[Accidental Voice/Action] (afternoon of the 21st)

[ledbythewind]

[Richard didn't initially realize what day it was when he woke up. In fact, it didn't even occur to him until he checked the calendar, at which point it hit him like a ton of bricks.

A year.He's been in Luceti for one whole year now. And how much has happened during that year... some of the happiest and saddest moments of his life have occurred

[Cielo, this time being too lazy to even bother with sleeping on someone else's couch, had been napping in the cherry tree. The wind may or may not have been his fault. He stirs awake when he hears the violin, but hasn't done anything other than sit up on the branch and listen. He might be a kid, but you don't get to his age without acquiring a taste for culture at some point or another.

Admittedly, he's kind of bothered by how sad it sounds.]

[Unaware of Cielo's presence, Richard just continues to play, lost in the music he's creating. If he can just focus on that, focus on the sound, he can let his mind go blank and forget about all of the other things that have been troubling him.]

[He continues listening for a while, before he decides to interrupt. Beautiful as it is, Cielo didn't like the idea that the player might be sad -- especially when it was someone he'd call one of his. He wasn't a polite audience, anyway.]

Hey.

[ledbythewind]

[That voice is enough to startle Richard out of his trance; he lowers the bow and looks up to see just where it's coming from. The tree, obviously, but he doesn't see the boy right away.]

I didn't know I had an audience.

action

[windythings]

Well, now you do!

[He's swinging his legs, idly.]

action

[ledbythewind]

Then may I ask for your name?

action

[windythings]

I'm Cielo~ Who're you?

action

[ledbythewind]

Richard. It's a pleasure to meet you, Cielo.

[... what bits of you he can see up in that tree, that is.]

action

[windythings]

You play the violin a lot?

[He's hopping down from the branch, landing safely on his feet.]

action

[ledbythewind]

No, I actually haven't touched one in over a year. It was just by chance that I found this in the store and decided to give playing a try again.

[He absentmindedly runs his fingers over the wood of the instrument as he says this.]

action

[windythings]

Ahhh. It sounded really sad.

action

[ledbythewind]

Did it? I suppose it was a rather sad tune...

action

[windythings]

Are you sad?

[...What is tact, can it be eaten.]
