[ ACCIDENTAL AUDIO / ACTION FOR SAYA ]

[shifts]

[ The audio clip opens up with a song in the background of the general noise of Saya's garage, warbled mildly for the sheer expanse and echo of the space they work in, muffled too for the fact that the device is tucked away in Eames' back pocket. It accompanies the mild, soft whirring sound of a few fans keeping the garage cool as Saya works on

That's a terrible argument. It suggests that we should listen to it just because it's better than the rest.

[She's curled over a box, her legs going in their usual strange directions]

[shifts]

Wouldn't you listen to something better than what's available? Seems rather sound to me.

[ He peers over toward her, brow raising. ] Are you searching for something?

[byweavinglives]

I like the sound of silence.

[She looks up at him, and curls her legs even closer to her body.]

Gears. I like the sound of clockwork more than music.

[shifts]

Clockwork? That's a rather peculiar preference, wouldn't you say.

What is it? The repetition?

[byweavinglives]

[She stands up and presses Eames' hand against his own heart]

I try and mimic the sound of a heartbeat.

[shifts]

[ He studies her for a moment before rolling his shoulders, moving his hand away. ] Why is that? Have you not one?

[byweavinglives]

[She drops her own shoulders]

Don't be stupid. Of course I have a heartbeat.

[shifts]

So the comfort is just an idle thing, then?

[byweavinglives]

Why do you like music?

[shifts]

Rhythm, memory.

You could very well find the repetition in other sounds, you know.

[byweavinglives]

It's not repetition.

[She watches him for a very long time]

I know you don't think I'm stupid. But you think something else about me.

[shifts]

Of course I do.

[ The corners of his lips quirk, plucking up the wax and cloths he'd used on the car to carry back to the storage area. ]

But whether or not I tell you is another matter entirely.

[byweavinglives]

[She watches him go, and turns back to her box]

The music has to go.

[shifts]

Is that an order or a stated preference?

[byweavinglives]

Can you make me change my mind?

[shifts]

I could try.
