did someone say rambling?

For the past little while, the Replica had been just wandering around aimlessly. He'd been avoiding his room because... well... he had a roommate. He wasn't used to sharing space or even "playing nice". And the hallway his room was in? Well, that was out. He'd already pretty much been chased out of there with all the running around he'd been doing. And still he hadn't been able to find that charm of his.

Really? The boy was pretty bummed. So, he just wandered around, hands in his pockets and sneakers padding softly against the carpet. Now that he wasn't running around frantically, he was starting to calm down, to go back to treading softly, like the fighter he was. Even looking so relaxed, so bored, he was poised to fight. Every sense perked, every muscle ready to dodge and retaliate. Hell, he even had Souleater strapped to his side, held there by a strip of cloth he'd torn from his bedsheets. Warmth and comfort wasn't as important as remaining armed, after all.

Getting bored and not finding anything productive to do, he'd been about to head back when the sounds of music started to drift through the air. Freezing, the Replica tilted his head to the side, frowning. What... was that? He hadn't heard anything like it before. It was kind of soothing, actually. It calmed that faked beating thing in his chest, and... it kind of intrigued him. So, he turned on heel, silently and slowly following the sound, listening as it grew louder and a bit more... rich, maybe?

Either way, he soon found himself standing in a room, just to the side of the person sitting there and moving over something wooden and really, really weird looking. Honestly? He had no clue what he was listening to or what he was looking at. So, he just stood there and tilted his head to the side, intent and listening. Even though he could be a brat, and even though he usually seemed disinterested in everything, this boy was curious. So, he'd wait until the noise stopped to figure out what was going on.

For once, Austria hadn't heard someone come into the room as he practiced. It was quite odd really, and explained why, when he happened to turn to the side and finally saw Riku, he actually jumped a few inches, missing a note in the song. He quickly reigned his surprise in though, and with a curious (and rather annoyed) look on his face, finished the piece. Once he had done so he turned fully to face Riku, one eyebrow raised. "You should try walking a little less quietly, unless you enjoy startling people. Is there something I may be able to help you with?"
