Anyone who knew Desiree, and possibly even people who only knew of her, could probably tell that there was something a bit off about her today. She was being quieter than usual, her hands obscured by the overly long sleeves of her hoodie, occasionally fiddling with the semi-thick rectangular box poking out of the right pocket. She watched the mission run in relative quiet, only really offering slight nods or smiles when someone acknowledged her, but overall she seemed preoccupied.
As people started to disperse from the area, she found table near a plug for the small speakers, taking a few moments to assemble the theremin that she had brought with her - the smallest and most portable of the three that she owned - making quick work of getting it all set up. Then, without a word, she began to play. Closing her eyes, body barely swaying as she moved her hands to carefully pluck the notes out of the space between the antennae, Des allowed herself to get lost in the sound, ignoring everything else around her as she concentrated.
The song was one of her mothers' favorites - not that anyone else needed to know that - and while Desiree couldn't do it justice on the flute like her mother could this would have to suffice. She had no idea who - if anyone - might care, but this was something she was doing for herself. Tomorrow, she'd break out her flute and put in some practice time, but the theremin was to her what the flute was to her mother, and there was no way she could properly celebrate without a little music.
