Panel 1: The woman with the braids stands, now alone, looking up at Darrell critically from the lower level.

Panel 2: The woman jumps up to stand at bar level on the opposite side of the railing.

Panel 3: She looks at him, assessing, while saying: “Cody’s been with the band since almost the start, but she got some kinda job offering in San Diego, so she and Blake are moving.”

Panel 4: With a smirk she asks: “Why, are you a drummer?”

Darrell, with a similar smirk: “It just so happens that I am.”

Woman: “Bullshit. Seriously?”

Darrell: “Seriously.”

Panel 5: Woman: “Alright, who’s your favorite band?”

Darrell: “Kataract.”

Woman: “How long’ve you been playing?”

Darrell: “Like five years.”

Woman: “What’s your favorite drum, the bass, the snare, or the timtom?”

Panel 6: Darrell: “D’you mean the toms?”

She glances away, still smiling but a bit embarrassed: “Right, yeah, good job. That was, uh, a test, and you passed.”
