Rebel 29 [Voice/Action -- Forward-dated to tomorrow]

[not_meatbuns]

[Anybody walking past House 48 today is bound to smell the aroma of cookies. Tons of them. Litchi went a little overboard in preparing some holiday food - as per usual, since the woman never cooks in anything less than army proportions. The house itself is decorated rather nicely; lights, garland, mistletoe, holly, you name it, it's probably strung

[Frederic answers Litchi and has a bright tone to his voice.]

I will gladly come over for some cookies, Miss Faye-Ling. And I'm doing my best to not get any illnesses, I'd rather enjoy a winter without them.

[refinedmaestro]

[He's blushing brightly.] Thank you so much, Miss Faye-Ling. Or would you prefer I call you Miss Litchi now? I-I do not mind if you call me by my first name, unless you'd rather call me by my last name.

[ action ]

[not_meatbuns]

[Soft chuckle.] Just "Litchi" is fine, really, but whatever you'd prefer is alright. I know the formality tends to vary between cultures around here.

As for me... is "Mr. Frederic" acceptable?

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro]

[His face is still bright red, though he's trying to hide it.] Yes, that's very acceptable. And very well, I shall call you Miss Litchi since I think it would be most appropriate.

[ action ]

[not_meatbuns]

That will be just fine.

[Pff. The blushing is cute, but she won't pick on him just yet. Instead, she just turns to a small pile of gifts that she has stacked on a table near the front door, takes one, and hands it over to Chopin. Inside, he'll find some sheet music -- no composer in particular, just whatever classical music she could find in the shops that wasn't something of his.

She smiles.] There. Hopefully what I picked was alright.

[Frederic opens it with a small smile and looks up at her.]

Thank you so much, Miss Litchi. These are perfect, I'll be able to use them for myself and my students for when I start my private lessons again. That does remind me, would you like to sign up for them? Most people seem to think lessons are only for the youth, but I've taught students who are adults as well.

[Soft chuckle.] That's very kind of you, Mr. Frederic. I may just take you up on that... my parents tried to have me learn violin when I was little, but I'm afraid I was never very good at it. Maybe it's worth another try.

[refinedmaestro]

I can assure you the piano is a much easier instrument to play, you'll love learning to play such a fine instrument.

[ action ]

[not_meatbuns]

If you're sure I can learn, I certainly wouldn't mind.

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro]

With my lessons, I know you could do it.
