[Kaworu comes to the screen with a kind and gentle smile.]

Hello. I'm looking for a piano or a violin. I'm not sure where I can find one; not to buy - I simply wish to play for a while.

[and now that is out of the way, he wishes to ask something else]

I do have another question. Are you happy?

Comments

audio;

[5thchild]

Classical. Beethoven, Bach, Mozart.

Are you familiar with them?

[onceknighted]

Naturally. I do enjoy the classics more than most, though it seems there are a fair amount of people who enjoy it here. More so than in my own world, it seems.

[5thchild]

That's a shame.

Personally, think that music is an amazing creating; a song can influence your mood and can even touch deep within your heart.

[onceknighted]

[he pauses for a moment to mull this over before saying, somewhat reluctantly:]

I suppose that's true enough. I would certainly categorize it as something amazing regardless of its impact. [another pause] Do you have a favored instrument?

[5thchild]

Violin would be it. I quite enjoy the sounds it can produce.

[onceknighted]

Ah, truly? I enjoy the violin as well, but I haven't run into many other players.

[5thchild]

I'd like to hear you play sometime.

[onceknighted]

I wouldn't mind an audience, really, but it would only be fair if I were able to hear you first. You're the one looking for an instrument right now, after all.

[5thchild]

Sorry, I just promised someone I wouldn't. [and that person is rather important]

[onceknighted]

[another pause on his end]

You promised someone that you wouldn't play? After you had been looking, easily as that? [que]

[5thchild]

I'm sorry. I started looking before I was asked not to play.

[onceknighted]

That's what's surprising. It's a shame, really. Musicians can be difficult to find. [a somewhat melodramatic sigh follows]

Well, if you'd still like to hear my playing, I wouldn't mind, even if there isn't reciprocation.

[5thchild]

I would like that very much.

[onceknighted]

Whenever you have the free time, then?

[5thchild]

[ he is always free, honestly ]

I have nothing holding me, right now.

[onceknighted]

Which district are you in? We'll meet wherever is most convenient for you.

[5thchild]

Sigyn, but I am fine with going somewhere else. I haven't had the chance to meet the whole city.

[onceknighted]

Ah, that works out well, actually. I live in the paid housing district in Sigyn, so I'm not very far from the Hall. [a beat] If you'd rather meet at Draupnir just to get a good look at the equipment and space in case you get the chance to play again, that would be fine as well.

[5thchild]

If that is okay, I would like to see Draupnir, seeing I haven't had the chance to yet.

[onceknighted]

Of course. It has better acoustics than anything an open space or house could offer, anyway. Is fifteen minutes enough time for you?

[5thchild]

Yes, it is.

I will see you in a moment.

[onceknighted]

All right, I'll see you then.

[and off goes his bracelet! he won't be wasting a minute moseying over to Freyr and gets there in a timely fashion (for once) since he has the path between his house and that house memorized by now. once he arrives, he'll go wait by the large auditorium-styled front doors, hands folded behind his back. it has been a long time since he's actually played anything, and it would be a terrible waste of the mobility the gods returned to him if he just let his right hand sit idle.]

[5thchild]

[Kaworu manages to arrive nearly on time; he was late a couple of minutes because he did have to ask someone for directions (not having his powers, the half-angel is forced to use the "human" way to do things).

Either way, when he sees Charles, his smile widens]

Hello!

[onceknighted]

[the bright greeting draws his attention over, and he raises a hand in greeting.]

Hello. I hope you didn't run into any trouble on your way over. [the polite inquiry sounds more like a recitation than actual concern. showing off > small talk, apparently.]

[5thchild]

No, I didn't. Thank you. [kaworu is fine if he doesn't want to talk, really.]
