Ryner studied the two closely, as if to determine whether or not that was only half truth or lie. But, since it really wasn't his business, he eventually just shrugged. "Okay then, so I'm assuming that means you will be joining us then?"
"Yes, Ryner, I will. Now can you drop it?" Anya asked.
"Dropped and forgotten," he promised. "Now, moving on. Any idea about your song choices, Seth? My knowledge of music is large, but I want to make sure there's nothing you were thinking of doing that I don't know. Rather work out any backup ideas now instead of wasting time on stage.

(I know you did, but I have no idea where it is. XD Oops.)
It was a gesture she had become used to, him taking her hand, but Anya had a brief moment where she almost pulled away from him. She didn't, but her arm had tensed in preparation. Being on alert the entire day had her more jumpy than normal, ready to remove herself from an interaction she didn't want to start. She wasn't sure if he noticed the slight reaction, but in an attempt to make up for it, she turned her hand a little so she could hold his.
Ryner nodded along to the suggestions. "Well, you certainly got good taste in music," he said, grinning. "I know pretty much all of them, though I don't know if anyone else will have the same idea with a couple of them. But you've got a large selection, so you don't have to worry about it if someone sings one you were going to do. Though, if you're good, you might be forced into singing all of them."

Seth did notice, because he was trained to notice such things, and because he was quickly becoming attuned to her moods — to her in general. Which was why, when she clutched his hand in return, he knew it wasn't him personally she was flinching from. It still left him wondering why, though. He made a mental note to ask her about it later, though in the back of his mind part of him was already puzzling it out.
But as far as outward appearances went, Seth continued speaking with Ryner as if he was none the wiser. He smirked. "There's no "if" about it. I am good. But I'm not a pushover, and some of these songs —" All of them, really, to some degree. "— have personal ties, so I won't be letting anyone force me into anything." He rubbed together the fingers of his free hand. "But if I'm being honest, I probably will end up singing them all, if only to get them out."

Anya didn't let go. If she did, she might have not followed them at all. With him to pull her along, she would at least make it to the square. He also served to help distract her from scanning the crowds. Ryner was right, they wouldn't let Daniel near her. With Seth by her, surely no one would really approach her. They might him, what with all the admirers he was gaining, but not her. It still didn't diminish the impulse to duck for cover and just leave the crowds behind.
With the fading light, most of the games and stalls were deserted. The majority of the crowd was already back inside their houses for the night. Yet the closer they got to the center of town, they found where the the other half of the town's population was. It was still an hour before the party officially started, but that didn't stop bottles of cheep beer to be pasted around the ground of young adults as final details got set up.
"I'll be over by the stage if anyone needs me," Ryner said. "Whenever you get ready to perform, Seth, just come on over and we'll see if we can manipulate the schedule.

"Right, I'll be right," Felix said, turningbto go search down those drinks.
Anya, for her part, followed Seth over to the nearest empty picnic table. "I don't think there will be too many good drinks. We mostly just have whatever we can get a hold of: cheap bear, whiskey, maybe wine of someone managed to snag some bottles. There's no place to really mix the drinks out here, so I hope you didn't want anything fancy."
