Week Three: Thursday
Who: Clove, and Rufus When: After classes Where: Their room, in the House of Fire What: Roomies chatting about girls
It was one of those rare days, when homework, rather than going outside, and do a bit of lyrical writing, was occupying his afternoon. Most of it was completed, but there was still one paper to write, and that hadn't been distracting enough, to keep him from picking up his guitar. The acoustic had been receiving far too much attention lately. The '62 Fender Jaguar, was plugged into the amp, while is rested top his thighs. Rufus was perched on the end of his bed, as he strummed lightly at the cords, testing to see how out of tune she had become during the weeks of neglect. Even though it was a bit sacrilegious to play at such a low volume, it was the only option he had, while playing in the dorms. Oh hell, a little louder wouldn't hurt.
Leaning over, he turned the amp up by a few points, giving it a test strum... wasn't too loud. He wasn't in the mood for singing, which was probably a good thing, for anyone who might happen upon him. So, something that could stand alone without words would have to do. Hendrix was always the best bet for that. He's been such an incredible talent, that the guitar usually carried the song. Was it safe to say, that Rufus was obsessed with music, it was yes. He knew this. But he loved it, and didn't hurt anyone, did it?
It wasn't always the focus of his thoughts though. Especially since arriving at Halcyon. He'd discovered other rather appealing distractions. In the form of girls, and... even though it was nerdy to say, course work. Which he enjoyed. He was a strange one like that. But, seeing as he was still trying to work out whom exactly he preferred, music was the distraction for the moment. Rufus never would have thought, in a million years, that he'd be smitten with not one, but two girls. As his fingers began to play, there was a distinctly bluish tone to the song. Red House had always been a favorite of his, because it did showcase the guitar in such a way.
