You sure? [ He kind of likes teasing her still. ]

It probably wouldn't be hard to make a trade for new ones... But these are Connell's; I wouldn't want to lose them.

[ He watches her go through them and stops at one. ]

I tried this one before.

[ I know! Not leaving any souls for its bearers. ]

Absolutely. [And maaaybe she doesn't mind~]

Yeah...You should keep these ones.

[She looks over the one he points out, curious as she reads the music.]

Hmm...This one looks pretty good. You wanna compare?

[Huff, really. It's so greedy!]

I'll hold in any comments I have, then. [ :3c

He nods. ] He might come back sometime...

Yeah--after you. [ Not even bothering to hide how eager he is to hear her. ]

[ More than any other rune! This is how it got nicknamed 'soul eater'! ]

You shouldn't have any comments! [Huff! Unless it's praise.]

Yeah...He came back once already.

[Maybe he will again. And now, she blushes just a little bit, but she's not going to back down, picking up the music and reading it over first. And then she starts singing--not perfectly; she gets occasionally off-key and some of the lyric pronunciation is foreign to her, but it's not unpleasant.]

[Because it could never ever stop!]

That doesn't mean I won't have any. [ He'd like to praise her, too. ]

Exactly... [ His voice is pretty fond when he says that. Little brother Connell...

He looks at her expectantly. It wasn't perfect - and Tyr can be picky - but since she hasn't ever heard the song before, he thinks it's really nice. A little smile comes across Tyr's face despite the sad lyrics. ] That wasn't bad.

[ It can't! It just wants more and more and more! ]

Hmph! Suit yourself. [Huff huff. She isn't really bothered, though.

Even Rita really liked Connell from the beginning. He was...sweet.

She feels mildly self-conscious with him watching her, but not overly so. After she finishes, she blinks at his comment.] Just "not bad"?

[It can't say no!!]

[ He hopes she isn't. He doesn't want to offend her...

Connell was hard to dislike.

His smile grows wider in amusement. ] It was the nicest I've heard it sung in ages.

[ It refuses to even if it can! ]

[And she isn't! It's kind of nice to try singing for him.

Connell...;_;

That makes her mouth quirk into a slight smirk.] Because you've only listened to yourself?

[It's the worst!!]

[ He really likes hearing her sing, too!

Connell ;~; ]

Exactly. [ He laughs a little and moves to take the sheet from her. ] If you had to hear me sing all the time, anyone would sound amazing.

[ And quickly adds- ] But you really are pretty good. [ She just needs more practice. ]

[ It is! For everyone. ;~; ]

[Good! She's never done it for anyone else.///

;o;

She almost looks like she wants to act indignant, but she laughs.] So no other comments?

[Nobody wants to be around it. :<]

[ //// So many things they only do together~

He smirks, then just says- ] You could use some more practice with it.

[ That's why its bearers are all so unpopular wherever they go... ]

[Kyaa, that's right~ Just the two of them~

It takes her a second--and then she blushes and huffs at him.] I-it was the first time I sang that one!

[Sob, yes...Hated by association.]

[ Singing~!

Okay, he might laugh a little like that. ] That's exactly why you need to do it more. I want to hear you more.

[ Unfortunately... ;_; Always aloooone. ]

[Singing and dancing~!

Huff huff. But she can only act so tsun when she's also happy that he wants to hear more.] Don't think you've heard the last of it. But you have to sing for me now, remember?

[Except for the dead souls....;o;]

[ And making stuff!

So cruel of Tyr, really. ] You sure you don't wanna try another song?

[ Th-those don't count. ]

[And learning magic!

Huff, so much.] Nope. You first.

[Forever alone...]

[ Lots of learning! :3 ]

All right, all right. [ He straightens out the sheet in front of him. ] So this one?

[ Forever and ever... ;~; No friiiiends. ]

[Of all sorts of things! :D]

[And now she smiles.] That one. Let's hear it.

[The Soul EAter eats them all...!]

[ Yes! :D Tyr really wants to know everything now~ ;v; ]

Okay... [ His smile turns a little more shy as he looks over the music again. He's not one to get performance anxiety, but this is pretty weird. He takes a deep breath and starts singing, pronouncing all the words clearly and strongly with as little pitch variation as possible. In fact, it's sort of like he's reciting it to a beat.

He did say he wasn't good. ]

[ Th-that is the maaain problem... /)_(\ ]

[Eee, they can learn together~! ;3;]

[...Oh, Tyr. She loves him, but she really can't help the expression on her face that's half-disbelief and half-amusement. At least he's helping her figure out the pronunciation...right?]

[S-sob, the worst...;o;]

[ That's the only way he really wants to learn...//// ]

[ That's...totally what he's doing. He's helping her learn how to say the words here. He can't be anything but bashful when he turns back to look at her, though. ]

Want another one? [ Or will she just laugh at him then... ]

[ Absolute worse. ;_; Soul Eater... ]

[The best way.///]

[Yes. Totally. Rita's speechless for a second, feeling a little guilty immediately after she blurts out-] I think you could use the practice.

[So horrible, Soul Eater. ._.]

[ It is to him!! :3 ]

[ He doesn't feel too hurt by it. He just flops back onto the couch and passes the sheet of music back to her. ] I should have taken Connell's offer when he asked if I wanted lessons...

[ It is! It's so mean to everyone! A mean glutton! ]

[Good! X3]

[She takes the sheet, watching him.] Hey--do you...want the stuff I bought? There's the book and the CD.

[Greedy and selfish! Nobody likes it! :<]

[ \o/ ]

[ He shakes his head, smiling more confidently. ] Nah, I just wanted to hear you sing. I don't really care to learn unless you want me to.

[ Even if it were a person!! ]
