B’jin nodded slightly in agreement and leaned over his own guitar, speaking lowly as he instructed the girl on how to tune the instrument – showing her the little dials on the tuner, and how to turn them slightly to change how tightly the strings were strung. He got her to pluck each string individually, and asked her if she thought it were flat or sharp. When she answered, he nodded or shook his head, and told her how to adjust the tightness. When all the strings were done, and the guitar sounded once more as it should, B’jin sat back with a bright smile. “Well done!”
Still smiling lightly, B’jin flicked his fingers over his own guitar’s strings, listening to the instrument hum with delight, and tossed the girl a wink. “I assume you know your teaching ballads,” he said lightly, scrunching his nose up playfully. “But can you read music?” He doubted it, but it was worth asking. She was a good little mimic, so B’jin figured it would be easy enough to show her how a tune was played and then get her to play it herself; he certainly could not be bothered to begin the process of teaching the child to read music.
“Valer- V’ler, sorry, wrote a couple of fun little tunes that I can teach you, if you would like.”
