* Ali sat under a single tree with a instrument in his lap, a guitar to be precise, and were tuning the strings for a few moments before he simply began on a somewhat known classic. No Amps just him and the sound of the guitar, unplugged.*
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Wandering through the outside, Ziven walked alone, not expecting to find anyone. Eventually .. she heard music. Arching a brow, she was quite surprised to see Ali. She did not speak to him but smiled, bobbing her head in greeting and listening to him.

* Ali just smiled back and played a outro that wasn't original to the song but worked well enough as a ending, Leaning more against the tree afterwards and patted the end of the guitar gently with his right hand.* Any requests, besides the Metal genre. That doesn't sound so well with a normal guitar.

"I know not of the metal genre. Most .. traditional songs I know are of classical music, no lyrics .. or folk or traditional songs. For example, in my time in England, I learned the .. god save the queen? And some of the Weird Sisters songs." she said with a smile, seating herself on the grass in front of him, his one person audience, ready for an encore.

Guess I'll be the one to choose then. This one is called La Grange by the band ZZ Top* Ali smiled at her before he licked both his index fingers and did a test before he began on the song deciding to play it all, even the solos. All while singing along.*
Rumour spreadin a-round in that texas town
bout that shack outside la grange
And you know what Im talkin about.
Rumour spreadin' a-'round in that Texas town
'bout that shack outside La Grange
and you know what I'm talkin' about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
to that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls ah.
Have mercy.
A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw.
A haw, haw, haw.
Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time
and the ten to get yourself in.
A hmm, hmm.
And I hear it's tight most ev'ry night,
but now I might be mistaken.
hmm, hmm, hmm.
Ah have mercy.

"How delightful! I think .. what do you mean, in the third line, I know not what you were speaking of and ten of what?" she asked with curious, wide eyes, smiling brightly, as if this were the most amazing thing she had heard in her life.

Uh..that just their lyrics. * Ali scratched his neck and smiled somewhat, that wasn't a question he had expected to hear. But why not play one more just to make her think and blush. This time Ali didn't say who made the song but instead just began to play it.*
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet Cherry Pie
Yeah
Wow
Heh Heh
Well swinging on the front porch
Swinging on the lawn
Swinging where we want
Cause there ain't nobody home
Swingin' to the left and
Swingin' to the right
I think about baseball
I'll swing all night, yeah
Yeah, yeah - huh!
Swingin in the living room
Swingin' in the kitchen
Most folks don't
Cause they're too busy bitchin'
Swingin' in there
Cause she wanted me to feed her
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater
I scream, you scream,
We all scream for her
Don't even try
Cause you can't ignore her
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Oh yeah
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good
Bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie
Yeah sweet cherry pie
Yeah
Swing it
All night long
Swing it
Hey, hey, Ow!
I'm a trained professional
Swingin' in the bathroom
Swingin' on the floor
Swingin' so hard
Forgot to lock the door
In walks her daddy
Standin' six foot four
Said, "You ain't gonna swing
with my daughter no more."
Sweet Cherry Pie
Yeah! Huh!
Swing it!

"It does not seem possible that one could taste like cherries or pie." she said amazed but smiling brightly and applauding him. "Do you know more?"

Yes but I'll play them some other time, you seem amazed enough now and I wouldn't want to ruin that next time you find me like this.* Ali snickered somewhat and put the guitar to rest in his lap, stroking his hand over the strings to feel if anything had been ruined or so by his performances.* Do you play any instruments?

"Goodness no! I could listen all day if you would wish to sing and play all day - I would love to hear more just as happily next time, I promise." she said with a bright smile and a giggle. "No, I only sing. I have tried, and was able to learn rather well, though I did not have any instruments. Well .. now I could make some but it never crossed my mind as I have no one to learn from." she said with a giggle and a bright smile.

Hmm...I guess I could take you to the Music store in Euphoria and see if you can find a instrument that intrigues you some day.* Ali smiled at her, He might be able to find a soldier that could teach her a instrument, out off all of them at least one had to play the instrument she had chosen then.*

She smiled and bobbed her head. "Yes, perhaps. I shall assume you know me well enough to know that I would love to learn everything." she finished with a giggle. "Oh! I have learned something new from Seisuke-ona, but he said I should surprise you." she said with another giggle, looking to him with a pleased smile, covering her mouth slightly with her fingertips, showing it should be secret but she couldn't resist.

Okay then.* Ali shook his head while he snickered, when one had a secret you didn't tell people you did. But people were different and she hadn't said what it was.* I'll look forward to it.

"If you wanted to train today, I would show you." she said with another giggle, but did not expect him to accept. With the day already getting late, she believe he would prefer to relax. "And yes, it is true, I am no good with keeping the secrets that are meant to be told! The secrets that are meant to stay private, I keep very well though." she said with a giggle.
