Séan was spending some downtime in the holodeck as an audience member for an old Earth rock/jazz concert. He was observing and swaying to the music of Santana, while occasionally chiming in to the refrains. All in all it was a very fun time whenever the guitar solos busted out.

Solal, having finished writing his most recent letter to V’alara of the Ark Angel, had grabbed his violin for the first time in some weeks, peered out into the hallways to check that they were clear, and then made his way toward the holodeck. Logically, he shouldn’t care, really, whether or not his crew members knew he played the violin, but he most certainly still did. As he exited the lift, he checked the halls again, being sure to take a less busy route that would be more likely to be empty.

He’d checked the holodeck schedule in advance. Solal always did, he was very thorough to be sure he didn’t run into anyone. So as he approached the holodeck door and then went through it expecting an empty room, he paused in the doorway, violin case over his shoulder, when he saw none other than Séan listening to old Earth music. A mix of rock and jazz if Solal was right. He turned to leave, hoping he was unnoticed by the Lieutenant.

Séan turned at the sound of the holodeck doors open, he was somehow able to hear it, and was surprised to see Solal.

“Computer freeze program!” He called out in a hurry as he stood and rushed towards the door. “Hey, fancy seeing you here.” He commented with a smile.

The music stopped at the sound of Séan’s voice and so did Solal, a flash of… something akin to dismay on his face before he hid it. “You weren’t on the holodeck schedule,” he replied. The violin case hung from Solal’s back in plain view, and it was quite obvious what it was. That was why he’d cleared the halls as he went… And checked the holodeck schedule.

~ Solal

“Neither were you.” Séan responded with his smile shifting into a grin while he looked at Solal. “My occupancy was spur of the moment as I finished with my appointments early and noticed the holodeck was free for a bit of time. I’m more than happy to share with you however. Would you like to come in and have a seat?”

Solal was, of course, still avoiding his own annual psych visit, so it’d been a while since he’d actually seen Séan or talked to him. “Let’s call it spur of the moment that I’m here as well.” It would have been a nice end to a long day, write his letter, play a little, and then go to bed. Call it ‘relaxing’ he supposed, though he wouldn’t say that to Séan. “Not if you’re in the middle of something. Your music is not quite to my taste.”

~ Solal

“I’m a fan of all types of music. What would be more to your taste?” Séan asked while pointedly looking at the violin case. “Or would you rather play something instead? I wouldn’t mind accompanying you if you wanted to get some practice in.” Séan was definitely enjoying this turn of events. He hadn’t known that Solal played the violin but it was an intriguing tidbit of information.

Séan was looking very interestedly at his violin, clearly enjoying having found out about it. Solal had purposefully avoided telling him, as he did everyone. He almost seemed embarrassed, perhaps, that now Séan knew about it. “That is why I came.” He slowly set the case down. “I play classical.”

~ Solal

Séan nodded slowly. “That makes sense. There is much serenity found in classical music, though also a fair amount of emotional outbursts. What are you practicing now?”

Solal carefully removed the violin from its case. “Rieding’s Concerto in B minor. Its difficulty matches my skill, making it a logical choice.” Then he pulled out the violin’s bow, readied it, and picked up the violin. “This would be the social event I used to be invited to.” He said, referencing one of their previous conversations. No sense hiding it now.

~ Solal

With another nod Séan pulled over a chair and took a seat. “There was someone who had watched you play before?” He couldn’t remember the details that Solal had told him.
