[Souji's MIA since Sunday morning. He hadn't thought to warn anyone about where he was going, since it wasn't supposed to take this long.

Now, Souji's lying on his back on his futon, on top of the blanket and fully clothed. The device is on the floor to one side, capturing a very boring feed of Souji not moving.

At all.

Then he gasps, the sound strangled, his chest heaving like he's never breathed before. He opens his eyes and stares at the ceiling for a minute before sitting up, moving as though his whole body aches. One hand goes to his head and he sits there, disoriented for several minutes before getting up and walking out of frame.]

I played the whole year I was in Inaba. And some before that.

[action]

[jivitadana]

[Minato nodded, committing it to memory.]

When do you like to play?

[Since he never heard Souji play before.]

[action]

[eatsyourscience]

I haven't in awhile. I meant to go get a trumpet from the vendors, but I keep forgetting to.

[action]

[jivitadana]

I'd like to know when you do.

[action]

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji smiles.]

I'll do it soon.

[action]

[jivitadana]

[If Minato could look a tiny bit excited, then he did.]

Thanks. I might need your help with something about it.

[action]

[eatsyourscience]

What's that?

[action]

[jivitadana]

[Minato made sure that no one else was in the room with them, mirrors notwithstanding.

He smiled a little, looking down into his tea, and then hummed the first few bars of Aria of the Soul.]

[action]

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji blinks.]

You want me to play it?

[action]

[jivitadana]

[Then Souji's heard it before. Perfect.]

Later. I want to write sheet music for it.

[action]

[eatsyourscience]

[A smile.]

Want help?

[action]

[jivitadana]

[Minato nodded.]

Please. Then we can play it together some time.

[action]

[eatsyourscience]

I'd like that.

What do you play?

[action]

[jivitadana]

Violin.

[Minato had been playing for a while, and it reminded him too of Rei.]

[action]

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji smiles.]

Let's play together soon.

[action]

[jivitadana]

I'd like that too. [Minato had to practice more then!]

[action]

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji drinks more tea, pleased for several reasons.]

[action]

[jivitadana]

[Minato also drank a little more tea, content at the moment with where they were with everything. There was time another day in the future to talk more about those things if they had to.]
