*all right, so it's not as if he really wants to talk to people, but that's never been an obstacle

*and look, there's an angel sitting next to him (with his guitar, actually), smiling faintly, because clearly you can never get enough birthday wishes -- and thus, quietly, once he's sure he has Dio's attention* Happy birthday. Again.

[waragainstfaith]

*brightens a little, and grins at him* Hi -- and thank you. Again. You brought your guitar.

[twelvestones]

*nods -- in that he's trying to convey gratitude for it, yet again -- and then just a little shyly, tapping the side lightly* You said we could make music.

[waragainstfaith]

*...awwwww, grins a bit meltedly* I'd love to.

[twelvestones]

*brightens just a little, then, because music is the most wonderful thing in the world and music with a Dio makes it all the better -- then a slight, questioning headtilt asking where to begin*

[waragainstfaith]

*shrugs slightly, watching him for a moment* Just -- start playing and I'll jump in when I can. All right?

[twelvestones]

*smiles again, almost brightly, and nods -- he'll turn his attention to the guitar, then, and start improvising after a minute, likely something slowish but with interesting riffs and stylizations*

[waragainstfaith]

*just listens for a minute or two, then he'll push his hair out of his face and start playing as well -- the best he can do to complement what Jordan's playing while adding something of his own as well*

[twelvestones]

*after a few minutes, without looking up, he's going to start playing a little more quietly and a little more simply, clearly intending to let Dio take the lead*

[waragainstfaith]

*so he'll readily do so -- likely still mostly improvising, and it's probably going to go a bit faster -- and he's not really capable of making up something on the spot that's not inherently somewhat melancholy*

[twelvestones]

*he'll follow along, then, complementing it in turn and doing his best to lend it a calmer and less melancholy air, without detracting from what Dio's playing*

[waragainstfaith]

*which -- will actually enable him to relax a little and slow down slightly, enough to put more effort into just making it sound good*

[twelvestones]

*has to smile faintly, almost unconsciously at hearing that -- he'll be perfectly content to follow his lead, then, doing the same*

[waragainstfaith]

*and, you know, presumably at some point he'll let this pseudo-song drift to its conclusion, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly once he's finished*

[twelvestones]

*probably won't be able to resist tacking a few notes onto the end -- but then he'll let his breath out as well and glance up, beaming faintly*

[waragainstfaith]

*...gives him a faint, crooked, but totally genuine smile* You're already good.
