[Attracted by the music, you will find one John standing in front of you, listening; manners be damned. There are no pianos here so he can't join in, but listening is the next best thing, right?]

[restitchtime]

[Rose is dimly aware of someone lingering by her, although her concentration is mostly on the music. as the piece ends she slowly looks up, expression somehow flat despite the sunglasses blocking her eyes.]

Can I help you?

[windykind]

No, not really! I just wanted to listen. Go on.

[And he sits down in front of her, smiling amiably. What an idiot.]

[restitchtime]

[her mouth settles into a line as he does that. dude what the hell.]

Sorry, are you imagining a tin cup in front of me that I'm not seeing? I'm not a street musician.

[windykind]

Jeez! I would be playing with you, but there are no pianos here. And besides, you're pretty good, so I want to hear more. [Guess who is hell-set on making her play again? The answer is this guy.]

[restitchtime]

You're making it sound like I'd want to turn this into a duet in the first place. Don't you have someone else to bother?

[guess who is being stubborn just to be stubborn? THIS GIRL]

[windykind]

[He looks around.]

...Not really.

[restitchtime]

It's a big group. I'm sure you'll find somebody if you put your mind to it and try really hard.

[windykind]

But I'm already here! So humor me? Please? [If it makes you feel any better, he's not stopping either. Poke a coolkid enough and they eventually have to respond.]

[restitchtime]

Why the fuck should I? [no that makes her feel worse. GO AWAAAAAAAY]

[windykind]

Because I asked nicely, and also, we both know that neither of us have anything better to do.

[restitchtime]

Fine, whatever. If it gets you to shut the fuck up I guess I'll do it just this once.

[and she launches into this. the outrageous speed gives her something to focus on besides being annoyed.]

[windykind]

[He listens intently, attempting to follow her frantic movements and failing miserably. And at the end, all he has to say is:] ...Whoa.

[restitchtime]

[she grins, poking at his forehead with the bow] And that's after someone fucked up my violin.

[windykind]

[He grins back, pleased that he at least got a smile out of her.] What happened?

[restitchtime]

I was an idiot for six seconds and a certain asshole grabbed it and 'made it better' for me.

[DAVE HARLEY YOU'RE A DICK]

[windykind]

[He laughs.] Did you 'make him better' anytime afterward?

[DAVES. DOUCHENOZZLES, THE LOT OF THEM.]

[restitchtime]

His nose is still crooked. [she smirks. that punch was one of the most satisfying ones she's ever thrown in her life.

DAVE ARE AWFUL NO MATTER WHAT UNIVERSE. THIS IS A CONSTANT.]

[windykind]

Very nice. [If only he could punch his Dave when he acted like an idiot... oh, what a glorious day that would be.]

[STRIIIIIIIIIIIDERRRRRRRRRRRRR!]

[restitchtime]

What can I say? Strategy always wins the day, especially when it's got a mean left hook to back it up.

[aaaah yes, the good old days before Sburb. the days when Dave was a spatial home intruder and she broke noses in her room.]
