[In the middle of the room sits a white piano, and at the bench sits one Kanda Yu. He's got one arm in a sling, and his Tease sits where the music scores go. Kanda's idly playing the beginnings of a familiar song, though it's not exact. It's close, though

[darkforsaken]

[Lavi's staying near the door, leaning against the wall as he watches him.]

[stainedlotus]

[Staring at Lavi when he moves to leave, quickly looking away. Just a little uneasy. A-Attempts to leave, excuse him.]

[darkforsaken]

[Won't stop him but he will follow.] What's wrong?

[stainedlotus]

...I'd rather not talk about it. [Too many things happened in that horror hall >:]

[accedoletum]

[Don't mind him, Spy. Papa will just be stopping him from leaving the room by standing directly in front of his path.] Familiar.

[stainedlotus]

[dfg There's a Neah in front of him.] I-I know.

[accedoletum]

[He takes a step forward. Smiling pleasantly at the younger man.] I was not aware you knew how to play the piano.

Impressive.

[stainedlotus]

I don't, really. It's...just from memory.

[bloodyscore]

[It's the song that draws him. He knows it. Knows it intimately. Allen walks over to the swordsman, stopping when he rises.]

I didn't realize you played. [Barely hidden is the worry in his tone. He can hear so many things wrong within you.]

[stainedlotus]

...I don't. [Just keeping his eyes adverted. There is...definitely a lot of things that happened to him in the past week.

[bloodyscore]

[Allen frowns and slowly steps toward him, when he's close enough...? Hug time! But he's being careful not to jar Kanda's arm or hug too tightly. Just enough that Kanda knows he's got a friend.]

I could teach you, if you wanted. I taught Lavi. [Their Lavi, the nosy idiot.]

[stainedlotus]

[sdjgd Hugged! D-Definitely didn't expect it, and Allen can probably hear that too.]

...I don't know if I want to know.

[sonofpianist]

[Hearing that familiar, comforting song, he stops and watch. Allen will still be there when Kanda get up to leave.]

...I didn't know you can play, Kanda. [Especially that song. His hidden worry at the sight of the sling is there, mostly masked by quiet fondness for the song.]

[stainedlotus]

[Gdit wild beansprout. Though he shouldn't be too surprised to run into one like this.]

... I can't, really.

[sonofpianist]

[Especially while playing the piano.] From memory, then?

[A glance at the sling, frowning.]

[stainedlotus]

Pretty much.

[...Stop that, beansprout :T] What?

[countess_hearts]

[The song drew her towards the room, with a smile on her face but a grim feeling behind that. So, when she sees that Kanda is there, it's almost a relief: perhaps the 14th wasn't there at all.]

Were you playing that song, dearie? ♥

[stainedlotus]

[...Oh come on what is his luck. S-Staring at the Countess for a moment. Sob, he just wants out.]

... Y-Yeah.

[countess_hearts]

[Her eyebrows (such as they are) raise a little. It was him, after all, then. The staring doesn't bother her much, since she gets a lot of that every day.]

I wonder where you learned it from. Would you tell me? ♥

[stainedlotus]

[Kanda takes just the slightest step back. He...really, really doesn't want to answer that, even to lie.]

Just...from listening.
