| Takeru sat at the piano, practicing once again in a barren practice hall that he had reserved. He thought about how much things had changed since he had came last... "I wonder if I'll see the wolf again?" Takeru said, thinking aloud. But he pushed that thought aside, once again starting to play. "What to play... what to play... I know! I'll play this!" He exclaimed. His fingers began to dance across the keys like a master ballerina at her prime as he played the Toreador March. He did not cease focus until he had stopped playing. "Any requests?" He said, knowing that while the concert hall he was in LOOKED empty, it may not actually BE empty. He said it this time not out of habit either, but in case anyone was there, and to let them know he wasn't angry at them. | |

| It was not that common for Liam to be around Suzie Q, let alone the rented halls that were around there. But sometimes it was good to change the pace and see something new. Maybe it was fate conducting his walk today as he passed through the most different types of people practicing their crafts generally music related in that area. It was a pleasant surprise to listen to someone play the piano when he was walking by, making the man spot in his track and listen to it. If his memory didn't fail him, this was one of the things that had good memories pre-divide attached to it. The melody was not as familiar, but it sure was nice. When the cue was given by the boy playing, he would smile from the open door and clap slowly before speaking. ~ Nothing in particular, I know very little. But a good song is always a good song. ~ | |

| "Thank you. That was the Toreador March by Georges Bizet from the opera Carmen." Takeru said, smiling. "But if it's anything goes, well... I'm feeling bold so..." he said, beginning to once again focus as he concentrated on the song he was about to play. "How about...mmmm....ah! I know! The Czardas by Vittrio Monti!" He said, starting to play. He knew this probably would be one of the harder things he had to play today, but he didn't care. He was far to galvanized to stop now. One moment graceful and slow, the next lightning fast and tense, his fingers moved in tune with the song, not ceasing for almost 5 minutes until he had finished playing the song. "So... how was that? He said to the man. | |

| ~ Ah yes! A classic one. Good taste in music you have there. ~ He commented before finding a place to lean on in that practice hall, getting a better spot to listen to the next his the man was preparing. ~ Go for it. ~ The red haired observed before the other started playing, listen to it intently and appreciating the sound waves passing by his ears. It was quite an experience, and sometimes he would even close his eyes to listen to it. ~ How many pair of hands do you have to play that fast, man? ~ He said after the other finished, because even the slowest part was very complex, at least for him. | |

| "Two. It's just that I tend to be very, very good at what I do... and in general, with my hands." Takeru said. "Do you play an instrument?" He asked the man curiously. "Oh. By the way, I'm Takeru Kagemaru. Who are you?" He said. | |

| ~ Very good with your hands, huh... ~ He couldn't think into anything other than some perverted stuff after that phrase, what caused him to laugh a little before continuing with the subject, knowing well that that was not what he meant. ~ Well, I played the piano a long time ago... ~ He scratched his head, remembering his kid days and his lessons ~ I'm Liam. Liam O'Neill. Nice to meet you Kagemaru. ~ | |

| "Nice to meet you too, Liam." Takeru said, smiling as well. "So... any more requests for me to play?" He asked him, knowing that he probably didn't have too much time left before he had to go, enough for one last song for today. | |

| ~ Hm, do you know how to play the Irish national anthem in the piano, Telos? ~ It must be a strange request, but it sure would bring back some good memories for him. His grandmother loved to sing that to him in the nights he couldn't sleep properly, and it has been a long time since he didn't heard that. | |

| "Well, almost anyone else here in this town might have said no cause they don't know it, but..." Takeru began, smirking. "I can and will. My late piano teacher's husband was irish, and as a result, she decides to have me learn it when I heard him singing it one time, and I asked what it was." Takeru said, smiling. He began to play with the focus of a microscope, and with the precision of a constant machine. When he was done, he smiled and said: "Was that good? It's been a while since I last played it, but I still remember how to play." He asked Liam. | |

| ~ Good to know! Now let's listen to it. ~He closed his eyes as soon as the other began playing, feeling the melody influence his thoughts and memories, taking him back to that moments of peace when he was just an afraid kid in the midst of a mental hurricane. He opened his eyes just when the boy asked about how was it, with a very satisfied smile on his face. ~ Thanks. It was a marvelous remembrance to have... ~ | |

| "I can tell." Takeru said, nodding. "I have to go now, though..." he said. "But if it's not too much trouble, you wanna hang out again sometime? We can exchange phone numbers, if you like." He asked Liam, hoping he would say yes. One more new friend was always nice. | |

| ~ Oh, no problem. ~ He snapped out of his expression, going back to the normal slight smile he was used to. ~ Yeah, sure. My number is... ~ He said the number, taking out his cellphone. ~ Send me a message whenever you want to play some nice things again, k? ~ He smiled happily before turning and getting out the place. ~ See you around, Telos ~ - EXIT - | |

| "Thank you, and good bye, Liam!" Takeru said. "Well... he was certainly interesting. We should definitely meet with him again." Twelve remarked. Takeru mentally nodded as he walked off, confident in that he had made the right choice. Exit. Mission complete. Grade: S. Congratulations! | |
