Seven Zephers

[as you flip through, there's suddenly a messy stroke of really wet ink on the page of the journal, then the sound of someone picking it up and shaking it a little, making the ink run]

...Whoops. Maybe I shouldn't practice on the desk.

[and then he stupidly rubs it in hopes of getting it to dry faster, smearing ink all over the place]

Well... I don't really know! It just... doesn't feel right.

[siebter]

Hehe, that's okay. For now, you can just keep practicing!

[soccerwhisperer]

Yeah!

Do you know any more songs?

[siebter]

I don't know how easy they are, but I know other songs.

[soccerwhisperer]

I'd like to hear them!

[siebter]

[ The one he plays next is a bit slower. For reference. ]

[soccerwhisperer]

That was pretty... but also sounded a little sad.

[siebter]

I wrote it myself.

[soccerwhisperer]

Wow, really!? That's so cool!

[siebter]

Thanks! I had a lot of time to do that sort of thing before I came here...

[soccerwhisperer]

Oh... Was it lonely?

[siebter]

Sometimes...

[soccerwhisperer]

I know how that feels. I only really had Aoi as a friend, and she has closer friends than me, so we didn't really get to play a lot..

[siebter]

That's too bad...I hope you'll get to spend more time with her when you go back!

[soccerwhisperer]

Me too... Hey! Maybe I can convince her to join the music club with me. She's really good at singing even though she says that she's not.

[siebter]

Yeah, that'd be a good idea!

[soccerwhisperer]

...Thanks, Emil. I know I kept talking about myself, but if you ever need to get something off your chest, you can talk to me, okay? You don't have to be lonely here.

[siebter]

Hehe, thanks! I'm glad to have good friends like you here.

[soccerwhisperer]

Me too.
