Hearing Lerato’s request to hear the song, Azura let off a sigh to release the tension he would feel. Right before he had his guitar ready, Azura has readied himself. Just as he was close, he noticed a student walk in. It was Ivar Tyr who was in the same combat class as him. He didn’t know much about him, but he didn’t seem like that much of a bad guy. Oh, you’re not late. Half of the class didn’t come in either. it was then that Azura has readied his guitar pick and began to strum on the strings. As he played the song.
I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside Oh yeah, oh yeah. I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide Oh no, oh no, oh no. Yeah, I've got a feeling. Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train Oh yeah, oh yeah. And if you leave me I won't be late again Oh no, oh no, oh no. Yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah. All these years I've been wandering around, Wondering how come nobody told me All that I was looking for was somebody Who looked like you. I've got a feeling, that keeps me on my toes Oh yeah, oh yeah. I've got a feeling, I think that everybody knows Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah. Yeah Ev'rybody had a hard year Ev'rybody had a good time Ev'rybody had a wet dream, Ev'rybody saw the sunshine Oh yeah, oh yeah. Ev'rybody had a good year, Ev'rybody let their hair down, Ev'rybody pulled their socks up, Ev'rybody put their foot down. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah I've got a feeling A feeling deep inside Oh yeah, oh yeah. I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide Oh no Oh no no no Yeah yeah yeah yeah I've got a feeling I've got a feeling
as he finished, he let off a sigh to calm himself. Lerato was an expert at music, so he’d know if something was wrong with Azura’s performance or not.

The little demonstration would have begun if it wasn't for Ivar dropping by, apologizing for the tardiness. Lerato sighed, having no mood to chastise the person even further. "He's right; others may be in the other elective classes since they have a maximum of two choices." After that talk, he listened intently to the song, his expression mostly nonchalant but not without concentration. There was the little creasing of both his eyebrows as he mentally calculated on what to say as commentary for the effort. At the question from Azura, that was when the court mage raised his own chin a little, looking at the first-year student square in the eye. "May I ask how long have you have been playing the guitar, Azura? Based on the tuning, your guitar skills need some more work for improvement but you do have some potential. I will have to see which specific key points you need to improve for adjustments."
He then turned his attention on Ivar. "So, what you want to learn today? Practical or written lessons? I'm all ears."
Lelyna knew she was going to arrive late to class, but it couldn’t be helped. Mikhail hadn’t arrived to pick her up to escort her to class this morning. She had been a little disappointed, but she knew that he could have had something else to do. It was also possible that he hadn’t been able to sneak into the girl’s dorms, or maybe he’d simply over slept. In any case, Lelyna made her own way to the music classroom, her hand trailing over the familiar walls as she slowly walked along. The Academy was relatively quiet, telling her that other classes were either already underway or just getting started.
Releasing a small sigh, she smiled to herself. Mikhail had said he loved her…The realization that he loved her and she loved him, it was profound. His friendship and companionship meant the world to her, but to have his heart as well? It was unbelievable. How had she been so lucky to win the affections of such a lovely man? Yes, Mikhail could be abrasive and grumpy, but Lelyna hoped to help him open up a bit more. It was possible, he did have other friends after all…Kayl was the perfect example. Mikhail just needed someone to help him make connections.
With this thought in mind, Lelyna quietly entered the music classroom. She heard Professor Lerato speaking to one of the students. Not wanting to cause any more of an interruption that she already had, she didn’t say anything as she took a seat near the door. Lerato was well aware of her condition and the fact that she took much longer to get to class because of her lack of sight, so more often than not Lelyna didn’t get into trouble for being tardy – she just couldn’t help it. Sitting up straight, she settled her hands in her lap. Eyes closed, she listened patiently, eager to hear the music of her peers. Hopefully Mikhail would arrive soon…
Listening to the song, Ivar could see why the boy was chosen to perform for the festival. Ivar found himself a little bit infatuated with the guy's voice, a little smile formed on his face as he watched the performance. His eyes darted towards the teacher who seemed to not show much emotion during the performance. Ivar hated when he did that because you never knew if you were doing a good job or not until the end of the performance. Ivar could see why he did it but it made him feel un-easy when performing. The song ended and Ivar smiled and clapped "Nicely done Azura! You make me wish I had not missed your performance now at the fesival! But i'm so glad I got to hear that!" he exclaimed with delight towards the boy.
It was after this that Mr Sanchez had turned round to Ivar asking what he wanted from the lesson. Ivar was too fussed so long as he wasn't expected to be as good as Azura. "Well I guess we could practice today since everyone seems to have their instruments out now?" he suggested. Ivar's instrument of choice was the piano as that is what he was taught to play from a young age. His mother had him privately but Ivar never really excelled as she had hoped. He was just below average skill wise and he had little to no refinment in his technique so he always sloppy when he played.
He noticed another student who had also entered late. Ivar recognised her as he had seen her before always with a fellow student. He knew she was blind from her demenior and from what he was told. Even though she was blind she was a very beautifle girl, Ivar wondered if the other student was her boyfriend or secret admirer.
It would make sense that Lerato would know what was wrong with Azura's guitar playing. In reality, he knew that there were some parts of his performance that would seem a bit off to others who were well inclined into music, and others who saw it and thought nothing of it. Oh, um... Five years, sir. Azura said to him truthfully, as he listened to what Lerato would have to say in terms of his assessment. At least he said that he had potential, which was a good thing. Well, to be honest I kinda have trouble getting the perfect notes down. Sometimes they come a little too flat or too sharp... Azura said, somewhat embarrassed. It was then, that a lady had walked into the room. She was slender and petite, yet her eyes had this vague look to it. It was kind of mysterious to him, as they looked exactly like Sokea's when they fought once. She was blind, but was walking normally. When Ivar had asked to practice on the piano, Azura knew that he'd have to practice more with his notes.

