The Torn (Open and accepting)

[Snapel]

Steven turned to face the person that had spoken from the door way. "Oh hey, yeah, just practising though" he said and gestured to the violin in his hand.

Sveimun didn't say anything and just sat down on a chair. He opened the case to his violin, he pulled it out and set it in his lap.

[vega.]

- Whoops, meant Jodie cx my corny gets so confusing on mobile

[size=85]I nodded and stepped inside the room for a moment, glancing around at the several chairs and the piano and the empty desk where the teacher would be? "Huh, interesting. I used to play violin, back in middle school. Who's this?" I said, looking towards Sveimun curiously. I wondered if he'd been here before, and I just didn't notice.

[Snapel]

Steven looked at Sveimun then realised tht they'd never been intoduced. "This is my cousin Sveimun or Svei for short, Svei this is Jodie" he said politely introducing them.

Sveimun nodded his head slightly in greeting.

Steven looked at Jodie and said "forgive him he doesn't speak much".

(That's ok I knew what you meant)

[vega.]

- yea XP

I gave shrug, "I don't mind, it's nice to meet you Svei." I said with a grin. I was used to being around different kinds of people, including people like Sveimun, "Do you two practice together, like a duet?" I asked, sitting down in a nearby chair and folding my arms loosely.

[Snapel]

Steven nodded, "yes we do most of the time" he said with a smile, "Svei and I have been learning some covers of songs recently and just want to make sure we know them off by heart before moving on to learn something else"

[vega.]

"Are you guys going to enter the music competition at the end of the semester?" I asked. They seemed like they would do very well, even though I haven't seen them play yet, "It's open to everyone, and if you win the one in school, you get to go to a real auditorium in the city where the national competition is held." I explained.

[Snapel]

Steven
"We might enter but we haven't given it much thought really" he said but now she had gotten him thinking about the competition.

[vega.]

i leaned back in my chain, crossing my legs with a skeptical look over my grin, "Well, mind if I hear you guys play? It'd be beneficial to have a second opinion to help you decide wether or not your going to join. But, even either way, I still hunk you should give it a go." I suggested.

[Snapel]

Steven
"Sure that sounds like a good plan, is it ok with you Svei?" He asked his cousin.

Sveimun stood from his chair with violin in hand, "sure, shall we play number 2?" He suggested

Steven
"That's the best one" he agreed as Sveimun walked over and stood beside him. They both lifted their violins to rest beneath their chins and started to play at the same time.

(The song they are referring to is a cover of the song 'When I was your man' by Bruno Mars, I can get a link if you want)

[vega.]

- it's cool, I actually think I heard a cover by Jun Ahn Sung before.

i listened quietly as they began, and to be honest with myself, I haven't heard such a great duet since I had gone to a professional arts competition. I heard all my opponents and all my friends compete at a high level. I was one of them, actually, so I knew what I was listening to. How they played; it reminded me of my old career, not as a violinist, but a pianist. I was really god, and now I missed hearing others play and collaborating covers for songs with others. Then I remembered why I stopped and all this distant memories crashed like an old mirror. Then I realized that they had stopped playing a while ago and gave a nervous laugh, "Hah, sorry, kindle lost myself there. You two make the Percocet duo, in my unbiased opinion. I think out of majority of people in this school, you have a great chance in impressing many people. You sure impressed me." I praised.
