[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.]

[The message sends a minute into the song, at character limit.]
