[Anyone in the Opera House can hear the melody drifting through the hallways, but she's set the network device near the piano, recording on purpose.

After the nocturne is finished, there's a pause, and a small sigh.]

I made it through the tough part.

[A scrape of the piano bench and a few steps, as she gets up and walks to the computer.]I hope

Comments

[baixin]

That was.. beautiful.

[mizrahigirl]

Thank you.

[baixin]

Thank you.

[mizrahigirl]

I'm glad you liked it.

[baixin]

What song was that, ojou-san?

[mizrahigirl]

It was a nocturne by Chopin...he's a really, really old composer, in my home, at least.

[baixin]

I've heard of him, but I didn't recognize the melody. You play very well.

[mizrahigirl]

Ah, okay. Thank you, I practiced a lot.

[baixin]

I can tell. Who else have you studied?

[mizrahigirl]

Um, I study a little of everything, it's not very formal. But I like the old classical stuff most, I think. It reminds me of what I played with my mother.

[baixin]

I haven't played in a very long time.

I think you have great taste. The classical melodies are the most beautiful.

[mizrahigirl]

Why did you stop?

Thank you. I think so too.

[baixin]

I had to move..

Mother fell ill.

You're welcome.

[mizrahigirl]

Ah...

You could always take it up again here, if you wanted to, you know.

[baixin]

Yes.

I think I'd like to. Do you teach?

[mizrahigirl]

Ah, I don't usually, but I could probably help you if you had trouble?
