Welcome to Gaia! ::

When both Finn and Rey seemed alarmed, Ella regretted ever speaking. She should have known that her issues would cause worry. Rey said it couldn't be because she was a good embroiderer and Milan and Bieito trusted her to help with her dress. And Finn followed it up by saying that Linsey was already confident that Ella would work with her. "I... I just worry. Fashion is really... glitz and glam, you know? There is a lot of spotlight involved and I'm just," she sighed softly, her gaze downturning. "I'm no Linsey." Despite Linsey's insistence, Ella was definitely more apt to stay backstage. Linsey lit up every room she stepped in and her confidence spoke wonders. Ella got nervous when there were too many people she liked looking at her, much less a crowd of strangers!

Thankfully her insistence of not sending home for help paid off. Or at least, it was put on the backburner for now. "Thank you. I'll definitely seek help when I run into walls. I just... I really want everyone to be happy, even if it means a little extra work for me. Besides, it's really kind of nice that they all thought of me, right?" It was nice individually, but the big issue was that everyone seemed to have the same idea. Perhaps there was some glimmer of hope yet. Maybe she'd just have to summon the courage to tell people "no" sometimes.

Finn then spoke on her piano playing, nothing that she'd have time and space for practice now. He even said they might convince her to join one of the family bands. "Well, that one might be less likely, but I do like to play with the family." She grinned, feeling a little better. Something about spending time with family always seemed to help. Now if they could figure out this music, she could send it over to Radovan and cross it off her list. As she played the piano, she was glad she had gotten a quick-quotes quill that was specially modified for music. Then Finn lifted his violin so Ella turned to a fresh page. As he began, she played as well, her smile growing. Afterwards, Finn said that it would sound more complete after everyone joined in. "I think that sounds like a lovely plan. Then I just have to find someone who an sew to Linsey's standard before my fingers fall off." She giggled, but she did feel a weight lifted off her shoulders. Maybe she could send the piano and violin pieces over to the family band (minus Linsey, of course) to see if they could clean it up and add the rest? That might be a really nice way to incorporate the family.
