[OOC: I'm pretending this is like after the whole Lionel Russia thing cus I'm impatient XP]

*stumbles in kind of bruised and cut up but doing best to hide it and not make a big deal out of it*
*slumps down in arm chair and buries head in hands and then realizes that he's listening to music*
*looks over at her and smiles*
That's nice. What you're playing.

[wandsandbones]

*treats his statement as a question*

*smiles and gestures at the clarinet* The clarinet... *grins* Oh; what piece? Umm... I'm playing the 2nd Movement of a Clarinet Concerto by Mozart!

*looks at him and the smile fades away, turning into an anxious gaze* ... What... What happened to you?

[ohsogiddy]

*laughs* No, I--I knew what you were playing, actually. I meant the way you were playing it...actually in general the concerto itself--it's...nice.

Nothing. *brushes bangs down in front of black eye* Don't worry about it.

[wandsandbones]

*smiles bashfully* Right... Um... Yes... Thank you?

*sets down her clarinet and goes over to sit by him* Gideon, are you hurt?
