Welcome to Gaia! ::

(((OOC: Hehehe, I usually don't even look for them to be honest. In other people's posts that is. I like mine being pointed out, as previously said, simply because I can be a perfectionist at typing sometimes. But then again... like right now, as I'm typing this, I'm actually watching the tv and not looking at what I'm doing. Kinda distracted by Pawn Stars.... so see, I shouldn't be that distracted when typing! I should be totally focused! Pawn Stars is just too dang distracting for me, hehehe. Earlier it was Ninja Warrior...)))

"Are you sure?" Eduard asked, turning to the actor.
He leaned back against the counter, bent slightly at the waist, with one leg crossed over the other. For a moment, he studied Peter, as if wondering if the man had someone in mind.
"And it can be anyone, you know. I hardly mind." the Marquess smiled gently, "It is a party after all... so it should be spent in the company of good people."
In other words... Sebastian had been asked to keep Rutherford completely off the list.
That would show him...

Smiling, Eduard nodded, "He was first on my guest list." the Marquess spoke, pushing off the counter with one boot and standing, arms still folded over his chest. "If you're sure that you don't wish to invite anyone else, then I'll simply let Sebastian know about the dark chocolate. In the meantime..." Eduard pushed some of his long hair back over one shoulder. "We have some music lessons, do we not?"



(((Naw, it's cool. I don't think his character is changing too fast. To be honest, I felt that I might be changing Eduard too quickly as well. Gomen!. As for typos... HAI! *salutes* I shall when I see them... or rather, when my brain registers them...)))

(((OOC: Well, that just means we both must really love our characters, hehe.)))

"We're going to trip." Eduard laughed softly as he was pulled behind Peter at a break-neck pace through the mansion.
Finally entering the music room, a room where the windows were open to let in the fresh morning sunshine, the Marquess couldn't help but smile at how warm and inviting the room seemed.
"Your eagerness, Peter... is rather adorable." Eduard spoke with a smile as he moved to a cabinet which held some old books for beginner pianists.
It would, at least, help teach the notes...

Turning back to Peter, the Marquess shook his head. "No no, you need to sit at the piano, Peter. Seeing the note in the book, and then pressing the proper key, will help ingrain it into your memory." the man smiled.
He brought over a rather old book, opening it and setting the incredibly simple sheet music at the piano.
"I'll sit beside you or stand, whichever you prefer, and help point out the notes."

Eduard smiled softly, sitting next to Peter. "You learn from sound, right?" he asked, placing his hands on the piano and playing the simple piece.
Once he was finished, the Marquess looked to the actor at his side. "Now. Do you think you can mimic what I just did? Can you play the same notes?"

"You did a fine job for having heard it only once." Eduard replied, placing Peter's hands on the piano in the position of middle c, before putting his own fingers further down the ivory keys in a similar position.
"Now, I will play one note at a time and I want your hands to mock my own, alright?"
He began, going slowly, since the young actor was supposed to copy his every move.

Laughing softly, Eduard smiled, "I'll take that all as a compliment." the Marquess replied, continuing his teaching method.
Eventually he began to give names to the notes, figuring that teaching Peter about sharps and flats at this point would be ridiculous, and simply stuck with the common beginner A-G keys.
He pointed out how Peter's thumb rested on C, and how the letters of the notes went backwards from the left of his thumb, and forward from the right. Of course he told Peter to ignore the dark smaller keys and the foot pedals for now.



(((Doesn't matter to me either. We can kill time with this or skip to afternoon tea maybe? What do you have in mind?)))
