[For Elliot, it's all too easy to get lost in the joy of the performance. From the moment the first string is plucked, he's in his own little world where only the music matters. It's a blissful world for him, and there's a smile on his face. One that only grows brighter as Jusis joins in with his singing.

Maybe Jusis is rusty, but to Elliot he has a beautiful singing voice. And honestly, the only thing better than performing music is performing it with a loved one. Jusis's singing and his violin combine to make a sound that no one else could ever hope to replicate- just like what happened when you play with any duo.

It's definitely had to been Jusis to call it quits first, because Elliot was more than willing to keep going. But he won't push the other when he signals for a break. Instead he lowers his violin and smiles up at Jusis. ]

Hehe, aww! I'd have to say the same about your singing. We had a couple mistakes here and there, but overall I think we really nailed that one out of the park.

[Yeah that's right, in the bright spirits in mind, the perfectionist is mindful on ways to improve. It's just how he is.

When Jusis mentions the glaze lilies, he'll cheerfully turn to them and give them a bow, like he would after performing for a human audience. It's only then does he'll go to retrieve the tea that Jusis brewed]

I think they did too! I mean, they certainly seem brighter than they were before. They're a bit quieter than my usual audience, but I enjoyed giving them a show!

[Though Jusis may not admit it out loud, in his heart he'll concede that this duet they performed truly lifted his spirits. It's given him far more catharsis than singing alone to the lilies in the courtyard. However, that feeling is tainted with a bit of guilt. A small voice in the back of his mind that wonders....

No, that's a thought that's going to have to wait. With how intrusive such thoughts have been lately, perhaps Jusis will more seriously look into booking an appointment with a therapist. If nothing else, it'll be nice to just... talk to someone without feeling too guilty or ashamed about it.

Elliot's bright smile is met with a smaller, though no less cheerful, one from Jusis.]

I'm inclined to agree, especially with the little preparation I gave you. [He hands his friend a second thermos of tea.] I'd almost forgotten how much I enjoyed singing with someone else.

[Though, in fairness, there's only a handful of people Jusis will feel that with. When he sees the redhead bow graciously to the lilies, it sparks a certain fondness in his heart. Maybe it's seen in his eyes.]

Quieter, but no less attentive. [The blond hesitates slightly.] Did you enjoy yourself?
