"You sound like a very busy man. But that's always good. And if people truly always believe that you're hiding something from them, it's just a scapegoat to cover up their own secrets. We call that paranoia." She replied lightly, softening the mood.

"As for music, I sing a little..but that's about it. I do love listening though..." she trailed, thinking for a moment, before reaching into the pocket of her robes and pulling out a small, hand-held device that was black and silver with the symbol of a bitten apple on one side. She laughed a little as she clicked it on, her face reddening, because she knew she was talking to a fellow pureblood like herself.

"You've probably seen one of these around, it's called an ipod. One of those Muggle electronics that they use to listen to music. A dear friend of mine sent it to me over the summer." She smiled, her mind drifting to Icarus for a brief moment before shaking the thought away. "My maman would kill me if she saw it...but thankfully she's hardly around to notice it. I don't know how long it will last in the castle, but I charmed it to at least extend the battery a little before it dies. I think it will last for a few more weeks."

She unraveled the ear phones, and handed one to him. "All of this is Muggle music, but it's all still good. At least I think so."
