I wouldn't mind reading in the room with you sometime. Or listening to you play. I've never heard a lyre, but I play the violin. I learned from Lestat.
I like sex and I like killing things. The former doesn't seem like it's within your sphere of expertise and the latter, I'd assumed to be off the table.
I have had sex. Or... something that is roughly the same as sex that was done for enjoyment. And I killed many things.
But I'm a little confused on the liking sex. Because you called all the sex before 'disgusting' and you said that doing all the things you did were punishment enough just doing them. So do you like sex or is it just what you're familiar with, like... that thing we talked about before?
Yes, I like sex. There's simply a difference between sex I'm being forced to have on pain of - well - slightly more and somewhat worse torture than usual, and sex I'm having with someone I like, because I want to.
What would the point have been? We hunted, hurt, healed, and occasionally the chamberlain threw us a day-old newspaper so we'd know what was going on in the world. We couldn't give the impression that we were living in a hole in the ground.
You can come up to the gazebo any time you like. I'll try to keep some music on hand to listen to while we're there, or maybe Lestat can help play things on the piano. Have you met Lestat?

...
I've been reading a lot. Jedao asked the Admiral for a lyre on my behalf, so I've been playing a little. It's been a while.

Ah. I...wouldn't mind that, on occasion.
[He also feels he's neatly sidestepped the question of what it is he likes doing, which was the main point.]
Though we could just as easily continue as we were. I've not been deliberately avoiding you.
...These last few days aside, obviously, because I've been avoiding everyone.

[ A pause before-]
Do you not want to talk about what you like?

weird illithid type shit, probably.

he's definitely going to think about it.]Yes, I like sex. There's simply a difference between sex I'm being forced to have on pain of - well - slightly more and somewhat worse torture than usual, and sex I'm having with someone I like, because I want to.

What?
No.
Of course not.

So you like those things... but they're also the only things you were allowed to do.
Maybe we could start trying some other things together? To see if you like other things too?
no subject
'Other things' like what?
[He knows many hobbies exist! they're just all weird and suspicious.]

I work at the art gazebo so we have a bunch of them. You can try any of them to see if you like how they sound.
And there's lots of records and tapes and CDs in the library. I like trying new music. We could see what new things you might like.
no subject
I've seen the other instruments, yes. It was complaining to Jedao about the absence of a lyre which triggered the request, I think.
Anyway, I...don't see the harm in looking.

no subject
Yes - at that party of yours, actually. He was decent company.
no subject
He works there with me. And he taught me how to play the violin.
no subject
For any particular reason? It's a difficult instrument to learn. And sounds the most painful in the process.
no subject
no subject
Hm. And were you able to? The duet, I mean.
no subject
I could play it for you if you like. I won't say I'm the best or anything but... I think it expressed what I needed it to.
no subject
And what was that?
no subject
But it was a duet with a piece of music Arthur wrote. He gave me a recording of it for the winter holiday last year.
no subject
It sounds rather personal to the two of you.
