Aclyma almost got up to join Forge, only to catch him playing beautifully on the piano. Needless to say, Aclyma stopped her train of thoughts and resumed her position in her chair. Her chin now on the edge of the chair, her arms stretched themselves outwards as she waved the triangle restlessly. "Ding ding", she murmured to herself.

But serenading her teacher. Really.
Aclyma was as dumbfounded by the idea of the tasked as she was confused by instruments. And that was greater than the amazement for the teacher turning into a dragon. Perhaps the idea of breakfast held more weight than the amazement.

"I suppose the faster the teacher fell asleep, the faster we can leave..."
She shrugged light, her fingers twirling rthe triangle still.

Forge looked at Aclyma again. She didn't yet have a partner. He took one hand away from the piano, almost messed up the tune, quickly recovered and then waved her over. "Know this one?" he asked her. It was a fairly simple piece, but required a measure of concentration. And a single slip-up could make it sound absolutely dreadful. Luckily, he'd made no mistakes... as far as he knew. It had been a long time since he'd played the piano, much longer since he'd last heard the tune. But still, it sounded good, do that was a bonus.

Forge waved her over... much to her surprise.
What could she do to enhance his piece that he was playing with a triangle?! With that she prayed he wasn't hoping too much from her ability with the triangle since the reason why she picked it up was because of the simplicity of the instrument.

"I don't know this piece," the white haired female quietly admitted in a whisper, "But i should be able to mimick it if you play it once fully."

Forge nodded, rubbed his eyes and started from the start after a pause. It took him slightly less than three minutes to play the entire thing through. There were still ten minutes left to practice. "Okay, now you." he whispered. "Shouldn't be too hard." he said encouragingly and gave her a rare full-smile.

Jack was sitting in his seat, analyzing which of the remaining students would make a good contribution, when James appeared beside him. "Hi! I'm your friend now, so lets get to practicing!" James immediately began tuning his fiddle, while Jack stared dumbfounded at him. But he too started to plan strategies with James about a good piece of music to play. Once they had agreed on a very, very old piece of music James had pulled out of his hat, they started to practice. And even though James was many years younger than Jack, Jack felt like he had found a brother he'd never had.

Winter walked into the music room to find everyone working on an Instrument with a partner she walked up to the teacher "Do I really need to do this?" She had played Violin and piano as a child but she hasn't played either one since her parents passed there wasn't enough time for school and to take care of Andrew.

Andrew walked out of his Combat class and walked to his next class he took a minute to remember what class it was but he knew it he just wanted to go to the music room because he remembered how much Winter loved playing as a little girl but he wasn't sure if it was still there. He walked into the music room Calmly pretending he was in the right class so he could get to hear winter play again if she played it.

Mira did pretty well with most instruments so she didn't really know what to pick so she just grabbed a random one and it appeared to be a violin, she was practicing a calming albeit loud type of music.

Ben was still in his Combat class, he saw the late boy leave while wondering why.

Aclyma stared blankly at Forge and his suddenly beautiful full-smile.

Was this person kidding.

The girl slowly looked down at the triangle and frowned at him. She was displeased. Was he mocking her? Getting back at her from their previous encounter? Was it the fight?
Regardless, Aclyma regarded Forge highly, to be able to either subtly challenge her to do the near impossible.

Off timing, eyes pinned at the man, Aclyma picked up the metal stick that came with the triangle and... hit the metal triangle once.
"Ding."

Forge saw Aclyma frown and stopped playing, confused. "We could play some other piece if you wanted. I mean, a triangle might limit your options." he said. Maybe Interlude was a bit tough on the triangle? He had no experience with the instrument. All he knew was you hit a thing with a stick and the thing made a metallic noise. "Why don't you pick a tune this time?" he offered.

(Music class so far, teacher turns into dragon, student's job to put her to sleep.)

"It's okay." she muttered, settling the triangle down. Any other instrument would've been too complicated. "Just play the thing you play."

She stood by the piano and rested her abdoment against the black body of the piano, looking... like she was about to give up. She'll just have to sing, it seems. It's something that would be much easier to control and doesn't need as much knowledge. She'd have to change if her pitch was different, and due to some work she had to do before, Aclyma was confident in doing that much.

"In three..."

"Two..."

The female anticipated the sound of the piano.

Forge started playing, his fingers dancing over the keys. He'd seen Aclyma put the triangle aside and had guessed that she was about to start singing. He wondered about that. From what he remembered, the song he was playing had no words and was just a tune.

"Time's Up!" The teacher said. Closing her eyes, she pointed at the group to go first, which, coincidentally, was Forge and Alcyma. Aria smiled.

Frank hurried over to his next class, which was Alchelmy.

When the teacher stayed silent she guessed she had to do it "OK then.." She said turning away and Saw Andrew in the class "What are you doing here " She mouthed to him

Andrew had been found out but he just grinned and mouthed back "Watching you now go!" As he shooed her away

She walked over to where Andrew and everyone else was and watched.. she was too worried about the fact she was gonna fail in front of the whole class 'I can't do this well not alone at least but I know no one else except Andrew who isn't even supposed to be here" She started to breath Heavily.

Whatever timing was, it was on their side. The moment the Forge placed his fingers to run gracefully across the white and black tiles, the teacher had pointed for them to go first. However, it was on cue with the piano that Aclyma dropped her first note.

Her voice resonated beautifully with the sound of the piano as both sounds intertwined to emit a serene yet haunting atmosphere that she assumed the composer intended. She played like another instrument aside the piano. There were no words, just carefully crafted and dragged out 'aa's and 'oo's to match according the notes that Forge plays.

However, make no mistake. While it seems simple, no lyrics or any of the sorts, Aclyma's perfect pitch was made with complete focus into the current task at hand. She had to be remained undisturbed, or else either her tone would go off, or she forgets how the song went.

However, long as it remains smooth sailing, the room would have vibrated with a serene atmosphere, so much so that the light would seem to shine ever so slightly into the room and onto Forge and Aclyma to praise the music that they had created.
