"How'd you learn to do that?" He was, of course, talking about the little leaf flute that Kazuha sometimes played during moments of rest. "I can't say that I really know how to play any instrument - let alone a leaf, haha!"
" Ah, this? " He had just finished a short melody before the inquiry, lowering the leaf from his lips to twirl it between his fingertips thoughtfully. His eyes drift to the Traveler, letting the wind carry the leaf from his grip into the expanse before them, then back to the scenery.
" My late friend taught me, when I asked. He would play while we were traveling, sometimes. " It is said lightly, but his faraway gaze and smile bespeak his melancholy. He blinks, and it is gone, as he seems to shake away the memories, facing Aether again.
" Would you like to learn? " he asks, still smiling softly. " It isn't too hard, though it takes practice. You just need the right leaf, and a little patience. "
