[Rei is in the music room, sitting on the piano bench while she restrings her viola. She takes her time about it, tuning each new string by ear before moving on to the next.]

has few hobbies, where summer song rings hollow

[Minato had been wanting to stop by the Music Room for a while. It should've been somewhere that he's visited more often anyway. But when he entered, he didn't think he'd see anyone there. Not that he wasn't pleasantly surprised to see her.

He quietly watched her for a moment before approaching.]

Rei.

Minato-kun. [Her smile is small, but present.]

[action] jivitadana November 22 2011, 03:39:26 UTC

May I?

[Minato indicated to the space on the piano bench next to her. But he hadn't minded standing or even sitting on the floor by her if she preferred that.]

[action] second_first November 22 2011, 03:40:11 UTC

[She nods and scoots over a little.]

[Minato sat down next to her, hands in pockets like normal. He watched and listened when she tuned the third string.]

You know how to play?

[action] second_first November 22 2011, 16:24:15 UTC

[She nods without looking up.]

[Minato glanced back at the piano behind him, thinking that she didn't need it to help tune her viola. She must have good if not perfect pitch. He waited for a moment before talking again so as not to disturb her so much.]

I'd like to learn.

[action] second_first November 22 2011, 21:37:03 UTC

Viola?

[Minato smiled, taking another moment to mentally tell Orpheus that he didn't think there would be a lyre available.]

... Violin. Music Club would've had me play that if I joined them.

[action] second_first November 23 2011, 00:59:54 UTC

I can help.

[action] jivitadana November 23 2011, 02:30:03 UTC

[Minato blinked once.]

Is that okay?

[action] second_first November 23 2011, 02:33:01 UTC

Yes.

[action] jivitadana November 23 2011, 02:55:51 UTC

[Minato smiled slightly.]

Thank you. [Might as well do the things he had wanted to try, now that he had the chance.]

I'll help you with the fish too.

[action] second_first November 23 2011, 03:06:06 UTC

Okay.

[action] jivitadana November 23 2011, 03:30:54 UTC

[Minato nodded. He had to go read more about playing the violin then. And maybe borrow a violin and bow out of the Music Room for a while.]

When you're finished tuning it, could I hear you play something?

[action] second_first November 23 2011, 03:35:32 UTC

[She nods. She finishes up after a moment, then raises the instrument and plays from memory.

I'm too lazy to go search YouTube. But it's pretty good. In a technical sense. There's not much emotion in it.]
