Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I don't know, we have never been very good at communication." He shrugged, then turned back to the instrument. "That you could. Unfortunately, there is no instruction guide, so its all trial and error. It is a very random instrument, you have to have a feel for it." He looked at it, and then turned back to Alanna. "Would you like to borrow it? I could give you the basics in safety, and then you could work on it at your own pace."

"I don't know, I'm not entirely sure where he is..." Senstren paused. Not knowingwhere his brother was concerned him very much. "Anyway, yeah, just try not to blow up the house...any more than I have done." He moved next to Alanna, and put the instrument in her lap. "You hold the autoharp against your chest like this, hold the buttons with your left hand, and strum the strings with your right."

Senstren glanced at the ceiling. "Ummm...just give me tthat for a moment...." He quickly took the instrument and played a few chords. The wind picked up, and the storm clouds were blown away over the cliff face. He gave the autoharp back to Alanna and hurried upstairs. After a few curses, and a blast of magic wind, he came back down. "Um... well, the rest of the second floor is missing...I think it's time I make a more....sturdy structure...." He sat back down next to Alanna, jokingly putting his arm around her. "I have had a few new designs that I wanted to try out...."

"Yeah, we'll see." He rubbed his side where Alanna had elbowed him. "But yes, perhaps we should leave the lessons for another day..." He took the instrument and put it back in it's case, and then put it back in the other room. He then came back, and sat down, even closer than last time, hoping she didn't notice his slow movements to close the gap between them. "So what's new? Where did you go for so long?"

"Fighting your father? Do tell." He looked at her, slightly concerned about what he had missed since he was gone. He felt like he should have been there to help her. How had he let himself be gone for so long without checking back on the situation at home?

"Hmm...well if you ever need help..." His arm moved down to her side, and he squeezed lightly. "...you know where to find me." He smiled. "And if you need somewhere to stay, you could always stay here for a bit." Suddenly, there was a loud cracking noise, as one of the last timbers of the second floor fell to the ground. "...of course, after I rebuild a little bit...."

"Of course, any help would be greatly appreciated! Though...I'm thinking that we'll build it elsewhere.... this location is kind of boring. And all the houses I build here seem to get destroyed...." He shrugged. "I was thinking of building on this one spot along the cliff." He noticed her movement in and tried to hide a smile. Unfortunately, his dating skills were a bit rusty, by a few hundred years of not being used. He decided to just turn his hold into a full hug by moving close enough so he could wrap his arm around Alanna fully. "So are you good at interior design?"

"Excellent!" He looked towards Alanna and saw that her face had turned to a bright shade of red, and he then realized that he may be a bit too forward. He quickly removed his left hand and pulled away slightly to cough off to the left. "So, regarding our date, was there anything you wanted to do in particular? We could go into the main area of RDS, we could go for a walk around my place." There were some nice walking paths around his house and property, especially along the cliff face. "What do you prefer?"
