David nodded. "Yeah, pretty much." he simply told. His thoughts of picking out the two other members though, wouldn't be all that simple though. Sure, it was only two people, but they had to be good. Especially if they wanted to get signed, or even travel other places besides this small town. It wasn't going to be easy. David knew that already. But to him, it was worth it. "Yeah, I figured we could probably pick the name before we hold the auditions. It just seems like it'd be easier for two people to decide the name instead of having a large group yelling at each other for stupid reasons. I mean, at least this way, we can discuss it better, in a more friendly manner."

Aeryn nodded, she understood where he was coming from. If she hated one thing about being in a band, it was the unnecessary drama. If she could chose, she would never enter a band again, she would be approached my some talent scout, and she would make it big. While this had been her dream once she had been in the spotlight only to be tossed out of it, she also loved the camaraderie. There were others who were just as terrified as she was, scared of screwing up. Being in a band could give you some of the greatest friends you would ever have. She found solace in these thoughts, they comforted her. "Band rivalry really sucks." She said, smiling. "Me and the boys used to get into it all of the time, I was usually overruled though." Aeryn was trying to let go of her bitterness she held for her former band, sure they had dumped her for no good reason, but it gave her the experience she needed. She hoped the things she learned would help with the band her and David were trying to form now with the naming. "I don't even know where to start." She said, worrying her lip softly between her teeth.

"It does." David nodded as well, frowning slightly at the next statement she pointed out. "Hm..well, my goal was to make sure that no one overrules anyone. That's kind of my goal actually." he shrugged, "To keep the band together as long as possible with no huge drama fights. Kinda stupid really...and probably a bit cheesy, but, it is what it is." he explained, hoping she didn't think of him otherwise. "As for the naming of the band though...I honestly hoped you'd have some ideas." he shrugged, twiddling his fingers on the neck of his guitar he held close to him.

Aeryn nodded in agreement. She knew how stressful the unnecessary arguments could get, especially between band members that spent nearly every day with each other. It always seemed like there was that one person who just loved to start things for no apparent reason. She also knew that if a band wasn't on the same page it could be detrimental to the band's success. "I know what you mean, and I agree completely." She said, "The industry is a crazy place. If you cant trust your band mates, you cant trust anyone." Aeryn smiled, albeit sadly, as she remembered her untrustworthy friends, but quickly thought about something else, so she didn't taint her feelings about their current situation. At David's reply, she brought a hand up to her mouth, looking around as she tapped her fingers against her lips. When she still couldn't come up with anything, she sighed. "I'm drawing blanks," She said, "How about we revisit this issue?"

David nodded with a grin. He was glad she agreed with him. She certainly did seem the total opposite of a stereotypical band member. "Exactly." he agreed with her, opening his mouth to add in something else but noticed her thinking of her next answer. He chuckled lightly. "Yeah, sure. We can do that." he reassured her, looking at his guitar he was fiddling with as if thinking of his next question to ask before looking back at Aeryn again. "So, what about these tryouts? I mean, there's no way a band made up of two people will be able to make it too far, right? Example: We'll still need a drummer, right?"

Though Aeryn had seen many duets make it, she knew what he meant. A band wasn't a band with out all of the necessary components, and to reach their full potential they would need those members. "I think the tryouts are a good idea." She agreed, "We would, at the bare minimum, need a drummer. A base player is just an added bonus, depends on the style of music, ultimately." Aeryn took a moment to think about the people she knew, and if any of them would be interested in the band. When she couldn't come up with anyone, she decided to ask David. "Do you know anyone that might be interested?"

"Definitely." David nodded in agreement, glancing at the guitar he was holding again and biting his lip in a thought. "So, what kind of music would we make?" he asked, though he couldn't help but chuckle lightly either. Other than choosing a band name, choosing the genre of the band would be just as difficult to agree upon. He was sure Aeryn had much different taste in music than he did. He thought again at her next question thrown at him, wondering himself if there was anyone he knew willing to be in a band. "Well...my little brother plays guitar..but he's just fourteen." he laughed, returning to his thought process again by leaning an elbow on the table and tapping his finger against his chin. When he also thought of no one, he leaned back in his seat and heaved a sigh, which turned out to be more of a groan. "I guess we will have to hold tryouts then."

The way David was fiddling with his guitar made Aeryn want to pick up her own, which she did. She adjusted herself so that one leg was tucked under the other on the seat, the other hanging towards the ground. She gave some thought about the music type, and opted to just list the style she was messing with now. "I can do a lot of styles, but I guess my favorites are the softer more acoustic ones. Power through the lyrics, not the harshness of the guitar, you know? But I am open to other things too." She said, absentmindedly playing chords softly on her guitar.
She couldn't help but crack a smile when David groaned. Tryouts were probably going to be a long few days for them, maybe even weeks. "It's going to be hard and were probably going to want to rip out our hair by the end of it. But at least we'll no for sure if this town has any talent." She looked down at her guitar briefly, then back up at him. "Hey, if worse comes to worse we can keep each other from going mental." She joked.

