[He just LAUGHS because Natalie is doing her best.]

[With a wide grin... since he's a punk. But!! With that said, he'll put the flute back to his mouth and pause for a few thoughtful seconds.
Then, he begins playing a flow of notes that honestly sound like he could just be playing a regular sound, if it weren't for the mood twists and turns it takes. He just plays whatever he feels like, whatever comes to mind first, and that leads his fingers across the dizi. It's just as animated and full of trills as his first song, though; that's just a style he prefers.]
[His tune winds down eventually, in a meandering sort of way. Like he's just slowly moseying down a path toward what he eventually decides is "hey yeah this is the end of the song, sure". It's definitely not as precise and clean and polished as a professionally written score, but it is a song, at least - and it was a nice melody, at that.

I see, I see! Years of practice and "it's fine, I guess" is all it gets me... What a sad day this is. I'll have to retire Chenqing forever, now.
no subject
Well, it's up to you.
[why is she like this]
no subject
Ah, but if I did that, I wouldn't be able to play any other songs with you. I think that would make it an even sadder day!
