Welcome to Gaia! ::

Her cheeks warmed as the Matori grinned at her, "I suppose so." She finally managed though she couldn't stare the woman straight in the face, "I honestly wasn't expecting anything quite like that." Parisa confessed with pursed lips. Did the woman want her to play next? After a song like that? No pressure, right? Hahahaha. Closing her eyes for a moment the lightning girl took a deep breath, "Is it normal for so much emotion to be in every song like that? It was very pretty, but very depressing at the same time."

Not that she minded depressing music, mind you, but Parisa simply hadn't been expecting it from the perky woman. Instead she had figured the Matori would fancy a jig or some sort of dancing tune rather than a soulful ballad. The mainlanders are full of surprises it seems. That much she was learning at least. Self-consciously Parisa's fingers clutched at her own instrument case. Was it even worth playing for the Matori woman? What if she disliked it to the point that Parisa shamed Belreans everywhere? Just the thought made her stomach twist into several knots of apprehension.

Listening to the musician Parisa slowly nodded, "Wise." She replied quietly, "I never really thought about how to evolve my music save for doing the technical details over and over. What you played though has so much soul to it that I feel my own instrument will be lacking...." Here she slowly unlatched her case and brought out the stringed instrument, "Are you sure you'll be okay listening?" She asked hesitantly, "And you promise you'll teach me, Miss?"

For once a rare form of respect left her lips. While Parisa had wanted to try to keep her head high and be vain about things hearing that melody had ripped her heart in a way that she had almost forgotten about. It had been like listening to something her mother would have once played and Parisa was willing to do anything to learn how to do the same from this mysterious woman.

"Fine." Parisa actually found a real smile spreading across her features. This Nadiya was definitely stubborn about things, wasn't she? Still the lightning girl flexed her fingers before taking out her instrument fully, "My name's Parisa by the way." She strummed a few notes lightly before shifting the instrument in her lap.


"Let's see....how about this song?" She closed her eyes thoughtfully for a moment before allowing her fingers to start moving once more across the strings. She just hoped that the Matori wouldn't be too harsh and that they could indeed learn music from each other. Parisa smiled as she focused on her music and let her worries fade away. Things would be fine, they always were after all and this would definitely be a fun evening for the both of them. She would make certain of it.