David nodded, agreeing with her choice of style. "I've actually gotten into that style as well. Although sometimes," he turned his gaze back over to his guitar, still fiddling his fingers around the neck of it, "I get in a, sort of, feeling, to where I can't help but not only power through the lyrics, but also the guitar." he looked back up to Aeryn. "It's like, some of the songs I write, can be so powerful and strong, that I can't help but let out my feelings on the guitar as well." he glanced back at his guitar for a moment bringing a foot on the seat and adjusting his guitar in his lap, tuning it before strumming his own chords. "There are loads of feelings I put into my songs, ya know? Proud, excited...anxious, anger.....sorrow." he strummed a long low note, keeping his eyes on his fingers from the neck to the body of the guitar.
After a couple notes, David looked up, chuckling lightly at her response towards tryouts. "You got that right. I might even punch a wall from all the frustration." he laughed, adding in his own little joke, and another strum on his guitar. "I'm just glad I don't have to go through all this by myself." he chuckled again, looking back up at Aeryn, his eyes fixated on hers with a warm smile attached to it.

Aeryn could tell that David was not only a good player, but one who was both dedicated to and loved music. She knew how it felt to write that perfect song, the one which after so much time and effort is put into it, it turns out amazing. The ones with some much emotion behind it, you almost cant make it through the lyrics. It was those songs, the ones that meant so much to her, she was terrified to play. But, those same songs, the ones that could cause her so much pain, were the ones she enjoyed performing the most. She gave him a nod, "It's like we were separated at birth." She joked with him, "It's crazy how fate works out, you know."
When he spoke, Aeryn couldn't help feeling the same way. She wasn't alone anymore, was she? At least she didn't have to be. She had the choice to finally make a connection with someone, whatever that entailed she wasn't sure. She let out a small laugh, "I'm sure I'd punch a wall too." She said, "Though I'd probably end up with a broken hand or something." When David smiled at her, she could help but feel happy inside, and unwillingly return that smile. He kind of just had that way about him, the cheery disposition couldn't do anything but fill her with hope that something better was in her future. And, despite her past, she couldn't help but look forward to it, whatever it may have been.

David nodded, "It is." he chuckled, glancing up a smile to her before returning to his simple note playing. It was like he didn't know when to stop playing sometimes. And other than being with his daughter, it was his life to play meaningful music.
David grinned with a light laugh at her accordance with him. "Well, honestly, I probably would too. I'm not as strong as I may seem you know." he pulled his hand off the base of the guitar making it into a tight fist, laughing. "Although I do admit, my hand is probably more sturdier than yours. No offense."

David's comment about his strength caused her eyes to search out his arms involuntarily. He looked like he could be strong, just not like those huge body builders, which grossed her out anyway. Wait, what? Where did that thought come from? I just met this guy. Aeryn frowned slightly, ad chalked it down to that fact that he was just a nice guy. A nice guy was a novelty to her, because she hadn't had very many good experiences when it came to the men in her life. It had kind of made her step back and stop looking, and whatever came to her, came. She smiled slightly at his last comment, "You're probably right." She said to him, holding up her smaller had, forming it into a fist. "My fist is considerably smaller." A lot of things about Aeryn were quite small, she was pretty petite. "I'm no she hulk either."

David laughed at her last comment about herself, returning his hand back to the neck of his guitar, strumming another note on it. She did seem pretty petite. Maybe that's what made her so cute to begin with... David shook that thought from his head then. Gah! What am I doing? This is just what got me in trouble the first place! I just met her for crying out loud! He strummed another sweet tune to hide his clenched teeth under his perched lips. When he thought it was safe to speak again, he looked up from his guitar and back to Aeryn again with a light smile. "Yeah well, I'm not much of a hulk myself. Unlike some of those other guys, I don't go to the gym every fucking day." he snorted out another laugh.

Aeryn dropped her gaze to the guitar that rested in her lap, distracting herself. If not, she probably would have embarrassed herself by staring too much. She wondered where her confidence had gone to. She wasn't shy, ever. It wasn't normal for her and she didn't like it very much. She didn't like feeling out of control, especially not after being hurt as much as she had been. Aeryn forced a small smile on her face when she looked back up at David and made a face. One that scrunched up her nose. Shaking her head slightly, she replied, "I think huge muscles are gross. They are kind of scary actually, considering how small I am."

David couldn't help but laugh again. "Well you don't have to worry about me, the most I'll do at the gym is watch all the other guys compare their muscles. Then probably laugh at how ridiculous they look." he let another chuckle escape as he strummed another short note, looking back down at his guitar and biting his lip, basically just trying to think of what else to say without letting them go into an awkward silence.
