Day 36: Music Room

[tony-castaway.livejournal.com]

The nurses came and took Takaya away. For a visitor? Tony heard that as the other boy was led away, but he didn't react. Usually, when he heard something, he wasn't supposed to hear it, and it was just a good idea to pretend he hadn't. Though he wondered if he should check on Takaya later if he found a way to do it.

He returned his attention back to the recorder in his hands. Now with no "student" to teach, he could play the melodies from his head again. This one was a bit more exuberant, a bit more expressive of the hope he felt that life was more than this, more than the city where he'd grown up. Tony had dreams that weren't crushed. His music said all this.

(for Frey!)

"I hope it's beautiful again by now. The war did a lot of damage. But it's good to remember the nice things as well as the difficulties of the war." That was something Frey had had great difficulty doing while he was in the middle of it, but now that he was able to look back...

"I've read that land recovers fast." He smiled, trying to sound encouraging. "It can, I mean. If the people love it. Nature is important to take care of, don't you think?"

Frey blinked, a little confused by Tony's question. "Take care of in what sense...?" Nature did quite well on its own, where he came from. If anything, the True Runes that embodied the forces of nature tended to be things that people needed protection from.

Frey's confusion was reflected by Tony's own confusion. In his experience, people tried to kill living things at every chance they got. "Well, not abuse it or tear it up, I guess."
