Yes, I was invited to travel along on an airship with my... upperclassman. The crew's captain collects all manner of eccentric types. I'm still getting used to them all myself... If you've met Yuel, she's one of the captain's many companions.
[ And a good example of how spirited the crew can get. ]
Though, well—I suppose their presence has prepared me for this place. What of your own group?
Ah yes, I was given the privilege of seeing her dance... [ SPEAKING OF DANCERS ]
But my group... isn't very large, but it does certainly possess many eccentric individuals. A thief and a cleric undergoing a pilgrimage from her church, along with a scholar who understands books better than he does people, an apothecary... ah, I suppose I should include the leopard, H'aanit would be most offended if I didn't...
Oh... goodness. I consider myself fortunate as well. You've shown me nothing but good grace and kindness since we've arrived here. [ and harrow is a cutie ]
Ah... [ Well. She's been there, so her frown is a tinge apologetic. ]
Then you have my apologies, for asking something insensitive of you. But your playing really was truly wonderful... and if my dance was pleasing, then I'm glad.
[ she shakes her head, quick to dispel any guilt. ]
No, there's nothing to apologize for. If anything, I should thank you—for helping me find a use for music.
[ she doesn't hate the piano. rather, she feels little at all about it. these things had never held much shine to her—if nothing else, this experience gave her old skills a new context. ]
I would still be glad to play an accompaniment for you at any time. Assuming you'd like to dance, of course.
If you're willing to play, I'm willing to dance. [ And she can reassure her of that fact. Vira doesn't truly seem to mind, which was her one real concern. ]
We might as well enjoy the time we have here together to the best of our abilities, no?

[ condensed eccentricities. the grandcypher team is a strange bunch too, but vira doesn't really know most of the people on the ship. ]
You sound quite close.

I'm relieved that the three of us manage to understand each other, at the very least. And I could never dislike someone who enjoys music so much.

I actually don't. Enjoy it very much, I mean. It was just something I was taught and found I had a talent for.
[ which isn't something she'd usually offer to a near-stranger, but this place has pressed her to be more... generous with details. ]
But I've never gotten to play a song for someone else like that. You certainly made it something... [ she searches for the word ] different.

Indulging in song and dance with you made me happy, but I'll admit I'm a bit out of my element here. I live a very disciplined life back home.
[ it's surprising to her how quickly people here learned to let loose. ]

[ she understands decorum too, but it's a different sort of strictness. ]
Still, it's a similar vein of thinking.
