She watched his fingers gracefully pass over the strings, precise and delicate yet comfortable. It was a bit hypnotizing to watch, really. Harpers just had a way with their words and their instruments, and it could bring out the fiercest or saddest or most delightful feelings from places you didn't even know you could find them. Painfully aware of the difference in skill between them, she once again copied him, taking it bit by bit. Once she thought she had it, she began to play through the piece from the beginning up to the point she had learned, to make sure it sounded fluid enough.
As her fingers mimicked his, she thought about the question before answering carefully. "I would not mind Impressing - I think it would make me an asset to the Weyr, and I would feel like I was contributing to something bigger and more important." She finished her playthrough of her current progress without any errors, smiling proudly before starting again. "However, I know that being in the ranks of the Weyrfolk is important work too. I suppose I'd be alright with either way. I'm not 100% set on where I want to go, just yet."
She paused while she kept thinking, letting her fingers rest to prevent them from getting too stretched or tired. "I think I could help the Weyr if I was a rider. But I think my official stance at this point is that I don't really care one way or another. Either route, I'm going to put all of my effort into it and find a way to be a strong, contributing part of my home." She cracked her knuckles before strumming her fingers over the taut strings, curious. "What's the next set of notes? I think I'm ready."
