Kieru wandered around the school, deep in thought, coming to an empty room near a corner. She noticed the door opened and walked inside. She saw no one there, so she carefully closed the door behind herself and went over to a large piano. She sat on the chair and pressed a note down. She turned away from it and stared at the other instruments around the room until she spotted one she recognized.
A small flute rested on a shelf against the wall. She remembered playing a flute that looked similar when she was younger. Kieru stood up and walked over to it, picking the flute up off the wall and turning it over a couple times in her hands to examine it. 'Very similar...' She thought to herself and took it over to the small area of the room that was lifted slightly like a small stage.
She sat at the edge and stared out around the room once more as if making sure she was alone. She closed her eyes as she lifted the flute up to her lips, taking in a deep breath and began to play a few notes.
She stopped immediately after playing about five notes as she heard the door open and stood up, hiding the flute behind her back. She watched the person who entered with a straight, almost defensive face, wondering why someone had to enter and break her moment of solitude.

Eralk slowly opened a large door "Wooooow, this school is indeed awesome..." he breathed as he walked inside and let his eyes fly over all the diffrent kinds of instruments. "This must be the music classroom I suppose. I definatly have to apply to that subject when I am able to create my schedule".
As he was talking to himself he slowly entered the room. His footsteps echoed through the room and his armor made the regular sound of two steel plates hitting each other. He was turning around himself more than once to get sight of the whole room. But he didn`t notice that somebody already sat in there.
"Oh! A Piano!!" he suddenly let out in joy as he saw the big black grand piano. He dashed towards it and hopped on the seat tossing his read cape behind his shoulder. "Well well... I would prefer an organ but this should do it too..." he whisperd as he stroke over the keys and prepared to play.

Kieru held a straight, guarded face as she watched this strange boy enter and run over to the piano. She cleared her throat lightly, still hiding the flute behind her back. She stepped off to the side, intending to sneak out if her clearing her throat didn't give her away.

Eralk wasn`t aware of his surroundings. His whole attention was focused on the piano. "Well.. lets see..." He slowly touched a few notes and rested his fingers on the keys. He closed his eyes enjoying the moment to the fullest and then starts to play a harmonic melody that slowly filled the room.( www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBMvG1jdroU&feature=channel_page )

Kieru stopped near the wall as she heard the tune. She knew this song. Somewhere in her past, she had known this song. It was a tune that a group had brought back from another country and taught all the young ones to play on their flutes. Kieru was taken aback for a moment by the memory, her face completely dazed as she slowly brought the flute up to her lips.
She closed her eyes and listened to the song, coming in with the piano on her flute about halfway in and playing through til the end.

Eralk twitched slightly and opened his eyes to gaze through the room to find the source of the flute which fits perfectly into his playing. Even though he was skilled with the piano he played a few wrong keys at the time while he noticed that there is someone else playing with him. But he managed to catch up quickly again. Then he saw a girl with red hair standing at the wall close to the door.
Did she just enter?... Whatever... fact is that shes playing wonderful..
So Eralk turned back to the piano again, closed his eyes and played the song until the end.
After finishing he quickly turned around and stood up "Hey you!"he greeted with a cheering tone as he walked to the edge of the stage where the piano stood. "You did a nice job there, who are you?"

After the song ended, Kieru let her arms hand loose at her sides again, holding the flute carefully in one still. "My name is Kieru. Yours?" She spoke in a voice void of emotion, her face blank as she watched this boy. She silently cursed herself for joining in and causing him to notice her.

Eralk sat down on the edge of the stage. "My name is Eralk" he said cheerfully and gestured with his hand to offer Kieru a seat next to him. "Where did you learn to play this melody?" he asked curious.

Kieru remained standing where she was, ignoring his gesture to take a seat. "People from my village would travel to many countries and villages, bringing things such as this melody back to us." She said simply, her voice and face still void of emotion. She wondered for a second why she even bothered to answer him.

Eralk was kinda confused that Kieru refused to come any closer "Ah... I see..." he replied not sure how to break the silence. "About what diffrent things are you talking ? And where is this village of yours?"

Kieru silently watched this person with an emotionless stare. "Various things, such as music and stories and artifacts." She said in her still voice, not wanting to speak of where her village had been.

"Sounds nice" Eralk replied obviously not noticing that Kieru doesn`t seem to like where this conversation is going to. "Can you play another song for me ?" he asked with a bright smile.

Kieru watched this person blankly. She had no intention of playing for this person. She didn't even know why she joined him the last time. "I'm sorry, but I wont." She said, trying to be polite in turning his request down.
She then glanced away for a moment as thoughts of her village rules came into her mind. A small request like this wasn't much of a big deal was it? She let out a small breath and looked back at the boy. Even though it was a small request, she should still honour it. "... Okay...." She said after a moment of hesitation.
She closed her eyes a moment to compose herself as she lifted the flute to her lips again. A small trilling sound came out before moving onto an upbeat but delicate piece that sounded like a duet between flitting love birds.

"Ha? You won`t?" Eralk repeated excited as Kieru denied his request. "But.. I mean..." he stuttered and thought of a way how to convince her to play. Being busy with thinking he didn`t even realize how Kieru was fighting with herself to agree with the law of her village or not.
But after she agreed Eralk let out a happy "YAY!" and perked up his ears to listen to her.
As Eralk listened to the melody his eyes went all dreamy and he stared at Kieru like some freak. But soon he caught himself again. Listened to the music and tried to think up a music sheet for the song in his head that could add a nice melody to the song. Then he asked slowly with a smile after Kieru played a while "Do you want me to join in ?"

Kieru paused a moment. "If you want." She said, not wanting to continue. She held a straight look on her face, not terribly happy as she took another deep breath, closing her eyes and continued to play.
