[She hadn't thought about him much, not really. Austria seemed to be doing fairly well for himself here, there was nothing much to worry about. Really

But... she hadn't listened to him play anything in so long, and this morning, after opening that odd package, she couldn't help but just want to hear his music, even if it was Chopin

[Austria thought that he might as well make the best of his time since had another two hours between classes. He sits down at the piano and starts playing Mozart's Piano Sonata.

He's too into the musing to notice Liechtenstein right now.]

[kleinefurstin]

[It'll take her a moment to decide, but she'll quietly make her way in--Austria never had minded her listening to him before, and it would be more polite to come in and sit down than to stand in the doorway like a creeper.

She'll stay quiet until there's a pause, long enough for her to speak his name]

[After the 1st movement, he takes a short break to rest his hands. He know someones watching him, but it's not really something out of the ordinary. Non-drones stop by all the time and watch him.]

Is someone there?

[kleinefurstin]

A-ah, it's just me. [Fidgeting a little. Would he mind? She hadn't been away from him for long, but...]

[nopastaforyou]

A-Ah...Liechtenstein...

[These feelings and memories he had regained this morning. He will not lower himself to those two fool's levels. He won't. He can't.]

Shouldn't you be in class?

[kleinefurstin]

Possibly. [She smiles a little at that--it's not like her to skip class, no matter how boring, but today she just couldn't focus] I should be in--what was it--home ec. I don't think I'll suffer terribly from missing it; it isn't as if I don't know how to cook or mend.

[nopastaforyou]

As long as you at least go to the rest of your classes. I don't think the...other teachers won't mind if you skip just one.

[kleinefurstin]

I've already learned most of the things they want to teach, in any case. [plus she doesn't exactly enjoy listening to any of the history lessons... it's awkward]

[nopastaforyou]

But there will be consequences if you don't at least attend. [He stands up and walks over to her.]

I would hate to see you droned.

[kleinefurstin]

[she keeps smiling--she's happy he's concerned for her] Just for today, it won't hurt, I don't think.

[nopastaforyou]

[He smiles back at her.] So what exactly brings you here?

[kleinefurstin]

Oh, I was just... [feeling a little odd, something to do with weird longings and loneliness from not seeing him in a while, but she won't admit to that] Thinking of you. Are you busy, now? I can go back to class if it's a bother.

[nopastaforyou]

Thinking of me? I see...[The truth is he was feeling the same way, but he knew that if he ended up visiting her during class, it would just bring attention to him. After all, he doesn't have those kind of hobbies. Nor is he one to have silly little crushes on anyone he looked after.]

And don't worry, you're not bothering at all. I'm in between classes...I don't have to deal with those foolish drones for another two hours.

[kleinefurstin]

It must be nice to have a break. [She'll take a seat, using whatever is closest to the piano that she can balance on] I don't mind if you keep playing.

[nopastaforyou]

Then I will continue playing for old times sake. Do you have any requests by any chance?

[kleinefurstin]

No, hearing you play is enough for me.
