[Anyone passing within hearing range of the Prince's room just might be treated to a bit of music as he practices by himself, the selection for today being Bach's Cello Suite No.5. Surprisingly enough, it's quite good considering it's Shinji we're talking about here and he's not really good at anything, feel free to have a listen, harass him, or

Hey. Are you coming out of there anytime soon?

[hedghogsdilema]

Er, well... I was just thinking that it's been a while since I've practiced, so I wanted to spend a bit of time playing...

Why?

[thebloodyjuliet]

Yumichika and I were going into town. Mireille thought you should get out of your room for fresh air, so I wanted to know if you wanted to come.

[hedghogsdilema]

I'm sure you would enjoy yourselves more if it were a trip for just the ladies, right? I appreciate the offer, though.

[Ashura pauses by the doorway, and waits until the piece is over before speaking]

Your Royal Highness has become very skilled with music!

Voice

[hedghogsdilema]

A-ah, Ashura... I didn't realize you were listening... thank you.

[heavens_schism]

I was on an errand, but I heard you playing and just had to stop and listen~ You must have practiced a lot!

Voice

[hedghogsdilema]

It feels like I haven't been practicing enough lately, but... I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[stardust_legacy]

...It's nice.

[hedghogsdilema]

You think so, Jotaro? ... Thank you.

[stardust_legacy]

You take your practices seriously, and it shows.

However, your highness, it has recently been brought to my attention that I ought to be socializing you...

[hedghogsdilema]

I-... I suppose you're right...

... I understand that there's a party going on in the town square. Would you care to attend with me?

[bleuthunder]

Your talent and skill never ceases to amazing me, your highness.

[hedghogsdilema]

S-surely you flatter me...

[bleuthunder]

No, my liege, I am no flatterer.

[hedghogsdilema]

Thank you, then, sir.

[wearyofscreams]

Your highness! A most splendid event is afoot! I humbly request your presence at the Carnivale~

A song or two from you would make the party really come alive.

[hedghogsdilema]

Oh, of course, I'd enjoy that...

. . . I'll see if I can gather up a few more musicians, though. Just having one would be sort of silly, wouldn't it?

[wearyofscreams]

Not at all! Your music is quite exquisite even by itself. If you'd like, I can lend the band to you to help you play, hm?
