A Walk at Sunset (Noah)

[Ravyn Rozanova]

Her mouth tightened and she shrugged at his question. "It's very possible. I've heard a lot of rumors, so they may or may not be true, but he's not exactly the loyal type. I wouldn't be surprised. I'll just keep an eye on it, I don't want Mia to get hurt. She can be really fragile." Ravyn didn't know about Mia's history, but there was obviously something that had happened in her life to make her the way she was. "Thanks for the advice," she added. If he hadn't shown such interest, she might not have accepted the seriousness of the situation.

She gave him a sideways look and smiled. "That's true, but other people I know could use wishes too." She sat up a bit more as he adjusted the strings, until she was sitting cross-legged with her wings splayed out behind her. It was fun to have musical friends, and she bobbed her head along as he began to play.

Clapping when she recognized the tune, she hummed along, catching his gaze and grinning widely. Once more, she had to wonder how much truth was behind his song choice, especially since she had asked his heart's desire. After the chorus was complete, she chimed in with the "Whoa, oh-oh oh, oh, oh-oh, to my stereo," part. It was funny how often they broke into song and dance together; it added so many special moments to their friendship. She broke into laughter soon afterwards, leaning over to rest on his shoulder as she sighed contentedly. "I'm so glad we're friends," she told him, staring down at his hands on the Ukulele. "And that what I did last year... You know, didn't ruin it."

For the most part he broke into a disjointed melody after she chimed in. The most important part to it was the chorus; it was the part Noah had wanted to sing in her direction. He allowed her to lean against him as he changed his style, plucking along the strings instead of full on strumming. He hoped the idle sounds of the instrument weren't ruining the mood of the night. He added to it by humming along idle riffs within the scale.

Noah kept his eyes on the stars, not needing to look at his hands again. And not really wanting to look at her in the moment either. He smiled inwardly, stifling any laughter that threatened to pass through his mouth. "Don't worry about it," He said quietly, "You were hurting, and I was just there. I get it."