Lerato nodded in response to the talk from Azura. "Some guitarists prefer changing the tune to compliment well with their preference or skill level, as well as their voice range. You may need an accessory to help you with that problem, such as the capo that can be attached to the neck. Try it to see if that fits well to your taste." It was then that Lelyna showed up, though again, she was late but he was in no mood to be a bit too condescending. "Greetings, Lelyna. What is your current plan for today's lesson?"
And seeing that Ivar was intending to practice on a piano piece, that was when Lerato sauntered after keeping the clarinet safe in its case. The court mage looked through the available compilations of piano compositions fit for specific skill levels."So, any piece in mind that you want to work on? I may find something that you are looking for or I'll recommend something else instead."
"Ok, I would prefer that too if you think it'll be ok," Kayl answered just as Mihkail led him into the music room. At first Kayl was a bit apprehensive, as he didn't want to disturb the class, but when he noted that although some students were only just getting situated with their instruments, he realized none of them had actually started to practice yet and felt a bit better about intruding. "Forgive me for intruding," Kayl said while bowing to the teacher of the classroom and standing straight up once more. "Might I have a quick word with one of your students?" He asked before looking around the room and finding Lelyna sitting patiently. He nodded at the teacher, a quiet promise to be quick, and then head over to the table with Mihkail in tow.
"Lelyna, it's Kayl," He said while taking a seat beside her and smiling lightly with a sigh. "Sorry this is sudden, and will likely be just as quick, as I do not wish to interrupt your class. I just wanted to see you personally today, and apologize for yesterday. I know I didn't do anything wrong, per say, but I still felt badly about the days events when I woke this morning," He said as he looked down at the table and thought about the rest of the day as well. "I was also supposed to walk with you after class, and I didn't... and I hold no excuses for my bad behavior. I am sorry, and hope you can forgive me," he said quietly, trying to keep their conversation amongst themselves, both so that he wasn't sharing their conversation with the rest of the world, but also not to interrupt the others.

