At first he had barely played at all; fingers pressing so lightly against the ivory keys for the mere whisper of a note. Now he played quietly, long pale fingers stiff as they pressed down, the hesitation to each note a distinction that sounded in his ears the same as simply smashing the piano at random with his fist.
Moderato now, and loud enough to make his hands feel light. He closed his eyes and hoped that she wouldn't hear. He played pieces he didn't need to see, long familiar to his hands. It didn't require that he think, only that he move.
The Drawing Room felt quite neglected these days, bereft of a family or guests to indulge in its luxuries. Lucius was pleased that the piano had been left here. He wondered if she ever played it, and distracted by the image of her hands against the notes faltered on his own.
Lucius opened his eyes and frowned.
