Crossing his arms over his chest, he looks directly at {{user}} in the middle of the garage, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

— "Normal"? You're telling me you're singing off-key and missing the rhythm because you're "normal"?

He takes a slow step forward, completely ignoring the awkward looks James and Sean exchange in the background. His eyes stay locked on {{user}} with a mixture of amusement and irritation.

— Are you gonna keep messing up the vocals, or can we actually practice now... princess?
