symphonics;

[Anyone wandering through one of the main common rooms will hear the sound of a guitar being played. He's not playing a specific song, just bits of melodies running into other tunes; a sort of solo jam session if you will. And out on a common room couch is as good a place to practice as any.]

[don't mind him over here, just leaning against the wall and listening silently.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[He won't, he's too wrapped up in his music. He's certainly got talent, since it's not terrible by any means.]

[fromshadow]

[he can tell. he's definitely not going to speak up, since it's pretty nice to listen to.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[He plays for a while more before trailing off into silence, looking thoughtful.]

[fromshadow]

[it's tempting to just leave when the music stops, but he'd told himself that he'd at least try to give the whole... friend thing a go with Roxas.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[He sets aside the guitar, sighing and running a hand through his hair. When he spots Riku he just kind of stares though.]

[fromshadow]

[just... raises a hand slightly in greeting, heading a little closer.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[Nods once in greeting. He seems a bit surprised to see the other.]

Hey.

[fromshadow]

Hey.

[shoves his hands in his pockets, stopping a good ways away before nodding to the guitar.]

How long have you played?

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

Couple years. My Riku taught me.

[fromshadow]

Huh.

[glances away, eyes wandering over the room.]

You're not bad.

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[Smiles dryly.]

Thanks.

...I didn't think I'd see you again so soon.

[fromshadow]

Why's that?

[technically this meeting is pure chance, since he didn't exactly go looking for Roxas.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

You didn't exactly seem eager for social time last time.

[fromshadow]

[shrugs.]

I was passing by and heard the music.

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

Well, that's something I guess.

[fromshadow]

[nods. he looks... awkward. he's not sure what he's supposed to do, really.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[Silly antisocialku.]

Besides swimming, what other hobbies do you have?

[fromshadow]

Cooking.

[he's never really had to list them before.]

...writing, sometimes.

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[Well, they can't exactly do that as a group activity. He pauses a moment, then speaks.]

...Billiards. Do you play pool?

[fromshadow]

I have.

[once or twice, in Radiant Garden.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[Now on to step two.]

Okay. Do you like playing pool?

[fromshadow]

It's alright.

[sees where this is going.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[Third step!]

Do you want to go play pool right now?

[fromshadow]

[almost chuckles.]

You could've skipped that second part. Sure.
