Warren narrowed his eyes at that. Encores were all right, but let them go on too long and he worried that Devin would be exhausted. He shifted from foot to foot for a moment, wondering.

Well, Devin probably knew his limitations. A couple more songs would be fine, anyway. After that, he'd see if he could use the backup as an excuse.

Which might not be an excuse, even, as he took a closer look at the rest of the musicians. They didn't draw energy the way Devin did. They were looking damp, at the very least.
