[Good afternoon Splendor, a lot of people may see a strange man walking around the Metropolitan District and looking at all the stores in the area. He saw the bulletin about a ball and so he's decided to go inside one to see if he can't find anything for the ball. He goes from store to store until he spies music instruments of various styles,

There's a slow, steady clap after a few songs. While it may be a surprise for a man so large to be so quiet until then, Lexaeus is used to staying in the background. Besides, heart or not, anyone can appreciate that which is pleasing to the senses. Physical stimuli and not emotional.

"I have heard few so talented."

While he initially had been searching for some sort of outfit as well- along with what he knows to be a simple Dusk who seems quite timid- Lexaeus is in no true rush. None of these outfits will be leaving, after all, unless he has underestimated this world.

[Frederic turns about to see the man behind him and looks a bit surprised to see someone was actually listening. Since from his point of view, the "locals" could have cared less.]

Ah thank you, sir.

[artof_war]

[Ignoring the surprise, he simply nods to the piano.]

It's a good companion for your music. I apologize if I was interrupting.

[refinedmaestro]

[He shakes his head and smiles a bit.]

Ah no, you weren't. I was simply playing because I love the piano, but some of the locals don't seem to pay me any mind.

[[Indeed, as Fakir walks by, he notices the familiar tune. He's danced ballet to quite a few of them.

So he approaches, an eyebrow raised. Far better than Autor. Perfect, really.]]

[Frederic stops playing when he notices Fakir and looks a bit surprised, but then calms himself.]

Oh hello, I wasn't certain if anyone was listening. The locals don't seem to pay it any mind.

...I'm no local.

[[He crosses his arms.]]

From Romeo and Juliet? The balcony scene?

[[That's the piece he recognized, at any rate.]]

[[ooc: I'M SORRY I forgot to ask if it's okay if Fakir knows his name XD]]

You're not from this place? Hmmm, how interesting. [He ponders for a moment, but nods.] Ah yes, that is correct. I read it over in a book I found in this world's library, I was planning on playing a few of my own as well.

[ooc: Yeah, it's totally cool! :D He's use to it, so Fakir can go ahead and say he knows him.]

[Hannah's already got her outfit for the ball, but she's still exploring around to see if she can get anymore information before she hears the piano. She's not a big fan of music, of much really, but this music sounds familiar.

She follows it to the source and listens, remembering suddenly that her master once had this piece played at one of his balls. Remembering those times makes her smile, just a little, and actually listen to enjoy it so she can keep remembering.]

[refinedmaestro]

[Once he finishes, he sees Hannah standing there and looks a bit surprised.] Oh hello miss, thank you for taking the time to stop and listen.

[action]

[learnedlove]

[She had been busy remembering so she jumps a little and quickly bows her head.]

I am sorry for standing around like that. Your music just reminded me of somebody. I'll be on my way now.

[action]

[refinedmaestro]

[He stands up from the piano and looks a little concerned.] No no, it's quite all right. You don't have to go, although I'm rather glad that my music reminds you of someone.

[After finally gathering everything for her Halloween costume, Elizabeth started to walk back to the castle to get herself ready for that night. Though, that music did sound familiar....Time to investigate!]

[Once Chopin finished that song, she clapped for him.]

That was amazing, sir! It was so beautiful!

[refinedmaestro]

[He turns around from his spot on the piano seat and smiles at the young girl near by.]

Thank you for taking the time to listen, young miss.

[cheersup]

[She approaches carefully up to next to him.]

You must be really talented. How long have you been playing, sir?

[Action]

[refinedmaestro]

[He bows to her properly and then continues speaking.]

Since I was a young boy, I was born to play the piano or said my parents believe. Some have called me the successor of Mozart himself, but I hardly believe such things.
