[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.]

Do you really? [ there's a sparkle in her eyes ]

I'm a singer, back home -- singing is my passion, though I do know piano and drumset. [ she pauses a moment, because she's not sure if this is jumping the gun or not but... ]

Would you be interested in performing in a concert?

I would see no reason to hide or lie about it. [Though he's glad to hear that she had a passion for singing. Come to think of it, was she not exploring around Freyr House the other day?]

That would depend on the purpose behind the concert, and how many are already to participate. It has been some time since the theatre was used by the Travellers for something like that extensively.

Four others have expressed interest in performing, and there's always room for more. I'd be happy to have more, actually.

It's meant to be a social event -- to relax and to unwind while enjoying some music. It's a bit informal, but I think it'll serve its purpose well.

Four others? Would you share who they might be before we continue discussing this? [His eyes have returned to their closed state while his hand slid across the keys of their own accord. Informal performances were nothing new to him, but they weren't what he was used to.]

[ she hums quietly ]

Francis, Euridice, Kaworu and Enrique. Do you know of them?

I am most familiar with Enrique, he works in the theatre as well. The other three I have only spoken with or heard of in passing, though they are talented with what it is they have to offer.

Does this make a chance of you participating greater, then? If there's someone familiar there.

Not necessarily, but in the event we were to do a collaborative piece together in some manner it does give me a better understanding.

Would you like to? Singing with an accompaniment would be lovely, or a piano duet. My piano skills aren't as great as yours, but I could manage, I think.

I wouldn't object to it, assuming we took the time to practice beforehand. For when do you plan to hold this concert?

It'll be right at the end of the month. [ day 212! luka's been busy setting things up and organizing and scheduling, starting just about a week ago, but there's still some time to practice ]

I know it's a bit short on time, since I'm telling you a little later than the others. If we decide to do this, we can practice as much as you see fit.

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 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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Edited 2013-01-20 17:30 (UTC)

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

If you hear singing in the house, it will more than likely be me. [ she chuckles softly ] I'll try to keep quiet, though.

Don't. Music is to be free, not to be silenced.
