[He's still hesitant, but.. damn if that kiss isn't good motivation. He's a little starstruck for a moment before he blinks back into reality.]

You're not gonna judge me on what I get, are you?

[finethanks]

Of course not. I'm quite interested in seeing what qualities Jamie looks for in an instrument. It will tell me a lot about him, I think.

[He coughs again a few times into his hand, but he still looks so pleased about it.]

[smokedout]

[Yeah, remember when his face was pink? It's bright red down, and he has to hold back a sarcastic laugh.]

Then, uh- be prepared to get most of this back. I'm just gonna get something that looks like the one I had back- in Boston.

[He'd nearly said 'back home', but... Boston was decidedly not home. His hometown, yes, but not a home in the least.]

[finethanks]

There's more character to an instrument that's more affordable, I think. Even if all of the strings can't be properly tuned, it has a heart of sorts that I enjoy hearing. I wonder, will Jamie play with his heart as well?

[He wants to heaaaaar it.] If you could bring some warmth to this dull hospital room, I'd appreciate it.

[smokedout]

[He's stopped being able to look at Eichi, but there's a grin spreading over his face that he can't help. A big, dorky grin, at the prospect of getting a guitar all to himself.]

Just- I'm rusty so don't expect it to be-

[Fuck, who knows, maybe the older version of him has had some practice. But... ugh, he's so nervous now.]

-If you bitch too much about it I'll send you back here, y'know.

[finethanks]

Rather than that, prove me wrong by improving so clearly that I can't help but admit your growth.

[School him, he'd love it. But Eichi chuckles, and coughs again, clutching at his chest this time. Ah, he's really not doing well after all. He was hoping it would be a one day thing again, but... this might be him stuck here for a while.]

[smokedout]

[Dodger frowns when Eichi starts coughing again... he feels like he's being left an inheritance, and he hates that.]

Just- promise you're gonna get better soon, alright? I'm not playing for you in the hospital, it'll creep me out.

[finethanks]

That's a shame. I was looking forward to it lifting my spirits.

[He once had his servants drag his piano into the hospital room to have Leo play for him, so. He's just like this. His hand stays over his chest with another cough, but he nods.]

I promise. ♪ [It's so easy to say things like that without really knowing if they'll be true.]
