one by one they lay the world at my feet,
one by one they drive me crazy.
one by one they drive me crazy.
You offer Finn a crooked smile for this, appreciating that he's humouring you despite this odd turn of phrase. It is one of your more odd personality traits, this obsession with Outlander language you've picked up from your parents, and you know that it has a tendency to make others feel a bit bothered to hear it.
"I would really enjoy that." You agree, feeling a strange mixture of hopeful anticipation and a forward-looking sorrow. It makes you want to laugh but also to drop to your knees in anguish. Instead of doing either of those things, you let your eyes drop down to Finn's hand knowing perfectly well that it will have been healed impeccably, but playing up your feigned ignorance just the same. "We'll make sure that everything is back working just how it's supposed to once we're back"
With a sly and rather private smile, you bite the inside of your lip as you try and work out just how you want to answer Finn's question. "Well...I do play other things, you know. Things that are easier to move around." Your shoulders shrug slightly, taking no offence that he hadn't thought to ask if you meant to play piano or something else. It is your main instrument after all, but there are many smaller things you might choose instead for this particular situation.
