"The door creaked as Estel pushed it open, hinges rusty from disuse. The instrument sat alone in the large room. Estel strode over to it and started wiping off dust as Entrion ducked his head underneath the frame. They both sneezed as the dust escaped into the corners of the room, leaving the once grand instrument slightly cleaner than before.
"'This thing has been sitting here for years now," Estel remarked to his partner as he circled the instrument. "I used to play more when I was younger, but I just...' he stopped, jaw working. 'stopped, I guess. So now it stays here.'
"Entrion stepped over, and ran his hand over the top with reverence, as if one would stroke an old family book. 'Why'd you stop?' He asked. 'Bet you were real good.' He chuckled to himself, but stopped as Estel sat on the seat with extra force.
"'Kidding! Kidding,' Entrion laughed, holding his hands up and backing away from Estel's flat stare. The easy smile faded, replaced with something pensive as Entrion locked eyes with Estel.
"'I don't know, it just... doesn't seem right, y'know?' Entrion finished lamely, limply gesturing to the instrument. 'That something this important's just sitting here, I guess.' He looked at Estel.
"'You should play,' he said, and Estel's face went red. But before he could stammer out a refusal, Entrion pushed on.
"'It doesn't have to be good, but it's only right, isn't it? You should just play something small. It'll only be the two of us if you're worried about suckin'.' He laughed harder as Estel stared at him, his face more pensive than before.
"Estel's gaze hardened as he turned to face the keys. 'I won't be any good,' he warned. 'I'm rusty.'
"'Don't matter one bit to me,' said Entrion. 'Just wanna hear ya play.'
"Estel stared down at the ivory keys, still as bright as the day he saw the instrument taken to the lower chambers. Beside him, he could hear the shuffling of a long coat and felt the warmth of another body leaning into his shoulder.
"He took a deep breath, and his fingers began to move as if on their own."
