this party thread is NOT going fast enough, moaaar

Strel fumbled with the strings on his lute, his nervousness going down his limbs and into his fingers. Growling softly, he shook out his hands and cursed himself mentally. What was he being such a pansy for? There was no reason to act like this; he just had to get over himself and just be normal. A few plucks of the lute were awkward and off key, but the redhead figured the instrument was a little bit out of tune from a change in humidity. He twisted the nobs and tested the sound, unaware that Zafier was coming up behind him. Ears flicked back at the sound of steps on the wooden stage, then his entire body turned to face the man. Strel looked relatively surprised, lute in his hands, one hand on the neck and the other cradling the body.

"Don't do that," he complained, not liking when people sneaked up behind him; it was sketchy and it was not something that he liked to experience. Chasing, sure, he usually knew who was chasing him, but creeping and surprising? It was not cute and it did not entertain him, especially if his mind was completely elsewhere. Zafier played his flute, and the redhead noted that he was not all that bad. "Hey, you're not half bad." Tongue sticking out a bit, Strel tested his lute's strings one last time, and then tried to match the tune that the other man was getting at. He had no idea that the Catori man was at all musically inclined. "Where'd you learn?" It was stupid of him to ask, as Zafier could not play and talk at the same time.
