"Intelligent?" F's eyes seemed to brighten at this statement and a click noise originated from somewhere between those tongues of his. "Oh, you." the flea said in a very camp manner, even accompanied by a hand flop, as if he had been complimented generously by a doting male. He then snorted lazily.
F grinned somewhat sheepishly as Miller snickered at him. The flea-man knew he sounded rather stupid a lot of the time, but since most people seemed to understand it wasn't his fault, he didn't see any point in being down about it.
"Rock?" he repeated after a pause. "Prob'ly not like wha' you're used to." F's musical tastes weren't exactly ahead of the times. Even so, his strumming slowly became more uptempo and powerful, as non-specifically rock-like as he could manage on his acoustic. Helpfully, F had recently discovered that his hardened skin had proven perfect for a more vigorous playing style.
Still, he looked over to the kid uncertainly as he played.

"Well last I checked fleas don't play guitar and hold conversations about twisted experiments and rock and roll on an island. And since you claim to be becoming a flea that would make you the worlds most intelligent flea no?"
"Try me, I was raised on rock before my time, old school Chilly Peppers, Rolling Stones, Meatloaf, all of that stuff." For Miller music was simply something to enjoy he never bothered to learn an instrument or properly sing, so to him acoustic or not if it was of a rock song he simply called it rock.
He had no complaints to F's playing though, it was nice to hear something different from what he had on his ipod, lacking a computer and the internet made finding more music a bit of a problem on the island.

"Well, I like vat title." F stated simply with a grin. It Was a rather strange existance they'd been shoved into, but at least for F, -most of the time- it seemed to work.
"I wath never one for Meatloaf." he announced casually, eyeing his guitar as Miller spoke. Shortly after the lad mentioned the Rolling Stones however, the intro to Jumping Jack Flash leaked its way from his fingers, and the tune slowly gained more confidence as it lead into the main guitar riff.
"You play anyfing?" F nodded to the lad before wincing at a wrong note. He hadn't played that in a while.

Miller chuckled at the odd way the flea man grinned, he couldn't begin to explain how it he could tell he was smiling but some how the bug like face seemed to be an endless mess of amuseing emotions.
"I only liked a few of his songs, still it's one of those things thats stuck with me since I was little." He hummed along as F started to play finally picking up on something familure comeing from the guitar.
"Me? I don't play anything, some one has to enjoy the music rather then make it don't they?" He grinned, "Fingers are almost too long for a guitar, friend recommended piano, didn't like it that much so, never bothered to try again."

F nodded along as the lad spoke.
"I knew vis kid once.." he began once Miller had explained about his musical endeavors. "Complete doormat otherwithe, but 'e played thome bloody fine jazz piano. Thelf-taught -only been learnin' two yearth as well- but hith improv. wath theriouthly inthpiring."
F stuck his tongue(s) out, and added that whole sentence to his own mental list of vetoed words.
"Whad about thinging?" he asked with a head tilt as he registered Miller's humming, continuing to strum.

Milled nodded quietly listening to F's short story, all he really picked up was something sounding like a door mat and being a jazz piano.
Though he was taken back at the comment about his humming. "I never considered humming making music really, it's as close as I get to singing really." He shrugged and started humming again. He never thought much about what classified as making music but it seemed it was more broad then he thought.

The tune emanating from his guitar seemed to have evolved into Santana's 'Black Magic Woman'.
F grinned and shook his head as it seemed Miller hadn't really caught what he'd said. Oh well. Wasn't much of a story anyway.
"My thing- Thsing-." he attempted to correct, making an effort to force more of an 's' sound out. "My thsinging ain't whad it used to be. So I won' impose vat on you now." he said with a lop-sided grin.
F's strange new gurgling, accent-tainted, lisp-ridden voice made for an interesting new style of singing, if you could call it that.
"If y' ever do want to 'ear, I usually play down on vuh beach. In fact-" he paused his playing to look over his shoulder. "-I fink I'll 'ead down vere now." he announced, hopping to stand.

Miller grinned, shakeing his head finding F's dialect getting a bit more confuseing, still it was unique in a way he never knew before. He couldn't even begin to place where it was from.
"Beach huh?" He stood up as well stretching, "I think I might head down there as well latter, or now, don't know really. Not allot to do around here other then the entertainment room and wandering about it seems."

"Well, feel free t' join me if you want. I wath jus' gonna sit and play. Maybe build a thandcastle or two." he gave a slight snort of a laugh.
"If not, I'm in duplex er.. Fifty Five." he concluded. F always had to think on that one. "-If you're ever bored enough to want t' visit the world'th most intelligent flea." he beamed, and held up his hands (one occupied by his guitar) to wait and see what Miller wanted to do.

Miller shrugged, "Beats sitting around in a tiny little duplex waiting for something to happen." He hoped off the bench motioning for F to lead the way.
"Duplex 77 should the worlds smartest flea wish to visit, and so lead on because I have no clue where this beach is right now."