Lelyna sighed a little, hearing Professor Lerato’s sharp tone. She knew he didn’t like interruptions in his class, but she couldn’t help it. “Once the piano is free, I’ll practice my latest piece, Professor.” She replied, hoping this was a satisfactory answer. The piano was one of the few instruments that she felt confident playing without her eye sight. While she wasn’t a master musician, she did have a talent for it. She could hear tones within the notes that few could. She played by ear, of course, and was quick to replicate the sounds she heard and make them her own. It seemed unorthodox for her to take a music class, but Lelyna enjoyed it and the students didn’t seem to mind her presence, Mikhail certainly enjoyed her playing.
Sitting silently, Lelyna heard the door open again. Wondering if it was Mikhail arriving late as well, she was surprised to hear Kayl’s voice as he addressed Lerato and apologized for interrupting. Curious as to whom Kayl would need to speak to, she listened as his footsteps came closer to her. She heard a second set of familiar footsteps and knew that Mikhail must have led him to the classroom. When Kayl took a seat next to her and told her whom he was she couldn’t help but smile to herself. Did he not think she’d recognize his voice?
As he spoke, Lelyna smiled. Kayl was such a gentleman. She hadn’t expected an apology for yesterday – he’d been upset and having a bad day, she’d understood his need for space. When he spoke of his hope that she’d forgive him, she reached out, seeking his hand. Once she found it, she grasped it in her own, tilting her head toward him as she spoke. “There is no need for an apology, Kayl, but I accept it and if it would sooth your heart, I offer my forgiveness as well.” She whispered, knowing that Professor Lerato was likely getting more irritated by the moment.
“I only hope, that one day, you will think of me as your dear friend…and that there will come a time when you can confide in me and seek my aid, if you feel you need it.” Offering him a smile, she opened her eyes to let him see them. While she might not be able to see him, he’d be able to see the sincerity in her gaze and her expression. Grasping his hand for a moment longer, she released him and closed her eyes again, not wanting to make him uncomfortable with the extended contact or her grey, dull eyes.
Tilting her head to the other side, she angled her ear toward Mikhail, a small smirk on her face. With her other hand, she patted the spot on her other side, silently indicating that she wanted him to sit next to her. She had no doubt that he wouldn’t have taken the seat on his own, but it didn’t hurt to let him know that she wanted him to sit next to her.
When Azura mentioned that he had been practicing for five years, Ivar felt a little bad for not being more skilled musically. Then again we was being bombarded with a ton of lessons back then and the piano was not a priority on his mother's agenda. Then again it would come in useful at social affairs and if Ivar practiced on his timing, that could in theory translate to combat which was something he was invested in fully.
Ivar's attention was temporarily diverted to one more late comer, the boy that girl was always seen with. This was the first time Ivar had seen him up close, he wonered if the girl knew how good looking he was. Ivar grinned a little as he watched the boy take his seat. he turned back to the lesson and to Azura's conversation wwith Mr Sanchez. Ivar knew he would have to play something but he had no preference when it came to songs. Mr Sanchez finally asked him if he had a piece in mind and Ivar firmly shook his head. "No sir I do not have a preference, I will let you choose a piece you feel is suitable or my.....current skill level," he said as he blushed from slight embarrassment.
Once they made it to the music room, Mikhail opened the door and allowed Kayl to enter first. Quietly shutting the class entrance, he glanced around to see who was present already. As expected, a good number of students were already there, warming up or practicing. Mikhail walked toward the Professor and gave a nod toward the older male. ”Good morning, I have a friend that would like to ask a quick question. It is something of importance.” Stepping back, he glanced toward Kayl so that he could tell Lerato why he was here, despite not having the music class. The prince looked around and spotted Lelyna who was sitting quietly and listening as the other students did their own things. Mikhail motioned with his head toward her as Kayl nodded toward Lerato and made her way to the female.
”I suppose I’ll get to practicing then. Apologies for bringing him here. He needed to speak with Lelyna about an important matter so I thought it best to take him here so he could have it done.” Mikhail with a neutral expression, stepped away from Lerato and made his way to get his violin. Usually, he would sit down near Lelyna and have a chat with her. He would even play some songs for her. But since Kayl needed to speak with her, he thought it would be best to leave them be. He trusted Kayl. If it were anyone else, he’d be practically breathing down their necks. But with his dear friend, he knew that he would get by with just taking a few glances.
As the male played a random song on his violin, he stole glances at Kayl and Lelyna. From what he saw, it was going quite well. He seemed to be sincerely sorry, despite not doing really anything. Of course, Lelyna was as calm and kind as always. When she grasped his hand in hers, he blinked and continued with his music. Normally, he would have blown someone’s face off, but he trusted both of them. Kayl was one of the exceptions to his full wrath. Though if he went in for a hug, a prince would have to slide in really quick. When he noticed Lelyna angling her head toward where he was, he stopped playing and looked at her. The male made his way to her and sat next to her where she had patted for him Kissing her cheek, he said a small ‘good morning‘ before moving to look at both her and Kayl. ”I trust everything is alright now? Everything was settled?”

As the two were grouping together for the piano, Azura sat back and watched them be all excited. Soon, he heard the door open and along entered Kayne. With Kayne, Azura was excited for because he always did consider him a friend, even if they met two days ago. Still, Azura is pretty trusting, since he doesn't have that many friends in general through out his life. Waving at them while smiling, Azura noticed something a bit off about Kayle. The girl Lelyna and him were talking to each other, yet Azura couldn't make out what they were both saying. Was it possible that they were both in some type of problem? For some reason, Azura just had that urge to help, but he didn't want to seem too nosy on their situation. Later, he'd have to find Kayle and ask him about the conversation just now. It was then that Mikhail entered the room, and Azura's attitude went straight south. All he could do, is just look at him with disgust and glare. Mostly because of who he is, and the whole "Family issues" that transpired at the execution block some years ago, is why he couldn't even stand the sight of him and Catherine. What was weird, is Mikhail walking in on the two's conversation. He'd have to give off a shrug as he would focus on back to his music. Practicing his scales, Azura would then take out a piece of paper from his notebook and write down possibilities for a song he could write to Julia when he sees her later.

