[He puts the empty glass down, head propped up by his hand as he gives Elliot most of his attention. The phone buzzes, but he knows instinctually it's Sharpay. He doesn't want to talk to her anymore.

Truthfully he's kinda bummed out. Alex had eventually responded near the end of the set that he had to cancel and he's sorry and etc etc but Ryan stopped reading the long message halfway through.

Nope. [Which isn't a lie. He's never had a girlfriend and he never will. Elliot doesn't need to know that's why he's saying no, though.] But this wasn't the worst way to spend my evening so thanks for that. [A real grin follows after that.] What's the main act like? I'm still deciding if I wanna stick around or just head out.
