[And start she does, after a few moments! It's the same melody from yesterday, though she tries to make her posturing perfect so he can follow along more easily.]
He's also a gremlin though, so every now and then his fingers just sort of tap along the keys here and there, like he's sounding out the placements of the notes. Or maybe he's just being chaotic for the sake of being chaotic. Maybe he's trying to get a little crack of a smile out of Natalie after that HOTASS MESS.]
[If this weren't emotion share week, she would smack his hands for these piano crimes!! She does crack a little smile, though, even if her voice doesn't carry that amusement.]
[She nods, and after moving to sift through the sheet music for another few moments... She starts to play something else that she hopes might be comforting.
She'll play it once through for him, first, before she shows him how.]
[Oh, that is a nice song. Once again, he closes his eyes a little bit into her playing, swaying gently with the melody. He's careful not to bump into her, though, keeping his movements at least somewhat restrained.
And when it's time to start playing along he OF COURSE IMMEDIATELY STARTS TO JAZZ HANDS AGAIN.]
[Ah... hm. He hums, plonking his fingers down on the keys again.]
Close, I don't know... But I'm very fond of all of them. [Haha!!!] Yin Yu I knew the least, but he was still kind every time we spoke. Minako and I shared a few similarities, and I loved talking to her. Zenitsu... [He promised to protect, so that's fun.] --made friends with my surly nephew, so of course I'd like him from the start, you know?
[Then, with a little quirk of a smile:] Though by this point, I think every death will be a difficult one.

We probably still shouldn't touch, so if you want to... I don't know, hold your hands a few inches above mine to get the keys right.
no subject
[And he will! No emotion cooties here. He'll look her way though, waiting for her to start after that.]

Stop that, this isn't jazz. No improvising.
no subject
Jazz sounds like fun, if it lets you improvise! Anyway, I just want to see what sounds these make.
no subject
[Punk!!]

[Clearly now is the perfect time to go BONKERS!!
No okay he'll behave for a little while and follow along properly, as a token of gratitude.]
no subject
[She'll take his piano privileges away. It's fine. As they finish:]
There.
no subject
That wasn't so bad, was it? I kept things going pretty well!
no subject
[She says that, but she's grinning. Awful.]
no subject
You should show me another one!

Stop that!
[She says, clearly amused.]
no subject
He sure is laughing, though.]
Alright, alright! I'll play it well-- [He says, promptly hitting two very discordant notes at the same time.]
no subject
She gives up and swats at his hands. He'll get a rush of both fondness and annoyance.]

no subject
Were you, um, close with any of them?

[WWX, please. She listens attentively, though, and while she wants to ask about the nephew part... There's a small sigh.]
Yeah, I get it. Still - I'm sorry.
no subject
But he just smiles and nods at that.]
Thanks. [Even if he hates thank yous and sorries.] It certainly isn't an easy thing, no matter how many times you go through it.
