Warnings: Does this count as infidelity?

Wandering about, Tidus was all set to explore Paixao. Only... how far did he go? It was getting dark, and there wasn't a lot to do aside from eating at the local cafes. Huh. Ducking into an older building, nobody seemed to be around. It was no blitzball stadium, but it reminded him of Luca's sphere theater as it had a lot of spectator seats and a stage. Making his way to the stage, he found a lone piano... well, he never was musical, but he was bored. There wasn't much else to do. Seating himself, he didn't even know if the bloody thing was in tune. In any case, he wondered what he should try out... there weren't any sheets, and it wasn't as if he could read sheet music anyway.

Then it came to him. Yuna sometimes hummed a tune... he then began using one of his fingers to find the starting note, and stumbled through the rest of the melody as it resounded throughout the hall.

She laughed lightly when he chuckled. She'd guessed as much, but it doesn't hurt to ask, and besides, it kept him talking, and then some. Lenne had absolutely no idea of his connection to or relationship with Yuna, though later she would most likely be unsure if it really would have affected her actions at all.

"You don't suck, I assure you," she laughed, lying smoothly. She'd heard much worse, truth be told. "I've played, yes, but it's been a long time..." she hesitated, but when he motioned to the piano bench, she couldn't help but comply. She approached with a grin and took a seat at the piano, lifting the cover off of the keys slowly. Once it was in place, she ran arpeggios up and down the keys, trying to get a feel for this instrument. The keys stuck a bit, and a few were out of tune, but it wasn't nearly so bad as she expected.

"I don't really remember any songs," she admitted, a little embarrassed, and hoped she could still find a way to hold his attention. The only melodies she could recall were a bit on the melancholy, bordering on depressing side. But, there had been a song stuck in the back of her mind, a tune she'd been unable to remember the name of or when she'd first heard it. So, she decided to try it out, left hand playing the chord, right hand picking out the melody, of a tune that might have resembled 1000 Words, if she'd known the title.
