George
George waited as Hawke considered, bending one leg to rest his elbow against his knee before taking another long drag of his cigarette. He wasn't in any big hurry, and his feelings wouldn't be hurt either way. They could part here as friends, and he'd be just as happy as if Hawke joined their Guild. Well, perhaps not just as happy. But it was a free world, wasn't it, and Hawke would have to make their own decision on the matter.
When they finally agreed, a genuine smile broke out on George's face. "A truly excellent choice," he said, shifting to clap Hawke on the shoulder. He was sure that they would be a good addition to the guild, and it would be nice to have someone he'd brought in, rather than to be the odd man out amongst a group who had known each other far longer than he'd known any of them. George stubbed out his own cigarette and rose easily, remarkably graceful, offering Hawke a hand up. "Tomorrow is fine by me. You can find me at the Silk Lantern," he added, naming a local inn, "And we can catch a skyship together."

if life had background music playing your song
I've got to be honest - I tried to escape you but the orchestra plays on
