[ Stop....... Kaede.... They were doing a duet? There was no solo. He rubs his neck awkwardly, falling into sheepish tendencies as he gives her a nervous smile. ]
I don't think this is Ryuji's type of music, but he'll come to support us. [ Akira knows he can always rely on Ryuji and, to be honest, if he abstains he wouldn't be fussed at all. They all have their tastes and preferences. ] Let me check in with the rest and I'll give you a heads up.
Do you have other friends that can play? Maybe we can get a bigger group together.
[Ryuji, huh...? He did give her a metronome (metrognome) as a Christmas gift, though she keeps it in her room instead of carting it back and forth between it and the music room. He's a sweet, kind boy, even if he has kind of a vulgar mouth.
Kaede laughs and pumps both fists in the air with enthusiasm.]
Yeah, I'll do the same thing! As long as we perform our usual way, I'm sure our songs will reach everyone's hearts!
[They played together.... once.... there is no usual way yet.... but she won't be deterred. She doesn't think twice before adding,] Arisato-kun has been practicing violin with me... he's a bard, too.
Oh, and there's another bard, but he's kind of...
[Bakugo... Her expression twists into a bit of a forced smile.]
I don't think this kind of music is something he'd be interested in! But I can definitely see if Arisato-kun wants to practice with us, too.
[ He will assume by "usual way" as in how they play on their own because, yeah, they don't play a lot together yet. It's fine since that seems like it's going to change. While it's mundane and maybe trivial, Akira appreciates some semblance of normalcy in this odd situation they are all in.
And.
Oh.
Minato. ]
That sounds good. [ Minato is a cool guy, in his honest opinion. Though... He arches his eyebrows at Kaede's strained smile. ] Is the other bard a rocker?
[ Akira doesn't doubt Kaede&madsh;he has no reason to, but this person sure is mean-spirited and rude? It piques his interest... Curious to meet this drummer just to see if he's as Kaede explains. ]
It's fine if you leave him out. Minato and I should suffice.
[ Who can ever really be on Kaede's level in the first place? Being mediocre will be the benchmark here, though he assumes Minato is probably more skilled than him at the strings. ]
Yeah, on purpose! And he said some pretty mean things about bards, and got angry when I cast Sleep on him after he said he wanted a demonstration of bard skills.
[She's still pouting. Though honestly he was probably right to be mad about her knocking him out for sixty seconds, he was still mean about it? So she's pretty sure she's in the right here.]
...Maybe you can ask him? Maybe he didn't like me for some reason. Like some kind of clean-freak!
[Because she did leave her stuff everywhere, though she doesn't explain.]
[ But, no. He doesn't blame Kaede at all. Those with thick skulls can only appreciate brute force or the peak of power. Sometimes you just have to show them up? Good job. For the most part, it sounds like he shouldn't meddle—they should work things out between themselves...
But he is curious? ]
Why would he be a clean freak?
[ It just... Seems weird to point that out when they're talking about music. ]

[She answers that immediately, no thought required as she frowns and crosses her arms.]
Bakugo-kun plays the drums, but when I was using the music room, he stepped on my sheet music! With muddy shoes!! On purpose!!
[She did leave it scattered all over the floor, but still! She would have picked it up eventually!]

[Bardic Inspiration raises morale, and Bakugo doesn't need his morale raised any higher, she's pretty sure.
She at least has the dignity to look embarrassed as she casts her gaze sideways.]
Well... he might have been mad because I had sheet music scattered all over the music room. I wasn't expecting anyone else to show up!
