Bikky stared at the object with horrified fascination.
“What is that? Some kinda weird creature?”
Dee tried to disguise his laughter with a cough, but wasn’t very successful so he gave up, grinning like a loon. Ryo just looked pained.
“They’re a family heirloom; my great grandfather’s bagpipes. They’re very old.” At Bikky’s look of incomprehension, he added, “Bagpipes, Scotland’s traditional musical instrument? You must have heard of them. What are they teaching you in school?”
“Loads of stuff, just not about Scotland. Why would they? This is America.”
Dee chuckled.
“Give it up, babe, at least you appreciate them.”
