Day one! Woo! \o/

So, music and hobbies for Micha doesn't particularly align with his own interests tbh. On his own, he wouldn't have really gotten into anything other than ballet - and he would have quit that pretty young, too. Which isn't to say he doesn't love all the hobbies he gets into thanks to his new friends, he just would have focused his energy towards academics if left to his own devices. He's a big brain boy with a lot of ambition, and he will one day grow up to become a very successful business man or government official of some notoriety. Typically, a skill or hobby would only be explored to achieve it - then set aside to focus on something else. That's just the kind of person he is.

But, right now? Right now, he just likes seeing his friends smile. He likes being an active participant in their lives and their interests and so, yes, he will take the time out of his studies to dedicate himself to learning the violin and the fox trot and executing the perfect grand jeté. He will take time out of his day to study and learn with the people he cares about, because they matter the most, and he is going to excel to help push them to excellence as well.

And, if their interests change? Well, that just means he has something new to learn.

A/N: Just want to give a little nod to the Firebird btw, as based off the rendition inside one of my favourite childhood books: Of Swans, Sugarplums and Satin Slippers. I've had my copy since I was a child and I adore the Firebird's story most dearly out of all of them. I like to think Micha has the same book and that he was the winner of a contest on what the next play would be - so he picked Firebird.
