[He didn't know what sudden whim had prompted him to suddenly test the extent of the gift he'd been bestowed, turning on the feed to one of the more spacious rooms of Draupnir with him sitting neatly at the piano. Maybe it was the lack of any proper sleep over the last several days as some may notice at this point, but he begins with a short piece that should do more than enough to stir feelings of nostalgia and comfort to those who hear it, perhaps even coax into a warm sense of tiredness. Those close enough might find their surroundings thinly veiled by fog, but it was little enough that they might not even notice after some distance.

However, the music evolves into another melody that quickly disperses the somber peace of before and replaces it with a sense of urgency, sadness, but at the same time an overwhelming hope and plea. Those who knew Eyes Rutherford personally would never have suspected such strong emotions were coming from his creation, and te powerful loneliness would be the most poignant of anything else felt.

But halfway through his hands stop and fall to his sides, the pianist closing his eyes and bowing his head almost as though in prayer as the soft illusions created by him fade. He won't finish it just yet.]

It's no trouble, even if you told me the day of. [But advance warning was always preferable, when it came down to it.]

Simply inform me of what times convenience you best, and I will tell you when I am able. Or have you not yet found employment in the city?

I--

[She stops herself. Considering this was Eyes, he might get angry with her if she refused. See, she can learn things!]

...I-I suppose not...?

I haven't thought about a job since I've arrived, but if you know of a position available anywhere, I'd be happy to take it into consideration.

[ she hums, thinks for a moment ] My schedule hasn't been filled up too much yet. Perhaps in the afternoon, two or three times a week until the performance?

[Hibiki how do you continue to get caught up with men like Eyes sob.]

Tell me when, and what you would rather hear when the time comes.

The theatre could always do with more regular artists, the natives enjoy hearing what Travellers have to offer and we have been low of number for some time. [Though in the end the decision was up to her, there were many other opportunities throughout the city for employment.]

That would work fine, though I don't think you've offered me your name yet.

You must not be trying too hard.

[Considering that this playing alone would get quite a crowd all on its own.]

[~*Magic*~]

Ummm...

[She doesn't really know any songs, but... Oh! Wait!]

C-could you play this one?

[With a bit of fiddling, she manages to send a private video message; it's of herself and Hisao singing this song.]

...I'm not sure what it's called, but... it's very pretty, and I liked singing it a lot.

I'd love to work here, I'll have to see what I can do about a job, then.

-- I'm sorry, where are my manners? I'm Luka Megurine.

As a matter of fact I do not, should I give more reason to?

[He still was wary of exposing himself to that degree in front of a myriad of people he could still sacrifice.]

[He listens to the recording first, more than a little amused by the choice of lyrics. However, further along he notes the hint of melancholy and other subtle emotions weaving into it, though perhaps he was reading too far into the innocence of the song.

While such a request may have warranted laughter or even teasing from others, the best he can manage is a small smile for her.] I'll inform you of when it's ready, and from there it's up to you.

[He shrugs.]

If you can do something well, why not show it off? Especially if you can procure a profit from it.

Luka Megurine, of which house may I ask? [He may have glimpsed her before, but he just wanted to be sure.]

In the event we do continue through with this, my name would be Eyes Rutherford and I may be found here often.

Some of us do enjoy our time away from the spotlight.

[One word: fangirls.]

[...Holy cow did he just smile? She brightens a bit at the sight.]

Th-thank you, Rutherford-san!

Certainly. But one must try their best when they are in the spotlight, am I wrong?

[Fanboys are worse.]

I'm from Freyr. It's a pleasure to meet another musician in the city, Eyes, I look forward to working with you.

[Yes Hibiki, he did just smile. Treasure that memory always.]

Is that all you wanted to discuss? I apologize for any distress you may have had.

Yes, I've made a lot of friends here so of course it applies!

[He totally believes they can be.]

No you are not wrong, though I question why the sudden interest in my own talents over your own?

A pleasure as well, perhaps we will see each other from time to time in the house as well.

Some would still argue that the friendships established here are not as important as those of our own homes. Perhaps it is only a minority thinking now, but it is prevalent.

They are just as important since you really don't know if you'll ever see them again.

If you meet a person you truly find yourself caring about, what does it matter that you aren't sure if you'll see them the next day. That's how life normally works after all.

Um... Y-yes, I think so.

[To be honest, she didn't even necessarily mean for it to turn into a discussion. She was just so overwhelmed by the music...]

Are you going to be playing some more? I'm not bothering you, am I?

... That it is. [Aladdin may not be aware of it, but he just unearthed what had prompted this display of music in the first place. Without pause he returns his hands to the keys and presses several of them in a melody only his still heart knew.]

But there will always be those who deem one more important than another.

I might, if I feel like doing so. [No implementing his power again though, not that he felt he really needed it to stir the emotions of others in ways his had forgotten to.]

Any other suggestions?
