i'm sorry

[invokings]

[ Gil has just returned from HIS FIRST REAL TRIP OF GROCERY SHOPPING. Even though he hates this place, he needs to eat. So, he's mostly got things he needs to slice and dice before cooking.

TV dinners? Beyond him right now.

And he stops when he sees Zelgadis. Staring... not at the fact he's being a goshdarn hippie but the fact HIS FACE IS LIKE A ROCK. ]

why are you apologizing for this beauty

[inthirds]

[his head is down, concentrating on the hand moving across the frets, making whatever melody he's got in mind a little too methodical to be melodic...

but that sense of space being taken by something hits him soon enough, and there's a bit of a double-take when he realizes someone's standing there at the barely-open door.

the last note fades to silence as he begins to gape back, not quite sure who he's looking at. or why...]

GIL IS SUCH A LOSER SOMETIMES

[invokings]

[ He continues to stare back. He looks human enough...

Oh -- he's staring.

Should he say something?! ]

... What are you doing?

[ SMOOTH... ]

BUT SO IS ZEL SO HE'S IN GOOD COMPANY...

[inthirds]

[a slow blink. seriously? he thinks.

warily:] ...Playing.

I swear this is the setup to something horrifying

[megamaniacal]

[ Man this is the happiest blue alien in the world. He's got the dumbest smile on his face, and he's taking a walk. Which is actually like...pretty good for him.

Except there are the dulcet strains of guitar music. Which perks his rocking ears, so he's just going to follow that music, and then just wait. And listen to it, because he never learned and it's so impressive ]

i welcome it wholly

[inthirds]

[he's not going to get any AC/DC out of this room, no, but...it's not pure crap, either! just...mellow, fairly simple stuff, with a few slides or twangs here and there inadvertently. it's hard to keep his fingers deft while quickly changing position while also not...breaking the neck with his grip...steady as she goes...

his toes (look ma, no socks!) curl and uncurl in the carpeting as he goes, almost keeping time. pretty much in the zone.]

[gatewhatgate]

[ The Monster had things to do today! Which did not stop him from wandering around the MAC. There were people living here! People he could talk to!

Hey, someone is playing music! Maybe they are serenading a dinner. Ooo, dinner. He peeks into the doorway and spots that guy he knows.]

Hi!

[inthirds]

[he's always a little more careful when he can hear footsteps, but even so, the last note hits too sharp when the feet stop and the greeting sounds.

Zel flinches a little, looking up quickly and blinking. who...?

oh.

that kid with the shadows and the crying...]

...Hi.

[gatewhatgate]

[ He's still peering around the door. It would be super-rude to enter his place without permission! But he gives a little wave. ]

It's Zelgadis, right?

Whatcha doing?

[inthirds]

[he only gives a slight nod at the name. it's nice, people getting his name pronounced right the first time...

his eyes glance down at the guitar for a second, then back up. he thought it was a little obvious, but...]

Just practicing.
