Easing the burden of a wary spirit

[a_young_legend]

-Lugging a hefty beaten black case in his hands, Shinji settles down in the common lounge area of Independence 1, now mostly deserted due to the hustle and bustle of the day's schedule. He carefully removes a worn cello and its matching bow from the case, propping it up and pulling aside a chair for himself. He sits and closes his eyes to focus,

Shinji needs some Apocalyptica...

*Cagalli had been wandering I-1 looking for a technician who'd gone exploring the station, but paused when she heard a cello. Classical music wasn't exactly one of her greatest interests, but you at least heard a little of it growing up in a rich political family.

She followed the sound of music to the lounge, where a boy slightly younger than herself was playing with surprising skill for his age... she paused in the doorway, simply listening for the moment.*

Canon rock is more like it

-Getting the feeling he's being watched, Shinji looks up and spots Cagalli nearby.-

She's pretty... have I seen her before?

-He just smiles, however, and continues to play as he greets her.-

Hi. Were you in need of some relaxation, too? I came here so I wouldn't bother anybody; I'm guessing they wouldn't appreciate this sort of thing in the hangar.

And now I want to hear Apocalyptica play Canon Rock.

[allnaturalseed]

Well I was doing something, but I could definitely do with some relaxation.

*She walks in and takes a seat by the nearest thing she can put her feet up on.*

So, have you been playing for very long?

DEUS APPROVED.

[a_young_legend]

That's good. I'm sure you could use a break anyhow.

-Shinji nods.-

I'm been playing since I was five years old. At first, my teacher just gave me this cello for the sake of something to do, something to take care of all the leftover energy I had. I played without any real passion for it until recently. Now I've grown to enjoy it. It helps calms my nerves, and I like the sound of the music.

If Subaru goes straight I'm blaming you, Shinji

[silveracecyborg]

That's really good music. You must have practiced a lot.

I doubt it, Shinji can't even get the women in his own series

[a_young_legend]

Thank you. Have we met? You don't look familiar.

You misspelled weary Desu

*Asuka pointedly avoids the lounge today. However, she does find reasons to pass by it more often than usual. Not that Shinji can see her doing so.*
