Virgil's fingers moved slowly across the piano keys as he read the unfamiliar score. He had received a package of new sheet music with the last post. It's always good to have a new challenge, he thought. He frowned as he hit the wrong note, and started over undeterred. No matter how much concentration he gave over to learning the music, however, he couldn't quite get Elise out of his head. I hope her own challenge won't prove too much for her -- scratch that, I know it won't... He got to the end of the fifth bar and hit the wrong key again, and started over. I hope she got my note, he thought as he continued. And I hope it helped.

Soon enough he was making his way through the piece fluidly, and he smiled lightly. Ever since he had first touched a piano, it had come easily to him. He played it through once more, and looked up to see Gordon walking in somewhere around the middle. He finished with a little flourish, and Gordon shook his head.

"Show off," he said. "I've never heard that one before."

"It's new. Got it in the mail."

"Huh. I thought you'd graduated beyond using other people's stuff. I should have guessed, though. It was too good to be one of your compositions."

Virgil held up one fist in mock threat, and Gordon grinned cheekily.

"One does not 'move beyond' using other people's work," Virgil said haughtily. "One always keeps on top of the latest developments, so one can be better than them."

"Oh, I do apologise," Gordon said with a little bow.

The two chuckled as Gordon straightened, and Virgil started to gather his sheets together.

"So, what's up?" He asked.

"Nothing much. I too am enjoying a rare lazy morning."

"For you, they're hardly rare," Virgil said, and was rewarded with a light smack to the back of his head. "Hey!"

"Actually," Gordon said, his tone suddenly becoming sober, "I was thinking about Elise. I sure hope she'll be okay."

"She will be," Virgil said as he rose from the piano bench. "She'll do just fine."

"Yeah."

"Now, if you'll give me a minute to tidy this away, what do you say to a little 'friendly' pinball competition? I want to whup your butt before I start some diagnostics on TB2."

"You whup my butt? I think not. You're on!"

98% pure evil...and loving every minute of it.
