3rd Inversion [Vine/Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Although many of the Garden's residents might have been hoping to never hear music again, anyone near the Vine will be treated to an impromptu concert of sorts. The mirror opens after the sun has set and the moon has risen to show the unusual sight of Akiha on her balcony overlooking the Orchard

Wow... That's... you're really amazing!

[ritsu_kouyou]

Thank you, Kochiya. I decided being stuck here was no reason to not practice.

[is_a_good_girl]

Guess that makes sense...

[ritsu_kouyou]

The violin is a delicate and precise instrument. It requires constant practice or the skills are lost.

[is_a_good_girl]

Heh, I wouldn't know. I only learned how to play the recorder when I was little.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Everyone learned to play that as a child.

[is_a_good_girl]

Yep. I'm nothing special when it comes to musical skill or talent.

[ritsu_kouyou]

How unsurprising.

[is_a_good_girl]

H-hey! I'm trying to be nice here!

[ritsu_kouyou]

You act as if I insulted you.

[is_a_good_girl]

You kinda did! Do you just not realize how you come off sometimes?

[ritsu_kouyou]

I speak what's on my mind without a rose-colored filter. It's not my fault the majority of people automatically get defensive and act foolish. Why should I mince words when it is a simple matter of someone else needing to grow a little thicker of skin?

[is_a_good_girl]

And that's wrong. You can't blame the hurt feelings others have as a result of your attitude on them. You can't expect people to change for you. The only factor you control is yourself.

-Surprisingly mature, but... It's a lesson she had to learn herself in Gensokyo.-

[ritsu_kouyou]

And they should not expect me to change for them. If people perceive my words as an insult and it not meant as one, then that is their problem and not mine.

[is_a_good_girl]

You can't even apologize for coming off that way?

[ritsu_kouyou]

I have nothing to apologize for. I'm not going to accept blame for someone else's oversensitivity.
