Closed Light across the water.

it was dusk. Niamh had spent the day feeling cooped up and restless in the castle. so she had put on a goat against the last of the winter chill and gone out for a wander around the grounds viola case in her hands. yes, she loved the arts club, and the music rooms there were good, great for group work or practising, learning to listen to and experience other people's tunes. But for Sky to really experience the music, and the world for herself, it needed to be played outside to the the wide sky.
She found herself on the opposite side of the lake to the castle the dusk making the walls glow and the windows like pools of molten gold. she set her case down and took out her instrument placing it against her shoulder. she gave the bow a quick spin, took in a deep breath of the rich crisp evening air and let it flow through her as she played.

Leonardo had been on the pitch, trying his best to improve his skills. He couldn't let the team down, they'd won once and could do it again. He just needed to play his part, he needed to not fail at it. Leonardo needed to manage it. The teen was heading back to the castle, taking the slightly long route around, stopping when he heard a familiar noise upon the air. The teen followed the noise and spotted Harmony at the lakeside, playing. He was always in awe of how she played, always in awe of how amazing she could make an instrument sound. He had never learned one, apart from a few piano chords when his grandfather had been really interested in piano. This was amazing, and he just sat down and listened to her play.

harmony let the music flow through her. sometimes following a few bars until it almost became part of a recognisable song before drifting away back into her pure inspiration. she had been playing for a few minutes with the feeling of someone watching her prickling the back of her neck. she had ignored it thinkingthat whoever it was was just passing however when it still wasn't going away she turned around and saw leo there. before turning around smiling as a happier tone flowing through the melody. however after a few moments she started to feel a little funny playing with her back to him. she came to an end and turned around. "Hey Leo" she said putting the instrument down and closing the box before she went over to sit besides him. "How are you?" she asked, still looking out over the water.
