Violin solo (Amellyne/Zenneth)

Alexander was walking down Capital Crocus, the petals of the blossoming flowers filling his boots. It was a nice sentiment, but this bright picture was in contrast with Alexander’s grim nature. He enjoyed what would probably be the last scenic view that he would have, the nature of his job would kill him for sure. How was he supposed to fight against those odds? He just walked quietly down the street and enjoyed the last bit of peace and calm that he wanted. Eventually he got into the outskirts of the city and started to climb the hill overlooking the Capital, he wanted to enjoy the city from afar.

He slowly walked up the hill and then he heard it, a beautiful violin solo could be heard as Alexander ventured up the hill. The music touched his soul and it gave him a smile to his face as he walked closer to the source. Eventually he got up to a clearing and saw the musician, she was very talented for such a young age. Alexander’s coat fluttered in the wind as he sat down, this would be a perfect place to set camp for the night. He did however smiled politely at the young girl, “That’s a very beautiful violin solo.”

Amellynne hummed quietly as she played, a soft wind joining in here and there. Her mind was blank except for the music notes that danced from her memory to her fingertips and flew through the air. Her teacher had always told her she had great talent but he didn't know the whole story, talent had nothing to do with it, just time. Ame never noticed when the stranger sat down beside her, nor did she hear him speak. Just the notes. She continued to play until the song was done, the soft melody carried off by the wind. It wasn't until she lowered her bow that she realized she wasn't alone. She fumbled and fell backwards in an attempt to flee, thankfully not breaking the violin or the thin wood of the bow but slightly twisting her ankle. She sat on the grass, knowing better then to try and put too much pressure on her ankle just yet.

Alexander listened to the music as he was starting to unpack his things for camp. He started to unpack some jerky and looked at horizon, the music giving a beautiful background music to his sightseeing. He closed his eyes and remembered his time in Sabertooth and sighed, it was hard for him. He was lonely without his family, but the job needed to be done. It had to be for his sake and those of others. There was no going back, but maybe this is what he wanted. Death for a cause would be such a satisfying and peaceful end…

It was by then that Alexander noticed the music stopped and there was a stumble and muffled sound of someone falling on grass. It caused Alexander to turn around and noticed the kid was flat on her ass. Alexander casually walked up to her and offered her a hand to help her on her feet. “Are you all right miss?” It was the polite thing to do after all.

Amellynne looked around frantically, trying to figure out if anyone else had snuck up on her while she had been playing. By the looks of it the stranger was planning to camp on the hill. She watched the man as he walked up and offered her a hand to help her up but looked away as he asked her a question. Keeping her gaze down she nodded and folded her leg in front of her so she could see her ankle better. In the dim light of the setting sun she couldn't tell if her ankle would be bruised in the morning. She could tell it wasn't broken or twisted at an odd angle either so some rest and it should be fine by morning. She turned her attention next to her violin, it hadn't been damaged but the grass and dirt had scratched through the resin on the wood. Easily fixable. She looked up to the stranger now.

"C-could I help you with s-something, Si-sir?"

Alexander gently smiled and answered, "Nope, just heard a beautiful violin solo and wanted to listen to it. There is nothing wrong with appreciating the finer arts right?" He chuckled slightly as he bit into the jerky he had. The Capital of Crocus was more beautiful afar than it was up close, the floral patterns showered the city in a shower of colors. It was in essence natures artistic beauty. Alexander said, "Is the Violin okay?" He was joking around to lighten up the situation. She seemed slightly nervous after all. He offered some jerky to the young girl as he said, "Name's Alexander. What's your name?"

Amellynne blushed slightly and held her violin closer. She often came up to the top of the hill to play her violin, but mostly because she expected to be alone... Ame nodded when he asked about the violin, but shook her head violently when he offered her the jerky. She didn't intend to insult the man but she really couldn't stand that stuff.
He introduced himself as Alexander, and hesitantly she answered.

"A-amellynne... Amellynne Sairioh. I-it's nice to make your aquaintance... Alexander."

She wasn't entirely sure giving him her name was a good idea but the academy had taught her good manners, which she stuck to consistently.

Alexander chuckled slightly as he took another bite of his jerky and gently patted the fire in the shoulder. He was no threat to the girl, but obviously he was appearing intimidating to her. So afterwards he gave her space, being a couple feet away from from Amellyne. Alexander stated, "Well Amellyne, I apologize for surprising you. I did not realize you wanted to be alone... If you request, I shall leave your presence and let you continue playing your music in peace."

Amellynne relaxed as Alexander moved away. She didn't mean to make him feel unwelcome. She put the violin down carefully beside her.

"I-it's alright. I stopped playing because i was done practicing. You... you don't have to leave. I'm sorry... I... I'm not very good with strangers..."
