Invitations had gone out ~~handwavily~~ on the school and town's bulletin boards, both electronic and physical, that a belated post-pollen relaxation and last-day-of-break dinner party was being held at Hannibal's house and everybody was invited.

Of course, that meant Hannibal had had to come home and go immediately into a frenzy of cooking and preparing, but honestly - you relax your way, and he'd relax his.

[OOC: Dinner party! Everybody's invited, ~~but wait for the OCD, please.~~ OCD up!]

Current Mood: relaxed
Current Location: 22 Phoenix Place
Current Music: Light and lively classical

Hannibal took a seat nearby and listened; it was always interesting to hear somebody else play, and he could learn quite a bit about someone by how they approached the new instrument.

At first Lucille aimed for precision in timing, but being unused to the harpsichord that quickly became a struggle, so she went for intensity. Again, the instrument was different from the piano, and the nuances she was used to felt flat. She frowned a little, then tried giving more freedom to the rhythm of the piece, making sure that the intervals that she felt needed to be emphasized rang a little longer. It was a challenge, but one she enjoyed, and she almost forgot that Dr Lecter was listening. At the final note the expression on her face was fierce rather than pleased.

Hannibal waited for her to come out of the music, the smiled. "Well done. What do think of the harpsichord?"

"It's a beautiful instrument," Lucille said. "Different from the piano, and deceptively similar." She hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Would you consider teaching me?"

It would probably affect the piano practice she had made the habit of doing in the rec room, but she didn't mind.
