Yev was so bad at this, he could feel his palms sweating already, he wiped his hands on the legs of his pants and grinned nervously.

"Thank you," he repeated himself. "Uh... it translates loosely to Nursery rhyme of another summer: Afternoon" he said remembering a bit of French from his brief foray into the language. "It's my favorite contemporary song, I usually stick to classical," he admitted.

"Uh... what is your name? Do you want to come in and uh... sit for a while?" he asked awkwardly.

Colby fought back a grin when he thanked her a second time. She didn't think teasing him would be the best idea right now, probably best to wait until they knew each other a bit better.

"It has a kind of classical sound to it, though." Her voice was slightly questioning. She really didn't know that much about music, so she couldn't say for sure.

"You sure I wouldn't be intruding? I didn't want to interrupt your playing or anything..." Still, she stepped a little further into the room with a smile. "My name's Colby, what's yours?"

"It does!" he said excitedly. "That is why I like it so much," he couldn't help but get a little excited and then blushed a bit at his enthusiasm.

"You are not intruding at all," he said kindly. "I was just bored," he smiled. "I'm Yev," he introduced himself. i'm getting batter at this, he thought to himself as the blonde took a step further into the room.

She giggled a little at how animated he got. She got the same way when she talked about surfing and home. "I won't judge you 'cause it's not classical," she grinned at him.

"Nice to meet you, Yev," she beamed. "Do you play any other instruments besides the piano?"

He smiled back, he couldn't help but feel comforted by that little reassurance. "Fair enough," he said brightly.

"It is very nice to meet you too Colby," he said genuinely happy to have meet someone who seemed so nice. "It is just the piano for me," he admitted. "Though I would like to learn another instrument very much," he said. "Do you play?" he asked, his eyes getting big.

Colby shook her head. "Nope, it was always sports and stuff in my family. I can play pretty much any sport, but I don't know anything about playing an instrument. It'd be cool to learn though, probably." She smiled again. "What else would you wanna learn?"

"Anything," he said smiling. "Perhaps the cello, it is always overlooked for the violin," he said thoughtfully. "But it sounds so lovely when given the chance to actually play and act as more than a bass line," he explained.

"I can not play sports though I have been promised tae kwon do lessons," he grinned. "I have terrible balance and I am very clumsy."

She grinned back at him. "Sounds like you've given it a lot of thought. My brother Shane played guitar in this band when he was in high school, but they weren't that good," she admitted with a sheepish smile.

"That'll be awesome though," she enthused. "And it'd definitely help with the balance and everything. I only know a little bit of karate type stuff from my brothers, but I took gymnastics as a kid." She blushed slightly when she realized she was babbling. "But anyway, you can't be too clumsy if you play piano so well."

He beamed. "I have given it some thought, I just never put it to practice," he said rubbing the back of his head.

He couldn't help the bright red flush that crept into his cheeks. "Oh, thank you," he stuffed his hands in his pockets. He was not used to compliments at all. Most of his life he was being told he was not good enough, he was useless... he had to admit, it was a nice change of pace. "Wow! Gymnastics? That takes a lot of discipline," he said his eyes wide. "In Russia it is very much a life time career for the best," he said nodding.
