Ah. Thank-you... Good.

Um.

I could do with a change of subject.

I always find music to be useful to uplift one's spirit. This is one of my favorite non-classical pieces. I assumed you might enjoy something cheerful.

[doubleppk]

Ah. Thank-you. Yes, I usually listen to music... or sing when I'm upset.

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

You are welcome. Did you like it?
I find music to be most comforting. Perhaps I should have tried harder to learn an instrument. I did not know you sing.

[doubleppk]

Mm. A little. Not as much my style I guess.

It is comforting, yes. I've never had the patience for an instrument though. I was on the run so much I wouldn't have been able to take one with me. And they're expensive.

I don't usually tell people I sing... it's something of a long story.

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

What is your style then?
I have never had the talent, unfortunately.
I would not press the matter then. But if you wish to tell me, I would gladly listen.

[doubleppk]

Ah well. Maybe another time. It's... uh. Not pleasant.

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

The melody was very interesting.

Very well, whenever you like.

[doubleppk]

It's a favorite but I'm usually partial to things with lyrics. So that I can sing.

Ah thank-you for understanding.

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

I am not much of a singer myself. Perhaps that is why I find melodies more appealing.

Of course.

[doubleppk]

Quite possible I suppose. Though I bet you'd have a lovely singing voice if you gave it a shot.

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

I am merely average, I am afraid.

[doubleppk]

Merely average is a great deal better than half of the population. And since I only seem to know that half, that would make you better than everyone I know at it, right?

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

I suppose you can look at it that way...but everyone I had known before was always far above the average.

[doubleppk]

At singing or in general? Everyone's good at something. So don't try to be better than them, just make their talents work for you too and then it might as well be as good as your own~ ^_^

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

I do not try. They have their talents and I have mine. I find myself blessed to be in such capable company.

[doubleppk]

Are we still talking about singing alone or something else now?

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

All talents, I suppose.

[doubleppk]

Unfortunately the talents of the company I had until coming here usually ran along the lines of thieving, explosives, bad luck, and swordsmanship. Even if they were the best in the world at it.

What talents did your acquaintances have?

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

That is truly unfortunate.

Many talents...music for one...horse riding, fencing, studies, diplomacy, politics...I have always had most gifted friends.

[doubleppk]

Could be worse. I'm not going to be the first to defend Lupin all things considered since he's a cad but at least he wasn't much of a killer. Kind of soft-hearted like that. There's no honor amoung thieves but he always had standards at least. And sometimes he tried to live up to the "Gentleman's thief" reputation his grandfather built instead of just the theif part.

Hm. I see. And where would say your talents lie then?

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

There is no honor in thievery. It is good he is not a killer, but being a thief is still wrong.

Mine? I suppose fencing, politics and diplomacy, art and studies are the main ones. What about your own?

[doubleppk]

Perhaps. I find the world has a lot of gray. Was Robin Hood wrong to steal from an illegal King who overtaxed his people in order to take back some of what was stolen in the first place and give it to the starving peasants? Repo men in my world are often viewed as thieves and yet what they do is a legal means of enforcing people to pay debts.

Oh a little of this, a little of that. I'm not the ultimate best at anything. No desire to be. That would take dedicating my life to one thing and I'd probably get bored in that event. I'm good at finding things. And people. But it's no use. Items get lost or stolen or break or aren't really worth the risks you take and everyone leaves in the end.

[justice-forall.livejournal.com]

I have learned on this world that things are not always as they seem and that titles can be very deceiving. If you say that he is a thief like we are pirates then that would be alright.

Do not be so negative. Not everyone leaves. You may be parted with some momentarily, but people who truly love you and that you truly love will always remain with you.

[doubleppk]

Lupin can't really be described well. He has to be experienced. Sometimes we fought on the same side, sometimes completely opposites. To call him a thief even in the same way some of this crew are pirates just glosses him over too much. If you ever meet him, watch your step around him.

Hn. Perhaps.... But I don't hold a lot of hope. There've been enough people whom I loved and thought loved me back who left that I no longer know if it's truly possible for someone to want to stay. Or for me to stay myself.
