[It's another six minutes or so until Kaede responds. She'd started playing again while waiting for Erika's response...]
Liszt's Valse-Impromptu, S.213 in A minor! Liszt didn't do a lot of waltzes, but I know he's Akechi-kun's favorite composer, so I wanted to surprise him. Also it's a light, bouncy piece that's a challenge to learn, because it doesn't feel like one of Chopin's waltzes! It's really fun to play!!
[Send text, skip thirty seconds, skip Erika realizing that she dreamed that entire conversation and Kaede is not actually bonkers enough to bring a piano through a window into Erika's room.
Aaaawwwwww were you dreaming about me???? ❤⃛~♪~~~ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ )
[It's not nice to make fun of a sick person!!
But she does reach over to switch to audio. She contemplates video for a second, then decides no, she doesn't know if Erika feels nauseous and doesn't want the movement of her wrist over the piano to make it worse.]
Is there anything you want to listen to?
[It's weird addressing her arm, but if she pretends she's on speakerphone, it's okay!]
[She opts to type her reply instead of speaking. Her end of the call is the shuffle of fabric, the dull, rapid plunking of typing, and faintly hoarse breathing.]
The one you just named. Or maybe something you're not as fond of since I'm going to associate it with being sick. A sacrifice.
I don't want to play you something I don't like, though... that's no fun.
[It feels even weirder talking while Erika is typing, but typing means taking her hands away from the piano keys, and that's worse!
Kaede hums thoughtfully, a lilting up-and-down tune that almost sounds like the start of a song.]
I think one of Debussy's pieces would be better! I'll save Liszt's for when you're feeling better. Debussy's Reverie is a calming, soothing song that's like a cool night breeze to whisk you to sleep.
[Since it sounds like rest is what Erika needs more than anything else.
She doesn't have to look at the keys to play it, starting to play the song while looking to her wrist for Erika's response]
[Kaede doesn't stop playing when the message sends, though it does attract her attention with a frown. Maybe Erika fell asleep...? She didn't even cast Sleep! Can someone even do that over their bracer??
No, focus. She wanted Erika to rest anyway. Even if the other girl isn't consciously listening, having music playing when you're trying to sleep isn't a bad thing at all.
So Kaede doesn't say anything else, nor does she end the audio feed. Instead, when she finishes Reverie, she just transitions smoothly to Satie's Gymnopédies, and if Erika doesn't say anything or end the call, she'll continue playing soothing, calming songs for at least the next two hours or so. Maybe longer. She'd originally been planning to break for dinner, but she's not very good at remembering to eat when there's piano to play.]
