. . . no???

[does. does he want to ask]

[no he does not]

That's beyond the point, though.

[beatmatching]

[ stares at him. ]

It's not. The show could afford it after sending me and Serpilia to that Bell of Taco earlier.

[ordimame]

[BELL. . . OF. . . TACO. . .]

It's not a matter of being able to afford it! It's just a matter of treating fragile things with care, you know?

[beatmatching]

[ --> treating fragile things with care

that sure is something he learned during his life! (it absolutely is Not). ]

Pick something before I change my mind.

[ordimame]

[giving him one last Look (TM) before the record skips ahead to. . . this]

Oh-- how about this one?

[beatmatching]

[ he closes his eyes and listens. ]

...since we can't bring back paper, I'll need to listen to it twice. [ so he can commit it to memory. ]

[ordimame]

[a smile and a nod, and once the song ends, he pulls the record needle back a bit to play it again]

[beatmatching]

[ luka's entirely silent this time, moving his blue tipped fingers along to the rhythm of the song. it's far from the most complicated piece he's played or the longest, so he's confident that he can play it from memory perfectly by the end of the week. ]

[ordimame]

[and Edamura just watches as Luka moves, keeping his gaze trained on the way those fingers glide across invisible strings. it's a little mesmerizing. . . and very impressive]

[when the song eventually ends. . .]

. . . I can't wait to hear you actually play.

[beatmatching]

[ luka is of course, smug when he finishes. ]

It'll be the show of a lifetime.

[ordimame]

[in ALL GENUINE HONESTY]

I know it will!
