[ Yeah, he doesn't expect her to talk about the whole... 4am incident again like, ever. It's fine. He's just as capable of moving forward. ]

I wouldn't be surprised -- this place feels like one of those where everyone really knows each other.

[ He taps the back of the chair next to her. ]

Mind company? I'd kind of like to hear more. [ a pause, and a smile. ] And it looks like you're taking pretty good notes, too.

[ So he's curious - sue him. ]

[necromanswers]

Knock yourself out. [She gestures with a hand for him to sit, if he wants.] Taako and I were gossiping about your musical aspirations, a while back. I knew you were all about the conductor jazz, but do you actually play anything?

[deathcouture]

[ And he sits! Gossiping about his musical aspirations, eh? Well, it's better than other gossip, sure. He smiles, a little sheepish. ]

I do, actually. I play piano. Though it's... been a while since I've really played extensively.

[ There's only so much time to do more than a little messing around between jobs... ]

And I think remember hearing how talented you are with a violin. [ He nods at the one she's so lovingly holding onto. ]

[necromanswers]

[Piano, huh... her thoughts immediately shift to Barry, of course, and that long, blissful year where they'd gotten to truly bond via music. It's been years since they'd had a chance to do that, not just because of their separation but because they'd never have been able to fit a full piano on the Starblaster. If Kravitz plays, though... it wouldn't be the same, but even so, it might be nice to play with someone again.

Her brow quirks at his last comment. Where could he have heard that? Taako was never that interested in music back in the conservatory, so it seems unlikely that he'd brag about her skills, and if they'd only recently become acquainted she wouldn't have brought it up herself... just how much does he know?]

Who's been spilling my secrets?

[deathcouture]

[ "Technically, you did--" well, sort of, but also, that just sounds suspect. "A strange light in the sky--" nope. Sounds dumb. Besides, everyone's already filled in the blanks for him there, so even though he didn't know why he suddenly knew a century-long story at the time, he definitely gets it now. ... ... You know what? Fuck it. ]

Ah... The voidfish. I mean, it also came up in conversation. But mostly? Voidfish. When everything was, you know, fixed.

[necromanswers]

[Whaaaaat, wait wait wait.]

Oh shit, Fisher finally learned how to broadcast? And he sent, what, the Legato performance? Gotta say, I didn't expect that one to be my legacy.

[Oh well. If there's any story she wouldn't mind being shared with the world, it's... oh god, her incredibly embarrassing love story. Suddenly she has regrets.]

[deathcouture]

It's part of it, yes. And it was an absolutely beautiful performance, so... not a bad one to have.

[ Don't worry Lup, it's a very cute love story~ ]

[necromanswers]

Heh, yeah, you're not wrong there.

[It was a fuckin' amazing performance, in fact. Actually... him being a bit of a musician opens up some doors that she hadn't previously considered before. Thoughtfully she lifts a hand to tap at her chin, eyeing him up and down. Taako's got it bad for this guy, he's nice, looks great in a suit, musically gifted... yeah, this could work.]

Hey... since you play, any chance you want to be part of a little project I'm working on?

[deathcouture]

[ She looks him over, and he's... pretty sure she's plotting something. Or has some kind of idea forming. Something along those lines. Hmmm. ]

A project? [ Consider him curious! It has something to do with music, so yeah, he's already interested. ] What've you got in mind?

[necromanswers]

Well, it just so happens that Taako found me this violin. [She gives the body a light pat.] And while we were searching for it, I might have jokingly told him that I'd compose an epic ballad in his name. In typical Taako fashion that joke became a very real expectation, sooo... now I'm writing a ballad.

[She points meaningfully at him.]

I have a feeling, based on... y'know, certain things that I know about you two, that he'd really dig it if you played it along with me.

[deathcouture]

[ Yep, that sounds like Taako all right. It's enough to get a smile out of him. ]

A ballad for Taako, huh? I can't wait to hear how that ends up. [ Seriously - it's Lup and Taako, he knows it's going to be wild, by at least one definition of the word. ] Count me in. Absolutely.

[necromanswers]

Fuck yeah! Collaborator acquired.

[Lup grins victoriously - though it's not as if she had to fight for it - and holds her hand up for a high-five. The more time she spends around Kravitz, the more of a surprisingly chill fella he turns out to be. Certainly a far cry from the grim figure he'd painted for himself in the nerdlord's lab a year or so ago.]

I'll let you know when I've got something to work with, then. In the meantime, though, get your piano fingers practicing! Because you better believe it's gonna be a romp of a song, and I won't put up with a rusty player.

[deathcouture]

[ Hell yes he high-fives her! As if he'd leave her hanging~ A chance to play again at all is wonderful enough, but getting to do so with a friend, and also for Taako... It would be difficult to hide his excitement. Good thing he isn't trying! ]

Don't worry, you won't have to. I'll be ready.
