Deck \ Sunday \ Afternoon \ June 7

When you spend several long (but very, very good) days in your (or someone else's) dorm room, you almost got the urge to go outside and make sure the sun was still there. So, that's what Alex was doing. It was warm but not mind numbingly hot and the sun was coming and going between clouds.

He was pleasantly tired and content with nursing a bottle of water (yes, water) and smoking every so often. And hey, at least he could remember the past several days. He'd had weeks where he couldn't remember much at all before. This was an improvement.

Alex was actually having a good few days. That was a surprise to him most of all.

[couldn't let the nice weather pass without a deck post! open as they are!]

"Well if he gets bored with the violin, tell him I like cello music." She thought of New Gotham, and the view from the Clocktower. "I'd love to hear what he thinks night sounds like."

"I'll ask him for that," she said with a nod.

"I don't know if he'll put down the violin. Our dad gave it to him and he's kind of attached to her."

The Lady Dawn.

"Awwwww," Dinah said, tilting her head. "Like you and the yo-yo?"

Which made her think, Yo-Yo Ma. Heh. Mmph. Try not to smile, Dinah.

"Uh, kind of? It used to be my dad's. If it's all Eliot told me it was, it's really old. And Eliot mentioned something that makes me think the Lady Dawn is a bit different from any other violin. But it's just as special. He just about choked when he thought Beal'd crushed it on him."

Thank goodness, the thing seemed to repair itself. It just took a bit.

Dinah tried to imagine a very special Stradivarius that one of her parents had given her, almost crushed, and nodded hard. "I couldn't blame him, not even a little."

"It was a bad day all around," she said, her hand reaching up to touch the sapphire around her neck.

"But he's really found a place with his music and everything. I'm... glad. Though I wish he was here. I think he'd have a great time."

Dinah nodded, understanding that. "I'm glad, then." She got to her feet, and said, "See you in class tomorrow? And at the salle."

"Definitely," she agreed, "and you should have the song in your email box. At the salle."
