Thread: The New Girl in Town- Moon/Tinything

Miriam noticed the sly grin on Liliya's lips, causing her cheeks to flush a gentle red, as she looked a bit down, a finger paying around a bit with the tip of her locks. She wondered if Liliya had mistaken it as a flirt? Good. Miriam hadn't really intended this. She imagined no chance with Liliya. She was older, and far more experienced, with just about everything. Therefor, she hadn't tried. She hadn't really ever tried, so she'd be extremely rusty at that. With the first mention of arpeggios, Miriam's head shook several times and she giggle. Oh no, please no... Already done those. I have tried a little keyboard, and I've done enough arpeggios... I wanna try something a little more testing, and interesting.. I've already got the keys in order. It's the flow of the melody, I'm still not all that familiar with. She explained. She'd done those damn arpeggios both with the Piano, and singing. She'd been in, and won a few of them, song contests. Even her voice seemed pristine, in most eyes. Her question caused Miriam's eyes to widen slightly, realizing that's what she'd been hinting towards. She gulped lightly with a gentle giggle, her cheeks surely flushing more brightly now, as if her cheeks radiated. She smiled sweetly, clearing her throat as she was complimented too, clearly not all that used to it. Well, she'd certainly been told before. And she wasn't unpopular, boys had made moves before. But she'd never cared back, the way she did about Liliya. And it was causing her to squirm like a little school girl, without even noticing it. Granted, she wasn't much more then a little school girl, but she wasn't the kind that acted like this so often. U.. Uhm.. Thanks.. Lilya. Heh. And.. Well. Yes, I think you are. But.. I think just about everyone thinks the same there. Other.. Women. Is probably too jealous to admit it, and men too scared to get in trouble. Heh. She giggled a bit shyly, stroking her hands against each other, between her thighs. She'd nodded when told to wait, looking down at the Violin as she did. Her head tilted lightly, as a finger reached out to gently stroke the wood of the Violin. She was careful not to touch the Violin's strings. And as Liliya returned, she smiled excitedly, looking down to the old, veteran case. She giggled lightly at it's beat-up state, looking back up to Liliya as she mentioned the first lesson. Miriam observed as Liliya taught, nodding up to the woman when ever she needed to make sure Miriam was listening. Again, her eyes observed, learned and calculated. In almost everything she was shown and taught, she acted like this. She loved to learn. Loved to be taught. Loved to be trained. And that was in almost anything. Even things she wasn't all that interested in. When they'd been taught some different Olympic sports, back when there was a gentle tournament between her town's school and the neighbor town's. Even then she'd observed, and learnt. Even though she had very little interest in sports. But she'd quickly become one of the best in her generation, even beating a few of the older classes. But now, with instruments, she listened with even more intense care. And as she was finally handed the Violin, she carefully accepted with a slight kneel in her knees, before looking down the instrument. Again, her eyes drove up and down the strings, as she put the Violin in place, carefully and generously tuning the instrument, after having been shown. Then, she rose the bow above the Violin, at first hovering it less then an inch above the strings, back and forth a few times. And finally, she let the two touch, sending a soft and gentle tune through the air. And then, she started playing. She didn't look down on the pages, just focusing her eyes at the Violin. The first many tunes where slightly distorted, a few mishaps and a few gentle screeches. But she kept going. And after about a minute of gentle mistakes, Miriam closed her eyes, her fingers and the bow hovering over the strings for a few seconds, before starting from the top of the song she'd been told to play. Now, nearly flawless. Letting herself live with the song, her body swayed slightly, in accordance to the melody. And suddenly, the song shifted tune, Miriam's eyes stirring lightly, as a few mistakes where made again. But again, less then a minute after, she played a more gentle version, of the more complicated melody, that Liliya had played before. It was made much less complicated, and more new-user friendly, but it had most of the melody with it. It was nowhere as impressive as Liliya's version of it, but it was a floating start, to someone who'd only tried it once or twice before today. There was clearly something special, about her talent. And soon, Miriam stopped, exhaling softly, as her soft purpleish eyes gazed towards Liliya, with a gentle smile. How.. How did I do? She asked, smiling sweetly, resting her chin a bit, letting her arm relax down her side again, still holding the Violin in place.
