The Priah
The girl thanked her and sat nearby, far enough away so that Eryn - with her tendency to be 'socially retarded' and generally awkward in actual conversations -- was not struck as uncomfortable in the slightest. At the girl's compliment of her name, Eryn blushed slightly, a warm glow sparking behind her cheeks as she nodded once and uttered a below-breath 'thanks'. The girl went on, Eryn took notice of her quaint mannerisms, simply observing, "I don't recall seeing you around much. Then again, I'm not too good with remembering names.." She shrugged and strummed as Eryn looked over at her through more than the corner of her eyes, with piqued curiosity, her music away now, "I only just transferred, so it makes sense why you wouldn't know me."
Eryn managed a shrug of her own and leaned her head against the tree, closing her eyes and listening to the few chords the girl plucked at mindlessly, it was oddly comforting, "Any song requests? I can play by ear.." Eryn's eyes fluttered open again to look at the freckled girl,
"Generally, my taste in music is rather loud, electric guitars and what not. They might sound a little odd in this acoustic manner, but do you happen to know any Evanescence songs? Oh! Or would you like to follow me in a Zelda tune?" She smiled again slightly and drew her ocarina from the sac with the label, 'Bag of Holding' on the front of it. She put the blue wind instrument to her lips and played a short three notes before pulling it away and grinning. The girl replied by playing along, and following that they continued to play and talk. It was nice, Eryn, who had been alone for the vast majority of her time here was able to feel really accepted now that she'd actually spoken to one of her classmates instead of simply freaking kids out in the hallways with a silent friendly smile or a mute careless wave. She was back at home now, the school day done, doing dishes with her headphones plugged in and just finishing up her chores. The house was swept, so Alyss wouldn't have to worry about that when she came home, dinner was done and grandpa was being tended to by his daughter. Eryn was finishing up the last of the pans when a twitter notification on her phone interrupted the vocalist playing in her ears, silencing her favorite part of the song to a dull whisper for a moment.
She sighed in mild annoyance and finished her scrubbing, hurrying to rinse of the dish, put it on the rack and then begin drying and putting the small mountain away. When she was about a quarter through her music was interrupted again by a small 'ping' in her ears, she stopped, dish midway to the cupboard. The qirl blinked slowly as if in utterly disbelief, it seemed like it had been an eternity since she'd heard that comely sound, honestly, she wasn't overly taken aback. She was simply dramatizing the moment for herself as if to emphasize to her non-existent audience the monumental weight this sound bore for her, quickly she put the dish away and dried her hands. The asian girl pulled her earphones out and summoned her phone from it's place in the pockets of her sweatpants, on the front of her screen half a message from Joanie went on, curiously Eryn slide her finger across the screen to unlock it and read the text with a small smile before starting up a reply, "I was undecided, tempted though. I had thought to go, in order to expand my social circle, but I mean, lounging around the house acting as the manifestation of laziness is pretty tempting as well."
She smirked at herself, seeing as Eryn thought her own sense of humor was divine. Quickly she looked over her statement to make sure her own clumsy fingers or auto-correct hadn't screwed anything up before clicking send. Good grammar was something Eryn always did in everything, it was a habit to write over the internet, or texting etc, just how she would speak and act were she there in person. Behind a screen, Eryn wasn't the type to say anything she wouldn't to the face of another, it was an odd bravery of hers, a personal honor code she abided by, "In any case, if you go, I'm there" She typed in quickly after wards, sending it over to her, returning to her dish drying duties as she waited for a reply.
