Ahh... Hmm.

[What a quiet start. There's a bit of shifting, too, but instead of Emil speaking much more, a song begins, slow at first— but it picks up, and grows spirited. It seems really lighthearted, too, though it gains a little force later on.

When it's finished - and it ends a little abruptly - there's a soft creaking sound: a boy moving on a piano bench. He sounds at ease, when he does finally start talking.]


That one reminds me of warm days and soft grass. At home, I liked to sit outside sometimes and feel the wind... It always made me feel like this. This 'winter' makes me miss that, now the wind feels like it might eat me up a little. So I like to hear things that make me remember such nice weather.

Well, what I wanted to ask is, do you have anything like that? Any music like that? The piano is all I can really play, but you can put most things to piano, and I'd like to learn and hear some new things... [A giggle, sounding perhaps like it might be hidden behind his hand.] I guess I'm not being very festive. I haven't gotten used to all this, though, the very cold, and the snow, and even the sun being gone. Maybe this is my way of missing home?

So I'd appreciate it! And if you play anything, I'd like to hear that, too.

[He's been hanging round Raul Creed's place, and he really... likes that piano..............]

... That's a nice piece, Emil.

[She sends an attachment before she begins speaking.]

I can probably find some sheet music, if you like that.

I feel that way when I play the harp. It has been some time, though, I don't even have one here to play.

At home I played the trumpet.. There are a lot crazier instruments around these days it seems.

I did not play anything fancy, and I suppose I do not really.. Think or feel anything as poetic as that when I played. It was mostly jingles and such for my shop at home.

[...]

Not long ago I saw a young man who did not even need a trumpet to play one. Unbelievable.

I do not play anymore.

Oh I understand, if someone were to tell me something like that I would never believe it. But I had seen it with my own eyes! It was not even an invisible trumpet, he simply pretended to hold one as the sounds passed his lips!

[Rather than be impressed, she seems really unhappy about it.]

Anyway, I do not think I need music like that. It is pratical for me to use in business!

That takes on a whole new meaning here, doesn't it?
halfagirl: (like she said the blood is thicker)

[personal profile] halfagirl 2012-12-23 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
Kinda. Even with light, sometimes you can barely see shi...

[ ... wait a minute. ]
halfagirl: (i'm half jill and half jack)

[personal profile] halfagirl 2012-12-23 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. But I can handle it, just leave protecting the place to me.
typhlopid: (Who's there?)

I am quite well, Emil, thank you. [Snake answers smoothly and warmly.] I was quite busy with my final examinations these last few weeks, I apologize for not checking in sooner. You seem happy enough at your new job. Are you doing well?

[He'll slide right past the question about the harp, please and thank you.]

Um...

[There's someone else in Raul's house, as it turns out. She calls out meekly from the doorway.]

Can you play it again?
typhlopid: (Zero?)

[personal profile] typhlopid 2012-12-23 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't particularly difficult, just time-consuming, especially since some of the other students I tutor struggled as well. But yes, I suppose I can rest now, if I like.

Do they celebrate Christmas where you are from, Emil?

Mmhmm.

[Slowly, she crosses the room and climbs up on the bench to sit right next to him.]

[She is watching, every movement of his fingers. Her Papa preferred that she didn't learn this way; he wants her to learn like a human child would, through practice and not robotic memorization. But even though she's learned not to just copy since she's been here, every once in a while she falls back into the old habit.

Every once in a while as the song goes on she hums along with the bass notes.]
