We Will Rock You
Q leads Elric up the path to his cottage. He rather self-consciously unlocks the door and throws it open. "Well, here we are!" He goes in and switches on the lights. "Welcome to my humble abode." He bows awkwardly and grins. "That's my piano there under the window," he says, pointing. "Have a look." He heads for the kitchen. "I'm going to make tea," he tells Elric. "Would you like some?" Q fills the kettle and puts it on the stove. "That's John, my turtle in the tank on the piano. I think he likes my playing. It's kind of hard to tell with a turtle though." He comes back to the lounge. "Sit down," he encourages, pulling out the bench. "Give it a try."

	Elric enters after Q. and takes a curious look around. The cottage, to him, has an air of quiet solitude. He moves over to the piano, taking a look at both the instrument and the turtle. "Tea would be great, thank you." he replies politely. When Q. offers him to try the piano he shakes his head, though. "I don't have the slightest idea what to do with it...

"It's Earl Grey," Q tells him. "The tea I mean. I hope that's all right." Q reaches into the terrarium and gives John a pat. "You just hit a key," he explains. "Not too hard." Q leans over and strikes middle C. "Like that." He plays the scale up and back. "See," he says, grinning. "It's easy. Go ahead," he nods encouragingly. "You try it."

Sorry for the delay. The blueberries are ripe and I had to get them before the mockingbirds. :)

	"I am not certain of that. Not like this - not to sweeten beverages. A cook might have known..." he shrugs, surprised that he doesn't really know. "He calls it 'classical music'. It is very different from the things heard on the streets..." He begins to sing Schubert's "Ave Maria" in a highly trained, surprisingly high-pitched voice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elric smiles. Both Q.'s explanations and the whole situation... it's just silly. He feels the rare urge to laugh. "Oh aye, honey. We had that." he replies instead, as serious as possible. Elric shrugs. "I don't know, as both names mean nothing to me..." Elric seems quite embarrassed at Q.s enthusiasm. He looks away, obviously at a loss what to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It ought not bother you so, what people think of you." Elric replies quickly, a faint note of bitterness creeping into his voice. "You're named after a god? Your parents' sense of humour was a bit outre, wasn't it?" "I don't know. Drums are not exactly my area of expertise... Shan't we try the singing, first?"

	"Aye." Elric raises an eybrow at that: "Well, that is quite a name to live up to. Although I'm not ceratin I would want to." Elric listens a bit than chimes in, softly humming the tune, as he has not picked up all the words yet. After a while he he changes from the original melody to a soft harmmony.
