triste;

[There's a quiet, melancholy melody coming from the music room this evening, if you happen to be wandering by. Riku is sitting on a stool, reading carefully off of some sheet music as he plays along on the violin. He's kept the hobby mostly to himself for quite a while, but tonight he just feels inclined to keep at it a little longer.]

[Well what do you know... Namine was only coming back to grab the music she had left in here, but then stumbled upon this. She smiles to herself as she leans against the doorway and listens.]

[He stops about halfway through the song, sighing and putting down the bow with a tired look. He leafs through the rest of the pages with a somewhat unsure look.]

[sirenicall]

[She'll just ninja on in there and bend down to rest her hands on his shoulders, leaning in to whisper in his ear.]

That sounded pretty good to me.

[He almost jumps, relaxing again when he realizes who it is and turning his head to see her.]

That's because I've gone over it a million times.

[sirenicall]

[She gives him a kiss on the cheek.]

Keep at it, you'll get it.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[That gets a slight smile.]

Mm. Practice makes perfect and all that.

[He sets aside the violin as well, stretching and yawning after.]

[sirenicall]

Does that mean break time?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd say so.

[And suddenly there's a rather loud and familiar meow from the corner.]

...Prue seems to agree.

[sirenicall]

[What's new pussycat?]

Is this where you two have been sneaking out to at night? I figured it was late night study sessions.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Whoa, whoa, whoaaa~]

Yeah, much to Roxas' dislike. I come out here and practice when I can't sleep.

[sirenicall]

I'm glad you're doing something productive with your time and all, but I wouldn't mind if you woke me up when that happens so I can sing to you... I want you to be well rested.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Sighs.]

I know. But it's not fair to you if I wake you up all the time. What if you can't get back to sleep then?

[sirenicall]

Don't worry about me, I sleep fine.

*the music room is one of Sora's very favorite rooms, and so it's no surprise that he's coming in, unaware that anyone else even comes here -- he'll pause and look interested when he hears the music Riku's playing -- it's beautiful*

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[It certainly sounds well-rehearsed, if nothing else. Though he stops playing about halfway through, since that's all he's practiced up to.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he's taken a seat at the edge of a set of wooden bookshelves housing catalogs of sheet music, just listening, until he stops*

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[It's only after he stops that he realizes there's someone listening, and so he's staring a little.]

...Hey.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

H-hey. Sorry, it was just... really nice.

*he draws his legs up and feels a little shy*

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[He breaks into a relaxed smile at that.]

Thanks.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*that helps him relax too, and he smiles back*

You play really well. How long have you played?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Since about last December, so... around nine months or so. I didn't practice that often until recently.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he's pretty impressed!*

Wow... only nine months? That's incredible! I wanna learn to play something too!

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[He's smiling again- it's just a reaction to Soras in general, perhaps.]

I'm a quick learner, as long as I can learn from books.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

Can you play other things? I want to play the bassoon!

*his tail might as well be wagging*

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

I knew how to play the guitar once, but that was a long time ago.
