there's beauty in the breakdown

Who: Sunset and OPEN
Where: Out in a common space.
When: Some Friday night. It's raining.
What: Sunset plays some tunes. It doesn't go like she planned.
Warnings: Bad music, rain

It's been a bit of a rough month for Sunset. Sure, she's been doing great with her classes, her friends are doing fine, and it's all good. She even has her guitar back! But her dreams of immediately starting a band are waylaid when she actually plays a chord.

It sounds rough. She tunes it and tries again. Still rough. No matter what she does, it just won't go right. She sighs, angrily plucking a string as she takes a seat on a sheltered stump. One quick bubble charm to ward the rain away from her guitar and she tries again.

"Is there beauty in those gray clouds..."

Is there? She looks at the offending guitar and sighs. "Rule number one: never trust the genie, or anything like that."

"What's a little ear pain between friends?" Or more, but Cliff wasn't about to push that issue. Not now.

"You're not an outcast here, you've got friends. I've got your back, I've said that before. Recently, even. And I'm absolutely sure I'm not the only one!"

He patted her head gently--only because she was seated--and Rounder, who'd been there silently spinning this whole time? Even he reached up to pat her leg, reassuringly.
