Alec sat off in a quiet corner of Nexus space away from the Question Areas. He leaned against a Convenient Nexus Wall as he fiddle with his Rullette trying to get the instrument in tune. He hadn't played in months and wanted to try to see if he could still play.

Once tuned, he started to strum a simple song, frowning as he fumbled the notes.

Kaa sits beside him, and listens.

He plays haltingly as he tries to get his left hand into the correct positions. It's hard to tell when he can't feel anything. He doesn't sing either, though the song that he's playing sounds like it should have lyrics to it.

If he notices Kaa, he doesn't appear to give any sign of it.

Kaa hasn't frozen, but he doesn't move. Listening.

Eventually he seems to figure out what to do with his hand and the melody becomes smoother. He smiles as he plays, pleased to be able to coax music from his hands.

When the song dwindles to a slightly less than smooth ending, Alec turned his head, resting it on the neck of the rullete to look at Kaa. "Hello there."

"Hello. You're doing alright."

"Well, I'm doing better. I don't know if I've hit all right yet."

Shoulder pat! "I meant your song. Do you want anything? What's wrong...?"

Alec laughs, "Oh, I'm sorry. I completely misunderstood." Smiling he shook his head. "No, I'm fine. It's just the day to day living."
