*he's sixteen, curly-haired, and biracial, seated in a corner, an electric violin held under his chin. He salutes with his bow, waving it in a lazy circle before going into an exaggerated bend from the waist, almost touching his nose to the floor*

Hi. I'm Fiddler. You guys don't notice anything, I've been here for two days already and the first

*yes, he is actually going to dance -- well, okay, he dances in because there's music and sleep-deprived Cooper often dances to whatever music is available, and then he plops down on the floor in front of a sofa and is actually quiet as long as the music is still going*

[adestefidelis]

*stops playing as soon as he sees the dance, actually* What are you doing?

[vacantheaven]

*kind of sprawls* Right now? I'm sitting.

[adestefidelis]

Why're you sitting by me?

[verseslikeroses]

*waits patiently near the door of the room until he's finished*

Hi, Fiddler. *nods towards his violin* You're even better than the last time I saw you.

[adestefidelis]

*sets the violin down delicately on his lap* Yeah, I know. My mum's been making me practice.

[verseslikeroses]

It's worth it, isn't it? I almost wish I had kept with my piano lessons.

[adestefidelis]

*shrugs* She thinks so. It's not so bad. Sometimes it's kind of cool, but I hate practicing.

*wanders past, immediately makes a face rather like "^_____^" at hearing music, then makes another face, less pleased, at realizing it's, well, Irish dance music, then skids to a halt right in front of him and waves a hand in front of his face*

[adestefidelis]

*what the hell is wrong with Irish dance music? <--the typist* *looks up at him sharply and stops playing* What do you want?

Hi. *innocent grin* What's with the violin?

[adestefidelis]

*like it's the most obvious thing in the world* I'm playing it?

[pendergastmon]

*well, he's technically family, so Ryan will at least wait around to see if he's greeted; but he's not going to interrupt or anything like that*

[adestefidelis]

*technically! sort of. Um.* *well, apparently he likes Ryan, because he's not going to interrupt, and will start playing a Beethoven violin sonata, imperfectly but not badly*

[pendergastmon]

*raises an eyebrow, but possibly seems to be enjoying at -- at least, he's not leaving the room*

[adestefidelis]

*that would imply it, yes, if it's Ryan we're talking about* *will keep going until the end, then* Hi.

[savagelystill]

*zomg musics -- so she'll flop on a couch nearby or something in order to watch, critically, not saying anything yet*

[adestefidelis]

*well, he's not a virtuoso or anything, but he's been pushed to practice since he was little, which has made him more than pretty damn good for a sixteen-year-old* *doesn't mind the audience, really*

[savagelystill]

*she'll applaud a little when he finishes, then* Not bad. What else do you have?

[adestefidelis]

A lot. What do you want?
