Being positive was always better than the alternative so far as Brook was concerned, even if things were as bad as they could possibly get. Times like those were when you had to be cheerful and keep believing that things would get better. Besides, he was already convinced that this Landel's place could have been a whole lot worse.
It could not have had a music room, for example.
"Most certainly!" he agreed, reaching out his fingers only to pause when he thought better. Sharing instruments on his crew had never been a problem since they were all friends and therefore family, but sharing with a young girl he'd just met? He could have more manners than that! Especially if he was going to give her back the instrument afterwards. "Ah, but I shouldn't use your instrument after you. Let me see..." he looked up and headed over to the instruments.
Since the room was so prepared, it wasn't difficult for him to find another of the small flutes to take up and return with. "There now, we each have out own! And I forgot before, but you may call me Brook. It is a pleasure to meet you, Anise-san!" he finally returned her greeting as he raised the flute to play, "Now... I suppose I should play a song I know fairly well..."
There were any number of songs that he could have played, but his bias showed once more as he began to play his usual Bink's Sake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM0nVi-WopA), trying his hand a bit more steadily than he would have given he had an audience. He didn't want to scare the poor girl away from music because it could seem difficult, after all!
