Vanellope slipped into the shop, pushing her hood down from her head. Shoving her hands in the pocket of her hoodie, she looked around.

“Hey! I’m looking at getting a guitar,” she replied, scuffing her boot on the floor.

“Maybe some lessons too.”

Berlioz smiled and nodded as he put down violin and walked towards the wall with guitars. “Well, you’ve come to the right place. There’s plenty to choose from. While the guitar isn’t my specialty, I have other employees who would be able to teach you.”

“looking for the owner off this place.” toulouse replied teasingly with a grin, “i’d like to file a complaint. my piano was serviced and it still sounds terrible.” he let out a chuckle, “i plan on blaming you and not my lack of skills at the keys.”

“Little brother, what a nice surprise.” Berlioz gave him a bright smile. “Oh? I’m sure it’s totally my fault and not yours. Never mind that you skipped most music lessons in favor of drawing on walls.” He teased him as he walked up and pulled him into a hug, “How are you?”

“hopefully not too curious, you recall the old adage about curiosity and cats!”

“Yes, my mother often reminded me when I was a little too bold. But I think you can’t learn if you’re not curious.”

Berlioz was working through tuning the violins her had for sale as he did every week. He enjoyed the monotonous and time consuming task because it brought his mind some peace. It was something he looked forward to actually. The shop was quiet this morning and he took enjoyment in the silence for a bit. As much as he loves music, he also enjoyed the quiet. The ding of the bell alerted him someone had come in and he looked up with a smile, “Welcome. How can I help you?”

“ you never know what horrible fate your bad luck has saved you from, ” he reassured them.

“That is true. It’s a relief, really, but it also leaves me a little curious.”
