Kyeo is running his hand up and down Sarham's back, as though counting scars he can't feel, and then there is something, in the room, something enormous, and he sees his own face and Sarham's mirrored in an incoming oval and then -
- they aren't sitting on Kyeo's bed in Crane Mountain any more.
He plucks some strings, pats a drum. Bonks the xylophone-thing and seems to like that one.
"I don't know what scales you're used to; this is on the default tuning but there are noteplates we can swap out if you prefer."
He seems happy to bonk the xylophone in its current tuning. He attempts to sound out some songs he knows.
It has 24 notes in an octave and isn't arranged very intuitively but everything he needs is technically there.
Colley goes around to the other side of the instrument and bonks it out upside-down. After a few rounds she picks up another set of mallets, two in each hand, and adds in a third line.
"I need this one here but I'll commission you another if you want it. Did you want to try and see whether you like any of the other instruments more?"
He will try other things. His breathing issue seems to affect him playing wind instruments, but he likes the cello-ish thing.
He receives an extremely tiny bonk for his trouble.
"Well I'll order you one and you can hang out here and play this one until it's finished."
Colley is perfectly happy to participate in a jam sesh, on the other side of the setrekbort and on one of the drums and on something mandolin-ish and on a reed instrument that sounds a bit like a loon, for as long as Kyeo seems to want to.
Eventually he's going to remember that Sarham is probably waiting for him and winds down.
"I don't know what Zar has you doing but as far as I'm concerned you can come over any time I expect you to be awake tomorrow. After that I'm busier but I think Dira's free; we'll work something out."
Colley offers him the papers and pencil from before. "Any commentary?"
I appreciate this very much!
Sarham may be wondering how long I will be here.
"Sure, would you like an escort back to Zar's office? Or your apartment?"
"Sure, I just need to pick something up on our way out - " She ducks into one of the hallway's other rooms and upon her exit hands Kyeo something approximately resembling a kalimba.
