[dothelokimotion]

Mm.

I'm glad you're thinking of broadening your horizons.

[unkindled_madness]

I do like to try new things.

Even if I decide I don't enjoy them... it will be an informed decision.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he's come so far. but loki always knew he would. even on the islands, he could see that. loki had wondered, even then, if sephiroth would simply outgrow him as well. but they were still here. despite being shifted to a new realm, despite the memory loss.

undying fidelity. ]

What other new things you'd like to try?

[unkindled_madness]

...learning an instrument, perhaps.

[dothelokimotion]

Do you have one in mind?

[unkindled_madness]

I'm not certain what's best, as a beginner.

[dothelokimotion]

Hmm. Perhaps a string or wind instrument.

[unkindled_madness]

You play one, don't you?

[dothelokimotion]

I did. I must be rusty by now.

[unkindled_madness]

Perhaps we might learn together. Refresh your memory.

[dothelokimotion]

I do like that idea. It feels less stressful too, I should think. To face the pitfalls once more.

[unkindled_madness]

Did you find it stressful before?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he hums. ]

Like most skills, I wanted to be good at it.

[ a pause. ]

No, I needed to be good at it. The best. If I was the best at everything I put my mind to . . .

[ loki lets himself trail off before shaking his head. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth reaches for his hand.]

...but, you've already won me over. If you're a terrible musician, I won't think any less of you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki huffs, even as he reaches back, twining their fingers together. ]

Are you sure? Music can make or break a relationship.

[unkindled_madness]

Can it? I'm having trouble imagining that scenario.

[dothelokimotion]

Maybe when you've heard it for yourself.

[unkindled_madness]

I believe they make such things as earplugs, if you're really that bad.

But I suspect you're exaggerating.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles. ]

I probably am. I wasn't all that bad. Just not particularly creative.

[unkindled_madness]

I'm not expecting you to compose anything.

[dothelokimotion]

[ another huff as loki rubs his neck. ]

I was considering it. For Yule. We wanted to make our own traditions so I was dwelling on it.

[unkindled_madness]

[...oh. Sephiroth's expression softens.]

There will be many more years, if you'd like to try it.

[dothelokimotion]

[ many years. his fingers tighten for a moment, a waver in his posture. ]

I think I could do it.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth notices, but he isn't sure of the reason for that reaction.]

You just need to shake off the rust, first.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. And hope my memory takes me back.
