[font=trebuchet ms]In or out of tune, the sound of plucking strings was unmistakable to Rin's ears.
She whipped around at the first note that rang through the air, her eyes flickering across the living room. No one was there, polar bear, white feline or otherwise. She was ready to dismiss the sound as a figment of her imagination when another note echoed in her ears, at a lower pitch than the first. The tone of the notes was... different somehow. It was neither guitar nor ukulele, but it was nonetheless achingly similar.
Furrowing her brows, Rin stepped out of the doorway and walked in the direction that the notes sounded from, each note approaching closer to its proper pitch as she approached closer to the source. As Larkspurpaw came into view, the lute held in his paws, Rin felt the tension in her muscles melt away, her posture deflating with it. At least she had a tangible explanation for the sounds of strings, rather than her own instability...
She realized you aren't worth it.
It was a hollow victory.
"Where did you find that?" Rin asked softly, the exhaustion in her voice clear as crystal. Maybe if she got Lark talking, his voice would keep her distracted from... well, everything.
