( from here )

Have you ever tried to perform music yourself? Some people find that relaxing, too.

[She suspects what he finds relaxing is going to be something of a journey. Oh well, she hopes that it'll maybe be helpful in the end.]

[ He tenses at the question. Has he thought about it? Yea, he has. Often. Too much. It is actually his wish, his dream. To play and dance and to not lift a spear unless necessary. To be a person and not a thing. A weapon himself. ]

I… Have not, no.

[ Not where others can hear. ]

It might be worth trying, at least once. It's a different way to express yourself, if you ever have trouble with words.

[Kind of the vibe she gets from him, no offense.]

[ He considers this. More often than not, people here seem to think that he needs to take a step back. Relax. Meet people. Expressing himself any other way other than at the tip of his spear... ]

Trying... However that leaves the question of where to even begin. I know nothing of composing music.

You could play music that already exists, as a start. The rest might happen over time.

[ Oh. Oh that thought hadn't occurred to him. Playing music that already exists. That seems like such a simple solution. ]

Then someone who would need to teach me to read it.

I'm sure you could find someone to teach you, if you asked. Unfortunately I can't help with that one myself.

[She pauses for thought.]

I do know someone who reads music, though. I can at least ask him if he'd be willing to help.

I might ask, yes. There should, theoretically, be some individuals here that possess such talents.

[ Venti is always an option. However Xiao isn't quite sure that he wants to go quite that far. ]

Who is it that you know?

His name is Dohalim. He's from my world, and I know he plays the violin. He's looking to get back into music himself.

[Who knows, maybe it'll help both of them.]

[ That isn't the instrument that Xiao is familiar with, but the basics should be the same, right? A score is a score. ]

I would not mind meeting him, then, if the opportunity arose.

If I happen to see you around when we're nearby, I'll introduce you.

I... Would greatly appreciate it.

[ Well he wouldn't have thought that he would be getting another little push. But it is a little hard to deny, when so many are encouraging him to branch out. ]

Thank you.

[ Said only a little awkwardly! ]

You're very welcome.

[She believes in you, buddy. Go find your musical gift.]
