anyway. when wang wu arrives to the church, she'll see that the door is open. temenos is in here, looking like a fish who just got tossed right into the ocean, just perfectly at home: for someone who can be quite the heretic, who tends to really just say things, who tends to question the gods and all of their wisdom, it is very, very clear that this kind of place holds a very special place in his heart.
he's sitting over at the organ when rabbit walks in, and he lifts a hand to give her a wave. ]
I've one or two hymns memorized, so, that is the best I can do. If there's a book of music around, I suppose I could play something more local.
[ yeah you're getting church music sorry that's all i got.
anyway. temenos stretches his wrists out briefly and settles into place. and once he's ready, he takes a breath, and then begins to play a song. it is very well played! he is quiet and focused, elegant in his gestures. someone was well taught. ]
There is a music store. I'm sure we can find something there for you to play.
[ maybe they can find something to woo axel with.

If you'd like. I'm a bit rusty, so I can't guarantee those would be any good.
[ he's no gil, mr hot piano himself, but he can do a little. so!
the hymn is beautiful - it echoes through the space of the church, filling it up with resonant sound. this is clearly a familiar old tune, and he plays through the keys easily, letting rabbit stay exactly where she is. it's certainly not dancing music, but there's something sacred about it, and it suits the space.

The end. And may the Sacred Flame guide you, or something like that.
[ she does wind up smiling as he plays. the proximity lets her feel every note of the song. that coupled with the location really hits something different in her. it's almost like finding something warm and fused with power of some kind. she closes her eyes, her smile growing bigger as she listens to the end of the song.
then she'll open an eye to peek at him. ]
And may it guide you as well, or something like that. [ giving a point with her finger ] It was quite nice, my dearest.
I wouldn't say often. It was part of my education: the Pontiff ensured that both Roi and I were well versed in all aspects of the Church, from the best way to clean the baseboards up to reciting the scriptures and singing in the choirs. Playing the piano or the organ is a useful skill for a cleric to have.
[ not that he uses it much as an inquisitor, but, hey. you help where you can. ]
Though, to be quite honest, I couldn't reach the pedals for most of my childhood. It took until I was older to get that far.
[ he thinks something along the lines of You saw my memories last week, why are you surprised. but it's terribly affectionate, and you can tell even by the thought bubble, though he does attempt to dodge out of the cheek pinch. stop that. ]
Hmm. [ talents ] Thievery. [ liar ] Physical combat. [ liar 2 ] I'm excellent in a bar fight.

Maybe we could make a race of it, hmm? [ It would hardly be fair to him, but she can give him a head start if he wants! ]
I'm sure it'll have it's uses. Could fool someone into thinking you are a proper member of society or even use it as a distraction. [ That's what she would use it for. ]
You could also use it to impress certain redheads.

Week 5, Wednesday
Has it really been so long? I'll be there soon.
You know I have a hard time saying no to my cute bunnies.
[ Anyways, she's going to show up without the helmet and looking like fall ]

Prompt as ever.
no subject
they will walk over and stand near the organ to get a view of the keys for when he plays. ]
I was quite excited to see your performance, my dearest. Are you going to play me something from your world?
no subject
[ yeah you're getting church music sorry that's all i got.

[ he smiles when she points at him, ducking his head politely in gratitude to acknowledge the compliment. ]
Truthfully, it's made me a bit nostalgic. I'm quite glad to have this place: it is a marked improvement over the chapel in the gambling hall.
[ it's so much less likely to contain an elvis ]
no subject
I don't know... there's something much more fun about my little chapel. [ She isn't serious about that.
Pressing a couple keys herself to just hear the sound echo through the room. ]
Did you used to play often when you were younger?
no subject
[ not that he uses it much as an inquisitor, but, hey. you help where you can. ]
Though, to be quite honest, I couldn't reach the pedals for most of my childhood. It took until I was older to get that far.
no subject
How cute! Why is it every new thing I learn about you just makes you more adorable? [ She will then tap another key on the organ. ]
What other talents have you been hiding from me, my cheeky bunny?
no subject
Hmm. [ talents ] Thievery. [ liar ] Physical combat. [ liar 2 ] I'm excellent in a bar fight.

I could see it now. The priest who got winded after running a lap being in such great shape.
[ She will do as he says though and hold the note, while pressing down on the pedal. ]
I've used to play string instruments, but that was far too long to remember much of it.
