Orpheus groans. "Well, no. It's not you, it's just.... the last time I played for someone, well, the only time I played for someone... it ended bad." He looks down. "And now I sound like an idiot making lame excuses."

"No... No, you don't. I know how it is to have a bad past... Trust me, I do understand." She stops playing and looks away, hiding her face from him so he doesn't see the pain in her eyes. "It's okay, I shouldn't have asked" She sets down the guitar and grabs a book from her bag. She stretches out across her chair and starts to read.

"Can't be as bad as being blamed for something that you didn't do for the rest of your life..." He goes back to sketching, this time drawing a panda.

"Yea, your right. It's worse." A silent tear falls down her cheek as she remembers her past. She quickly turned her head away, wiped it away, and continued reading

Orpheus looks over at her and sighs. "There I go again," he mumbles. "Always screwing shit up..."

"No, fuck...." She took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "No, you didn't screw anything up. I still have A LOT of problems that i'm still hung up on. I didn't mean to make you think you made me depressed.... see, usually, i'm really shy... why am I telling you this?" Then she murmurs under her breath, not meaning for anyone to hear, "You wouldn't care, no one ever has...." She looked back up at him and said, "Sor..." and ended up staring at his eyes and not finishing her sentence. [more like word.]

Orpheus looks into her eyes. "Why wouldn't I care? I didn't play for you 'cause I didn't want to hurt you. That should count for something."

"Oh shit..." She looks away and says, "Sorry. I didn't mean for you to hear that.... It's okay. It doesn't matter anyways..." She pauses for a heart beat and trys to do something to lighten the mood. She trys by saying, "I come from a rough background, but i'll be alright." She trys to give him a smile, getting little success.

Orpheus manages a slight curve of his lips. "I didn't. That's why that makes my one wrong move so much worse..." He finishes drawing the panda, but figures it wouldn't have anything to do, so he draws it a bamboo shoot to chew on before it bumbled off the page.

Nikita looks at him and says, "I'm sorry. I don't know what happened to you, and i'm not going to ask you to tell me... But i do understand... at least a little bit." She goes to reach out and give him a hug but catches herself and folds her arms across her chest.

Orpheus nods. "Same here. At least, I want to understand.... maybe one day will each be able to help the other out."

She smiles and says, "Hopefully...." She looks down, grabs her shorts, and puts them on. "Do you want to go for a walk?"

Orpheus shrugs and puts his sketch book down. "Sure. Where to?"

"Um... not sure, i was just gonna walk, and where ever my feet take me is where i'm going. But maybe we could go to the gardens or the forest." She packs up her stuff and murmurs something under her breath as her things vanish. "Ready?" She smiled at him sweetly, glad she had met him.

Orpheus packs his sketchbooks into his guitar case and puts it over his shoulder. "Ready." He smiles at her and heads out of the pool area, holding the door for her.

"Thanks." She says as she walks past him. As they begin to walk she asks, "So, What's on your mind?"

Orpheus hesitates, but gives in, feeling comfortable around her. "Just trying to figure out why I'm here... besides my mage, I mean."

"Yea, same here. I actually wouldn't.. if it was my choice... have anything to do with my mage. I wouldn't have even come here, but i had to listen to him or..." She stopped dead in her tracks and stared at the ground. She couldn't believe she just said that. After a moments pause she looks up at him and winces. "Sorry. Anyways. I don't know why i'm here either. Let's go this way..." She heads off towards the forest.

Orpheus follows her lead. "Don't worry. It's not like I'm going to tell anyone. Autumn's already taught me how to block my thoughts, so she won't even be able to find out." He pauses. "But you don't have to tell me. I was just saying..."

She starts to fidget and then says, "Uh, it's just my past.... no big deal." She starts walking again and trys to change subject. "So who's Autumn? Your girlfriend?" She thought she sounded a tad rude so she followed that staement with, "Not to sound rude... i was just wondering."
