Content: Tidus and Lenne meet. Uh oh.
Setting: Ceu de Mouraria [L8]
Time: Week 12, around evening.
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.

Lenne held onto her reverie for a while longer, letting her free arm fall slowly back to her side as she let out a long sigh. The anticipation was almost tangible for her, she could hardly wait to perform again, if only to keep that smile on Tidus' face, even better if she could spread such smiles throughout Paixao.

She grinned a little brighter when his hand found hers, not even reading into the gesture, just enjoying it for what it was: familiar, comforting, and warm. It wasn't lost on her, however, when that pressure was rather swiftly removed, but it wasn't her place to ask, even as she noted the light blush that lit his face. Being the woman that she was, she immediately assumed the worst, that he really didn't want her touching him at all, so she gracefully removed her hand from his shoulder, sliding it lightly down his arm until it was once again resting at her side.

When he spoke again, she smiled brightly, falling back into her familiar stance of clasping her hands behind her back. "Thank you, Tidus. It'll be an honor to have a famed celebrity like yourself introduce me," she told him, truthfully, with just a hint of that playfulness that he brought out in her, as much as she tried to suppress it.
