hai mươi lăm ❀| moon and mountains listen silently

[lotuslife]

[Vietnam sits in a quiet corner of the park with this on her lap. The lacquered instrument- a đàn bầu- would look completely unfamiliar to anyone who does not study traditional Asian music; it is a monochord, which means that it only has one string.

She's playing a song quite familiar to her, and singing so quietly to herself that the words can

[The Doctor is just gonna lean against a tree a bit away and listen.]

[lotuslife]

[She resumes her playing, but hits a note wrong again and starts laughing at herself once more. The Doctor goes unnoticed for now.]

[coolbowtie]

[He smiles when she laughs, it's really a nice sound and he loves to see her happy. But he's going to keep his distance and just enjoy the happy sight]

[lotuslife]

[Way to be creepy, Doctor, good on you. She resumes her singing, though now she feels like someone is watching her...]

[Vietnam

Laughing

My face

I mean, that icon is totally wrong but JUST SAIYAN and just watching.]

[lotuslife]

[PROBLEM MEREM?]

[wise_king]

[NO. But even he has to admit it's a little bit cute. In your human way :|]

[lotuslife]

[Don't mind her just giggling to herself, then. Enjoy this because you'll never see it again.]

mi?

[ It's not everyday that Rika sees her not!mother in such a good mood. She can't help herself when stops to listen. ]

You are still quite skilled.

[lotuslife]

[wrghghtkjg stops her playing, looking startled.] Ah! Rika... I did not see you there... [ahhh the compliment whyyy she is blushing now.]

[grand_theft_moe]

[You have a young girl as an audience. The song is pretty, but there's something strangely familiar about the player. And so is the accent.]

[lotuslife]

[She doesn't seem to notice the girl for now, continuing to play the song with a pause now and then to readjust her pitch.]

[grand_theft_moe]

[Chizuko will listen until the very end, then clap when she's finished.]

[lotuslife]

[wrkhfgdkjghj she looks up, startled.] Oh...! Did the noise attract you? My apologies.

[decadenzas]

[o-oh Vietnam laughing and singing this is so strange to watch. but he loves that song and it's been ages since he's heard her sing or play anything, so he quietly approaches.]

[lotuslife]

[H-hey she... she can be happy too okay it just doesn't happen often. Her finger slips when she senses someone approaching and she jerks her chin up, but the moment she sees that it's Charles she relaxes slightly.] A-ah. Charles...

[decadenzas]

[that is a terrible understatement.... a short nod of greeting is given before he takes a seat next to her, a little miffed that he hadn't managed to sneak past her guerilla senses and had inadvertently interrupted the song.] You needn't stop on my account.

[lotuslife]

[Touches the top of his head and giggles. Did you know she was even capable of making such a sound because I didn't.] Are you sure? I'm very out of practice! A-ah, and I said I would try to get back a sáo trúc, but they sent me this instead. I hope that's alright.
