I bowed slightly as we continued to walk. “Thank you. It was written by the man who taught me to play. It’s even more beautiful with a girl to dance the part, but I am glad you liked it.”

"You're welcome, I liked it very much. Will you be in the City for long?" I asked. If I was to hold a fete, he would make the perfect focal piece. I hadn't been planning one, but...

“For awhile at least. I’m teaching a class at Eglantine and I’m here at least until it’s concluded,” I answered.

"I wouldn't have to go through them if I wanted a performance would I?" I asked half-jestingly.

“Oh no, you’d just have to go through me,” I replied, chuckling.

“Of course, I’m probably more difficult to deal with than Eglantine,” I said, smiling.

"How so?" I asked with an amused smile.

“Because money won’t be the most important aspect of the deal to me,” I said, grinning.

"If you asked the Dowayne of Eglantine, she would reply with the same answer," I replied with a chuckle. "But I'll bite. What is the most important aspect to you?"

"The ability to play the music I deem is appropriate to each moment and not having to stick to a certain playlist," I said.

"Not a fan of censorship are we?" I teased as I guided him up a street that would eventually take us by my house.

“Not at all, but mostly I think it’s rather presumptuous for a host to believe they know what music will be appropriate at every moment of their event. Too many times a joyful round is called for when a slow, seductive waltz would be better,” I answered.

"Are you trying to imply that there is too much drunken boisterousness and not enough seduction?" I asked with a grin.

“Not at all, I’m just saying that musicians have more sense than hosts tend to believe they do and we can choose suitable music,” I replied.

I had meant to lighten the mood with my tease, but he was serious still. "There are some of us who only hire those with sense, and expect them to use it," I said. We were edging our way into a better part of town, and the torches came more often now to light the street.

“As do I if you are considering contracting me at some point,” I said, grinning.

We had been walking for quite a while now, and I was starting to know streets well. "So do you have any other 'important aspects'?" I asked with a smile and a raised brow. "If I were to contract you of course."

“A comfortable stool and hot tea if you want me to sing, if not then just good wine,” I told her, chuckling.

“Not at all,” I replied, smiling. I glanced around at the neighborhood. “Where are we headed?”

"I believe a more accurate term would be 'followed', but I'll leave it at 'guided' to save your pride," I said with a crooked smile.

“Oh so literal you are,” I said, chuckling. “And my pride is just fine without your saving, I have no issues with you having led the way to your home.”

"Oh good, because we're here," I replied with a laugh, stopping in front of the path that wound its way through the garden and up to my door. "Thank you for the enjoyable time... Gregoire."
