Remus woke up the next day at around noon, rubbing his eyes and jumping out of bed. He opened his curtains, squinting his eyes slightly at the sunlight he was greeted with.
The intrusive trait groaned a little, pulling on green jumper and black sweatpants, he couldn't really be bothered to dress up dramatic today.
As he opened the door and headed down the steps
of the mansion, a rather unexpected sound filled
his ears. A piano? Someone was playing it.Remus looked to his left to where the sound was coming from, walking down the halls and opening a few more doors — before eventually ending up in a fairly large room he hadn't explored before.
"Huh." Remus blinked, scratching his moustache as he gave a confused look. But the intrusive trait smiled in relief as he spotted a familiar figure at the other end of the new room.
"Hey, Dee.." He hummed, walking over. The snake sat at the piano, his fingers gracefully tracing across the keys to create a beautiful tune. So that's what the sound was. "I didn't know you played!"
Deceit looked up at the man, giving a small smirk. "Hello, Remus." He nodded. "And yes, I do." He chuckled, playing a little of Beethoven just for show.
But the other just smiled and clapped, his eyes sparkling. "Wow, that's so cool!" He laughed.
"Thank you, Remus." Deceit hummed, adjusting his shirt. For once, the snake was not wearing his cape. The lying man was now wearing a cream shirt unbuttoned at the collar, tucked into a pair of black trousers; his hat and gloves still remaining.
Remus smiled softly at the sight, admiring Dee's form for a moment before asking in excitement: "Can you teach me?"
"To play piano?" Dee blinked, thinking for a moment. "Absolutely not." He chuckled.
Remus smiled widely, knowing that meant yes,
and jumped up before taking a seat on the stool
next to Dee.But the snake just smirked darkly for a split second, his plan falling into action.
"Now, we can try something simple.." Deceit began, playing only a few chords before looking back at Remus. Remus smiled widely and brought down his hands on the keys of the piano....playing it completely out of tune, no melody to it at all.
Deceit winced slightly, looking back at the other. "That's..uh, great.." He tried to smile encouragingly.
But Remus frowned, knowing that he was lying. "Hmph. This is boring." He whined, resting his hand against his cheek and his elbow on the piano.
"You started thirty seconds ago, and you're just going to give up?" Deceit raised an eyebrow. "On your first try, no less?"
"Yeah! Because..just—s t i l l !" Remus huffed.
