[Considering it's her first lesson, Elliot's still impressed. Maybe there was a lack of feeling, but her technique for a beginner was impressive. And honestly, even that lack of emotion part wasn't too different than when he taught the android Connor. Emotional expression comes easier for others.

At least this issue was easier on his ears than the other way around. He loves you Sora and how much feeling you bring to the lessons, but oh goddess...his ears.

So near the end of her lesson, he'll still praise her]

You did really well Mikasa! Especially for your first time!

[She lets the instrument rest, lowing her hands.]

I'm just copying... [That was it. If she had to create something by scratch then she'd be screwed. The control and timing were just things that had been drilled into her. Those were needed to survive.]

[fiddlestick]

Which is pretty good for your first day, all things considered.

[Honestly he's not expecting anyone to compose anything on their first day of lessons. That's usually taught to the advanced students.]

Did you enjoy playing?

[stopfen]

[There's still a complete lack of enthusiasm as she shrugs.]

No.

[...Well then. Even she seems to realise how blunt that is.]

...I didn't dislike it.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, well that's a good start!

[He smiles at her]

Lemme guess, you're not used to doing things that aren't just for survival.

[stopfen]

[The smile isn't returned. But he does get a snort.]

Is it that obvious?

[fiddlestick]

Haha...Juuust a little.

I've run into types like you before.

[stopfen]

...What does that mean?

[She's not insulted at the 'types' thing, just confused.]

[fiddlestick]

[He gives a small, reassuring smile.]

It means you're not the lost cause you seem to think you are. And not just in music.

[stopfen]

[It does get a sigh. And her head slumps lightly.]

It's not that. I know what I'm good at, and what I was made for...It's strange doing other things.

[It wasn't great when people kept saying you could do more than fight, when that really was the only thing she was truly skilled at.]
