Yes. Why would I come listen to you again?

It breaks up the monotony... and with a little more practice perhaps you'll even like it.

I need the stage for my own preparations. If you happen to play during that I won't complain.

[ tilts his head, ] Preparations, you putting on a show?

I am.

You'll come to see it.

I will, but let me ask you... why are you putting it on? For the benefit of others?

It came up during a conversation with Alexander. And it has been a while since I last performed. It's for my own benefit.

[ bud,
you make no sense. ]

I see. Perhaps I can play something for you and you alone sometime, assuming you'd like to perform again.

... I will need music accompaniment. The idea is to perform a sword dance. If you can play well enough by then I'll let you perform with me.

Did you have a piece in mind? I'll be sure to learn it. [ he moves away from the piano. ] But it might be easier if I simply become human shaped for this... since I'd hate to disappoint. [ chuckles. ] Give me a few minutes. [ brb. returning human. ]

I don't know music from other worlds and I don't play the piano. Propose a few pieces to me and I'll see if you're worth having on stage.

[ staring at him once he's back ]

That's it?