Listening intently to Lelyna's words, her kindness could not have softened his heart anymore. He was grateful that she was so understanding, and even more so that she called him her friend. When Mihkail walked over to add his two cents, Kayl couldn't help but look at him with a semi-sarcastic face, shaking his head in amusement before shrugging and answering. "Yes, yes, as if you had any doubts," Kayl said almost jokingly. Mihkail certainly knew her better then he, and he had said that it would likely be ok when they were leaving their dorm. Turning to Lelyna then, Kayl took her hand in his, cupping it gently inbetween his hands as he bowed lightly to her. "Thank you Lelyna..."
With that, Kayl let her go and stood up, straightening out his tunic, and turning his sword to its rightful place. He looked back over at the teacher for a moment who he was sure might have been eyeballing him at the moment, and then looked back at Mihkail and Lelyna. "Ok, let me get out of here before your teacher's face starts to boil," he said jokingly as he quickly patted Mihkail's back, and softly nudged Lelyna's shoulder. "I'll see you guys later," he said before starting to head to the classroom door. Before he left the room, Kayl looked back and noticed Azura sitting at the side of the piano, waving. Kayl quickly set back a wave at him, saying hi as he was passing through the class before looking back at the teacher. He bowed deeply and apologetically to him, showing great respect. "Thank you for your kindness!" he said before stepping out the door, and leaving the music room, heading out to his originally planned destination while placing one hand on his sword expectantly.

It turned out that aside from the practice, there seemed to be a personal talk going on with Lelyna and he had no right to intrude, just not yet, especially when it was something important. But still, even with that interesting way to spice up the day that would otherwise be boring, Lerato's look remained nonchalant, and he saw Azura taking down notes for another piece that he would be performing later on. "Let me know if you need assistance on that next piece, alright?" After that, he handed one of the books to Ivar, the one containing piano pieces for intermediate levels. "I believe this may work for you."
With most of the things settled, Lerato was now tempted to ask what was going on with Mikhail and Lelyna that led to the talk with that noble. But no, that may have to wait till another time; there was still the pep talk tomorrow with Kayne and the advisor.

”As expected~ I truly never doubted you both. You could say me asking the obvious was my way of being “concerned” and “nice”….” He playfully gagged at the word nice and then shook his head with a chuckle. ”But on a more serious note, I’m glad everything was worked out quick and easy. I knew that something like this good easily be talked over and forgiven.” He smiled a bit before watching as Kayl took Lelyna’s hand in his and thanked her. As always, he was ever the gentleman. But seeing how long it’s been, the prince hoped that a certain professor wasn’t getting cranky. Lerato wasn’t really one to appreciate interruptions. Despite Kayl having a good reason, Mikhail knew that the older male wanted to get down to business.
As if on cue, Kayl glanced at the professor, as did Mikhail. The prince chuckled and rolled his eyes at Kayl’s statement. While he didn’t mind the Professor at all, seeing his angered face would be quite amusing. But who were they to press his buttons when it wasn’t necessary. ”I’ll see you back at the dorm.” Standing, Mikhail placed his violin on his seat and reached out to pat Kayl’s back in return. Stepping back, he allowed him to bid Lelyna a goodbye. ”Farewell." Nodding, his golden eyes watched as the male moved to leave, of course not before apologizing to Lerato and thanking him.
”Good man.” Stretching his arms out, he leaned down and pressed a chaste kiss on Lelyna’s lips. ”I trust you rested well, my love.” He ran a hand through her hair affectionately, quickly pulling away before anyone started assuming things about his character. Grabbing his violin, he looked around at the other students before looking back at Lelyna, ”Are we doing anything specific? Or are we just playing?”

Today everyone seemed to be turning up late or interupting the class. Ivar sighed as yet another person entered the classroom. This person he did not recognise so he went back to his practicing. The teacher did not seem to intervene so Ivar assumed it was ok for the man to be here. Ivar took the book Mr Sanchez had handed him. He flicked through the pages and scanned across the paper to see if any songs stood out. He saw one and nodded. "I think I know which one I wish to try out," he said before seting the book down on the stand and taking a seat infront of the piano. He quickly stretched out his arms and rested his fingers on several different keys to play his song. He managed to complete the piece with some difficulty and he knew his timing was off a little during the second half. He wondered what else he had gotten wrong as he slowly turned round to the teacher almost wincing in anticipation of a scolding.
