[Byakuya follows her patiently with his hands in his pockets.]

Yes, that would be the primary purpose of coming to a place like this. [He glances around.] Is there any special reason for this? [Not that he minds being performed for. It just seems a bit out of the blue...]

[spiritoso]

You know how I said I would tell you when I got back my talent?

[ She sits down on the piano bench. ] A talent like this... it's better to show you than just tell you, right?

[falsepretentious]

[Now this sounds interesting! Byakuya smirks and makes a theatrical gesture towards her.]

By all means, go ahead. [It's easy to guess what her talent is already, but he's interested to witness it in action.]

[spiritoso]

[ She nods, readying herself. ]

Alright! I hope you like the song I chose! [ After all, she made sure to pick something that she thought Byakuya would enjoy listening to. There's no point in playing if her audience doesn't like it.

Soon, she starts to play a song, her fingers moving across the keys energetically. ]

[falsepretentious]

[He folds his arms as he watches her - it's incredible how perfectly her hands move across the keys. As she plays, Byakuya closes his eyes and just takes in the music itself. A pleased smile crosses his face.]

...Impressive.

[spiritoso]

[ Kaede turns to him, smiling a little shyly, but her expression is bright. ]

I'm glad you think so! I was kind of surprised to find out this was my talent but... I think I like it.

[falsepretentious]

It's an admirable one. [He nods in approval.] You're right to feel proud of yourself. Is your talent solely focused on the piano?

[spiritoso]

I think so. I tried to play the drums, but it didn't really click with me like piano did. I might try a few more instruments just to see, though.

[falsepretentious]

I see. It can't hurt to experiment further, though I imagine that if your talent doesn't apply to all instruments, than it would most likely apply to only one or one family.

Regardless, your skill is quite impressive. I'm honored to be a witness to your performance.

[spiritoso]

That's what I was thinking too... I don't think it would include any random instruments.

[ And she smiles. ] I'm glad you feel that way! I was really hoping you would enjoy it.

[falsepretentious]

Indeed. [He taps at his glasses.] I can certainly appreciate a good piano song. Thank you for treating me to such a performance of your talent.

[spiritoso]

Thanks for coming to listen!

[falsepretentious]

The pleasure is all mine. I'd gladly sit in on any future performances of your talent.

[spiritoso]

I'll make sure I invite you!
