Drakien smiled secretively at her teasing question, wiggling his eyebrows in a way that said, "they may have, they may not have." He had worn many hats around the caravan, claimed many titles, but few of them held relations to storms; unless you counted the calming of skittish horses under thunder. With a little shake of his head, he promised himself he'd share no more secrets unless he made a truthful commitment, and then focused on Terra and her question.

"The pipe, it is simple." He promised, and held it out in his hand. It was about the length of his forearm, with nine holes on top and one on the bottom, but after letting her examine it for a moment he took it and carefully broke it in half. The instrument wasn't actually broken, but had been carved in two parts which could come apart and together at will, thanks to some clever scratching away at the insides. He handed her the part, now the back hole with only for holes for her to learn, and smiled earnestly. "This method we use, teach children. Blow, one, two, three, four, then, one, three, four, two,, then two, four, three, one. Learn patterns and how sound together, yes? Always keep thumb covering hole on bottom for those." He demonstrated what he meant on the second piece, which wasn't really good for playing on its own but had all the holes so he could show her the finger movements. "Then, learn five Go one, two, three, four," And he took his thumb away from the hole at the back and said, Five."

"Now you try, put five in where pattern fits." He instructed. The musical method had also been used to teach the children their numbers, and sometimes other basic things, as it was quite useful. He didn't focus on that part, though, only relaying what he'd recalled from his own lessons, sitting among much smaller Luperci, those who'd only just shifted, and learning to play.
