With the Shanachie's auditions rearing their familiarly stress-filled head in her very near future, Mataya had made the decision to deal with one thing that had been bothering her for the past couple of weeks personally.
She liked Yasmin, she really did, but the woman's behavior during Spamalot had been, in retrospect, more worrying than amusing. You didn't become a diva overnight; something had to have happened to make Yas decide to behave in that way. And yet she had to take some of the responsibility for the nail-biting stress and tension that behavior had handed out to the cast and crew during that run.
Concerned about her employee, colleague, and friend, 'Taya had rifled through the files to find Yasmin's contact details, and had found herself on the phone to a secretary at WHAM! radio, much to her surprise. Still, she didn't let it faze her, instead asking for the really rather lovely woman on the phone to pass on the invitation to DJ Zazzy to join her, Mataya De Luca, for a coffee at Incredible Edibles, laying stress on the fact that it was not anything that would in any way resemble a scolding or a disciplinary action.
So here she was, sat comfortably in one of the sofas by the window, shoes on the floor and feet on the couch beside her, idly flipping through a magazine as she waited for her guest to arrive. Here's hoping Yasmin had actually got the message.
