What's that? *She stepped over to examine it, looking back up with a smile.* Is that a guitar? Do you play?

*He nodded, flushing a little and rubbing the back of his neck.*
"A little." *The truth was, he was an amazingly talented player.*

Oh, I'm sure you're great! *She picked it up, handing it over to him and then plopping back down on the bed.* Play for me, O Talented One.

*He rolled his eyes, taking it and placing it with the ease that came from handling an instrument all the time.*
"Any requests that aren't Josh Groban?"

*He laughed a little.*
"All I know are folk tunes." *He said embarrassedly.* "I taught myself to play at family gatherings. Guitar was the only instrument that nobody played yet."

*He rolled his eyes.*
"It's not going to feel right without the other players. Who you'll meet and hear soon."

Oh, come on! Play anything. I'm sure it'll be fantastic. *She hopped up to give him a quick kiss.* Please?

"Fine, but I don't sing."
*He concentrated on tuning the guitar a little before playing something pretty much improvised and August-Rush-Ey that vaguely sounded like something he had heard at a gathering. Nothing was ever much planned, just impromptu. It would have sounded better with a fiddle and a beat in the background, but oh well. He tried as best he could to use one hand to provide the beat as he played.*
((I totally forget what that instrument is called. But it's round and it makes a drummy sound. Only cooler. And has a celtic name.))

*She listened silently, enchanted, then applauded when he ended.* That was wonderful, Michael!

*He rolled his eyes.*
"Sounds better with my father on the bodhran and Erin on the fiddle."

Oh, whatever. That was great, and you know it. *She kissed him gently again.* You do realize you'll have to play for me constantly when you get back, right?

"Oh Jesus help me." *He chuckled.* "I'll be glad to, if you like it that much." *He kissed her on the cheek.*
*The goddess of foreshadowing came and whacked them on the head with anvils.*

And I do. *She grinned at him, brushing her curls out of her face.*
