Alameth sat outside Perseous room, in the hall one knee pulled up the other stretched out in front of him, his eyes were closed as he listened to the music that came from behind the door.

Alexis walked up slowly to Perseus's room, head down, eyes closed as she listened to the music. She was dressed casually, a raw, white silk shirt tucked into black breeches which were then tucked into black, thigh high boots. A dark blue vest was left open over her shirt, and a belt was wrapped twice around her waist, daggers and pouch hanging off it. Her long hair was pulled back into a low ponytail. Her head came up as she smelt Alameth, and with a nod of greeting, she slid to sit opposite him, closing her eyes again to listen to Perseus.

Perseus's raw emotion flowed vividly through the piano's keys. Emotion. The very thing that should have marked his death by Prufalas's hand, but music became his outlet. He expressed himself through it and he has been finding himself playing his enchanting notes more often. It was his way of venting out his feelings without letting it affect his duties as an Elite. If anything, it was better than intoxicating himself. The brewery became a good friend of his, before, when his piano was not available to him for that period of time. But even then he has always shown up to training sober and ready to fight for his Pack to the death. His notes echoed out a fairy tale story; one he wished he lived in, but knew he would never get the chance to see. Despite everything he has been through he was able to actually smile and at least say that he survived. He was more serine and focused now than ever. It was as if he walked through hell and came back a new entity. A new entity that was more focused, ready, calm, collected, and deadly all at the same time. His notes chanted his new found serenity and he was pleased with its triumphant sound.

Alameth opened his eyes as the scent of Alexis reached him, he gave the faintest of nods in recognition of her ,as he eased his head back once more allowing the music to fill him, in his mind he rode every tempo to its crest and flowed back out with it as if it were a receding tide. Alemeth then stood grabbing the guitar that was at his side he opened Perseus door as he began to strum his fingers across the strings he learned enough of Perseus's music and memorized it, so they played in unison. He gave a tiny smile to the man playing the piano, leaving Alexis in the hall to listen.

Perseus was too trapped within his own melody to notice the new addition who joined in suddenly. He then heard the guitar's strings strum along with his piano's notes. His topaz eyes opened and he stared at the young Prince playing his instrument. He gave off his half-smile as the young boy played along with him. It was nice to find someone else who acknowledged and understood the secret tongue of the musical arts. The guitar's captivating sound was all too familiar to Perseus. Perseus played many instruments but piano and guitar were second nature to him.

He continued to play as he took a few more tentative steps towards Perseus, then in a bold move he moved the guitar to his back and sat beside the man, his slightly smaller hands began to play the keys opposite of Perseus but his eyes remained on the older mans expression as they began to play a sort of Piano duet.

Alexis let her head drop back against the wall, body lose and relaxed as she listened to the music. She had grown fond of such things during her travels, and it had been so long since she had heard anything.

Perseus was taken by surprise when the Prince joined in playing the piano. He looked at the boy while feeling the keys and playing accordingly. He examined the Prince slightly and laughed with slight joy rising as he started playing more passionately then before. Two musicians are better than one. The tune expressed a great deal about both of them through the very sound of the rhythm. It was truly enchanting to both the audience and to Perseus as well. It was also an honor to play music with the Prince.

Alameths smile grew, he was enjoying the game of it no longer playing exactly as Perseus was but putting his own twist on it, indeed adding an implement of him self into the music, his thigh brushed against the older mans a few times as he continued to play, then just as suddenly his hands left the keys and he stood before Perseus, his grin reaching his eyes, when the music stopped he spoke. "It has been fun to join you."

During the last few notes he enjoyed hearing the interesting twist the Prince put on the song, not even noticing his thigh brush up against him. As the music ended Perseus chuckled a bit and let go of the keys turning in his chair to look up at the Prince. "It's been an honor to play with the Prince." His half-smile reflected the happy mood that floated in the air. He stood up from the piano bench and looked down at the Prince now, "Where'd you learn to play, m'lord?" Perseus hasn't met many others who could speak the complicated instrumental tongue, and he was surprised that someone younger than him was so good at it. But then again he supposed talent was something that ran threw the Prince's blood.

"I taught myself to play, music has always been an interest of mine. " His eyes took in the large room. "Your room is big enough to accommodate two people, normally rooms are smaller than this, is there a reason yours is so large?" He asked curiously unaware of Perseus story of place within the pack, he had only met the man once so he had been told and that was on the day of his birth.

Perseus nodded, "I see music interest a lot of people but many can fully grasp its reason." He looked around the room, and he thought it was a pretty average sized room, but Perseus remembers his earlier years in the Pack when he was given one of the normal rooms of regular mercenaries. "I'm part of the Elite Guards. These rooms are normal for us I suppose." He chuckled and caught wind of Alexis's fresh scent on him. He glanced toward the hall then back at the Prince. "do you play anything else besides guitar and piano?" He asked while strolling off to the kitchen to get some refreshments for the three of them. "Aleixs, if you wish you may come in."

"I'm teaching myself to play a basic flute when I have free time, Ive been busy since Alexis has taken over my brothers and I's training, she is a tough teacher but I admire her. " He looked towards the door." I'm not just saying it because she can hear me, it is the truth. Besides I am almost certain she could smell a lie and would have me begging for mercy, she still would if she thought I needed to be put in my place. " His gaze returned once more to Perseus looking up at him as he returned with food and drinks.

"The flute...One of the instruments I haven't learned to play yet. Interesting." He chuckled when he heard the Prince talk about Lady Alexis, "Yes Lady Alexis can get what she wants easily. I've encountered her persuasive abilities before. She practically froze me solid over a cell phone." Perseus laughed and handed the Prince some refreshments and snacks while taking some for himself. The rest waited for Alexis whenever she decided to join. "Well if you are going to be trained to become Alpha you might as well be trained by the best."

"Hello, Flatterers. And thank you." Alexis's voice drifted ahead of her as she pushed the door open. Her eyes were a darker blue than usual, colored with amusement. "The music was beautiful."
