That art inspired you to dust me off, you say? Well, I suppose I can't rightly complain. I appreciate the icons, and the new journal... Well, there's something to be said for a fresh start, isn't there? You and I both know you'll likely never find a proper "home" for me, but that's fine. There's plenty for a homeless muse to do nowadays, and I'm sure having realistic expectations from the get go will benefit us both.

...Though I must admit, I think I'd prefer it if you had something more to say about me than that I inspire you to listen to erhu music. I know you have a certain affection for those of us who have little in the way of canon, but...

-The song is relaxing, and makes the miko wish she had something to drink along with it.-

[But, of course, it also has to come to an end.]

Was my performance satisfactory?

[musou_fuuin]

You've an extraordinary talent, young lady. I am honored to have been your audience.

[gift_of_rui]

[...giggle] Thank you very much. I can't speak of any talent, but I've had a lot of practice.

[musou_fuuin]

Talent, experience, it's the same result in the end.

[gift_of_rui]

Mm, I suppose so. [She bows her head.] Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed my playing.

[musou_fuuin]

And you should count yourself lucky as far as canon materials go. At least you have a name and official appearance. I'm simply an amalgamation of theories and conjectures.

[gift_of_rui]

Hm... I suppose that's true. I didn't mean to complain, really.

[musou_fuuin]

And who knows... maybe he'll revisit you someday.

[gift_of_rui]

Maybe. Maybe not. For now, though, I'm content to make do with things as they are.

[musou_fuuin]

As am I. After all, they're in her hands now. And I think she's doing just fine without us.
