Fifth floor common room, Saturday evening

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

Seregil was sitting in the common room with his harp, idly playing whatever came into his head. He was out here instead of in his room because he had gotten tired of Bob offering musical critique.

Besides every now and then a change of scenery can be good for one's soul.

Helen was shocked to find that someone was using the common room on her floor. And playing music, no less. She stood in the doorway and watched for a moment.

Seregil looked up and graced the newcomer with a smile when he finished a tune. "Hello."

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"That was... quite nice," Helen said grudgingly.

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," Seregil said. "You're new, aren't you?"

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"I am," she said making a small face. "And here quite against my will."

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry," Seregil said. "I know what it's like to be sent away."

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"Did they threaten to stone you as well?" she said with an edge to her voice.

[intraspective]

Ino... was not really a music lover. Definitely not. And she'd been trying to plan things. It was pretty though.

So, while she was making a bit of a face as she peeked into the common room, it wasn't an entirely annoyed one. Skill, in anything, was always a good thing really.

...for a few minutes.

"...must you?" Ino asked plaintively.

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

"Must I what?" Seregil asked, fingers still playing nimbly.

[intraspective]

"That," she said waving her hand at the harp. "And do it well enough I can't even get really cranky about the noise."

This was a compliment, honest. She was just going to sulk about it a bit.

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

"Then yes, I must," Seregil said. "To keep my skills sharp so I can continue to do it well enough you can't even get cranky."

[intraspective]

Ino considered that.

Then stuck her tongue out at him. "I bet I could find something else to get cranky about."

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

"Such as?" Seregil asked, grinning at her.

[intraspective]

"Oh," Ino said slowly, pretending to consider it. "Just about everything really. At some point or another. Maybe I'll get angry about your smile, yeah?"

Helen rolled her eyes. "Leave him alone. I like the music."

[intraspective]

"Congratulations," Ino drawled. "Your taste does not equal everyone's taste, yeah?"

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"Two to one," Helen said, putting her hands on her hips. "We win."

[intraspective]

Ino rolled her eyes. "There's no win in different taste. And I already told him it's too pretty to get mad at even if I don't really like it."

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"Then why do you not just let him play? Or go shut yourself in your room if you don't like it?"

Marco was bored so here he was, poking into common room. "A harp?"

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

"A harp," Seregil confirmed, still playing.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco blinked. "Seriously?"

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

"Seriously."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Um...that's....unique." Marco finally managed.

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

"Not really," Seregil said. "It's quite common where I'm from."
