[ he laughs sheepishly. ]
Yeah actually. Not recently, but I like to take some with me when I travel. Never know when I'm gonna meet someone worthy of them, you know? [ he winks before offering one all galant-like, although he won't make Friday actually have to physically accept it. ] You got your hands full and they're mostly for your sister, but please take at least one for yourself, too, before we leave.
Smells good. Looks like you've been really practicing, Friday.

Oh– [ His eyes widen slightly before his wings close around his cheeks to hide some of the faint coloring there. ] Thank you. I have received many bouquets in the past from fans before but never wooden ones that were so finely and carefully crafted.
[ He slides it into his pocket for now. ]
I feel as though I should make you something in return for the gift, though I am not as skilled in craftwork. Would you be opposed to an original piano composition?

[ oh, that's very cute. ] That sounds lovely, but your piano composition is worth a lot more than a rose, especially to your agency. Would that be okay or would you get in trouble?
Besides ... it's a gift. I appreciate your desire to reciprocate, but I don't give expecting anything in return. So no pressure. That's not to say I won't appreciate whatever you want to offer in turn, but ... I come from a high society family and understand the pressure of etiquette on gifts. I definitely don't want you to feel any of that here between us, yeah?

It would not. I am allowed to do what I want with any music I write and perform in my own time for friends. The agency only owns a modest percentage of what I record and release officially under their label.
[ He motions to Sam to follow as he starts to lead him towards where the bodies of the comatose are slumbering. ]

[ He takes him to where his sister is lying peacefully and checks on the flowers he left. ]
I do not know if you have formally met yet, but this is Ava. Even if you have not, you must know of her music.
...Ava, this is Sam, a kind friend.

[ Sam blinks, going to sit down in one of the seats near her beside as Friday works. He seems to debate, like he's hesitating before saying: ] ]
... Oh, of course you would be siblings with AYU. I'm not sure how I didn't immediately realize that just from your looks, you are siblings through and through. I didn't know she was here, though...I don't think I did, anyway. I'm sorry, this must be hard.

[ He shakes his head gently. ]
It is all right. Not many make the connection right away in spite of our ear wings. Her presence is very magnetic, and her talent in singing and dancing is without compare.
Did you ever get the chance to watch any of her live concerts?

That is kind of you to say, and I wish I could have protected her from this ship and the affliction she is now under. [ He takes her hand in his for a moment. ] I can only hear her voice now from all her songs and recordings...Do you have any siblings yourself?
There is no need to apologize. I am glad you trust me enough to share something so intimate, even if it is disquieting.
[ He stands up and holds his hand out towards Sam. ]
I wish I could bring peace to your heart. I do not know if music could achieve that for you in the same way it has for me.

[ His wings shift around his cheeks. ]
There is no need for you to stress yourself bringing something on my behalf. Coming with me to visit my sister and help keep her company is gift enough. I feel as though she is more stimulated when there are more voices than simply mine to listen to.

[ How embarrassing. Is he really that present-starved? His wings further obscure his face. ]
Yes, something small if you absolutely must. Would you like to try the treats I brought along now? I need your honest opinion on my progress. Please hold nothing back.
