[Good plan, though he wouldn't have done anything seeing as she's not carrying anything consumable.
He pauses in the pacing around the piano when approached and returns the wave with a nod, but doesn't return the smile at all. It takes special circumstances to get a smile.]
[At least in the sense that she sometimes does find herself taking some time out to just be alone with her thoughts. Those are rare, though, and most of the time she likes to be immersed in the present and the current of life.]
[Said with a smile, because she does mean it. Rin herself knows no instrument, so there's that bit of Obligatory Admiration she feels at someone who's been learning for all his life.]
[Well. He might preen just a little at that. Heh.]
I said I would. [Slight pause. Hm...] You might recognise this one.
[And so he places his fingers on the keys, and starts playing. If Rin was around the music area any during the Matsuri festival this is a song they played there that he has remade to work with the piano.
It does still have its native feel to it, so if anything, she could find that familiar.]
[And Rin listens quite intently, trying to discern something familiar. At first, she doesn't get it, because the sounds and the retailoring are enough to throw her off for a moment, but then...]
[There's actually a slight chuckle at that and he throws a very small smile towards her. It's good that someone else can tell it, because that means he has succeeded.]
Mhm. I tried memorising as many as I could back then and then rewrite them a little.
[His fingers do slip now and then, but a part of the art is to pretend that they don't and keep playing. One is only human, after all, and he's still not quite used to this one yet.]

Hey.

So that's the piano?

[With that, he heads over towards it, expecting her to follow.]

She does follow after him, though.]

He stops by the side of the piano for now, lightly runs his fingers over the keys.]
It's weird for me to think of a world without pianos.
[Soft snort.]

[She comes to a halt beside him and watches his fingers touch the keys, looking at the apparent anatomy of the thing curiously.]

I guess it is. I never fully realised it until I didn't have one, but... It's an escape, of sorts, you could say.
[Helps him relax and all that, when under pressure.]

I've been playing for as long as I can remember, [as he sits down on the piano bench,] so... It seems like an obvious thing to me.

Can you play something?

Oh! They played that on the festival!

Thank you.
