[b]Cyra unexpectedly appears in the corner of the room[/b]
English
-
[i]He smiles warmly and continues to play ,but nods her way.[/i]
-
"Two things actually."
-
[i]Raises an eyebrow[/i] " three even " he smiles
-
[b]She looks puzzles for a second and then realises[/b] "Oh, thank you."
-
" No problem, I'm Delta by the way, " [i]as he talks he continues to play quietly , choosing something a little bit more upbeat.[/i]
-
[b]She smiles at him[/b] "Im cyra"
-
" So what do you do here , then"
-
"Heal people, turn into a wolf, drink shots, create small impenetrable force fields. The usual"
-
[i]He chuckles as he continues to play, and throws in a few flourishes , just to show off really ,[/i] " not a dull moment with you around then"
-
"Of course not"
-
[i]He finally stops playing to have a drink, [/i] " so shape shifting huh? How did that come about?"
-
"Experimental drugs were pumped into my bloodstream"
-
" your choice or under duress ? " [i] He frowns a little [/i]
-
"I did not choose to have it done"
-
[i]He looks at her hoping to convey sympathy not pity.[/i] " In which case my condolences,can I ask what happened?"
-
"I was separated from my parents at birth, and raised by an organization named ouroboros, then when I turned sixteen I was a subject of the tests"
-
[i]A level of recognition is expressed by Delta as she tells him what happened. As it shakes some of his own memories loose, he waits until she has finished. [/i] " Yeah.... Sounds familiar, that's a pretty harsh beginning , some people might have broken , you manage to hold ok?"
-
"Just about..."
-
[i]Seeing just a moment of sadness, he turns back to the piano and starts to play ,something that feels like summer evenings and long summer nights. something to take them away from the memories, and this place just for a little while.[/i]
-
"Where did you learn to play?"
-
[i] He quietens down again, and a small half smile crosses his face. [/i] " When we were very young Echo and I were living rough, there was a church hostel we stayed sometimes , there was an old blind guy who used play the organ and piano, mainly gospel but he started me off, and I kept practicing when I could."
-
"So you're mostly self-taught"
-
" I suppose ,he gave me the basics,and I was lucky I could play by ear,can't read music to save myself though."
-
"Too confusing for me."
-
" I think its something you can either grasp or not, I'm sure you have plenty of skills that i wouldn't have a hope of being able to getting"
