Camp Halfblood 5

Darius: *chuckles and straightens her hold on it, he lightly places her fingers on the strings*

Phae: *grins* Want something? *the two, fresh trees are surrounded by several other fruit trees, she has obviously been doing this every day*

Keira: *wonders what Mort wants to do today*

Sophia: *is still blushing deeply, she stutters* I-uh-I- *she looks down*

Haliona: *blushes... She smiles* oops...

Darius: *can't stop smiling, he chuckles* No worries! You're doing great! *he beams and places her index finger in the strumming position*

Haliona: *notes that his hands feel nice and blushes before again concentrating on the ukulele...*

Darius: *is on top of the world, he beams up at her* Ok, you ready to try strumming?

Haliona: *giggles and nods*

((....))

Darius: *takes his in his hands and shows her how* Alright, your hands are in all the right places! You just gotta go for it! *he beams*

((What?))
Haliona: uh.... *blinks* go for it? *blink*

Darius: Um, yea? *he shows her again by strumming his, the strings ping to make a cheerful noise. He smiles* Want me to help?

Haliona: *nods... She doesn't look sure of what she is supposed to do and is afraid that she will mess up*

Darius: Uh-alright *he sets his instrument down and reaches for her hands again, blushing. He lightly lifts her hand* "(My word, her skin is so soft and perfect)" *he lightly pulls her hand down on the strings, causing a light harmonic "ping"*

Haliona: *beams... She giggles happily*

Darius: *is still blushing, he smiles at her* Great! You ready to try on your own?

Haliona: *hesitates* uhm... Maybe... I'm not sure...

((.... Can she move her hand up and down.... It's really not that complicated))

Darius: You can do it! *he beams*

((And uke is like the easiest instrument... Just sayin))

((She is lucky when it comes to most things.... Instrument have never been a strong point... Last time she tried to play one an entire room of people laughed at her... She is afraid it might happen again))

Haliona: *she mimics what he helped her do and cringes expecting it to come out badly*

((And now she's getting lessons from an Apollo camper, she'll be fine))

*the sound comes out beautifully*

Darius: That was great! *he beams*

Haliona: *giggles with excitement* it didn't sound bad! Yay!

Darius: Of course it didn't! *he smiles and lightly places her left hand in a different position, he again blushes* Go ahead and try it again!

Haliona: *nods and does as directed... She is beaming*

*it sounds a bit raw but great!*

Darius: *beams* See? You're a natural!

Haliona: Yay! Thank you! *she squeals slightly with delight*

Darius: *stares at her, grinning like an idiot*

Haliona: this is sooo fun! *beams at him*

Darius: *is still grinning* I'm glad
