Her head rested against her knees and she looked intently at the guitar strings. She had always loved the guitar. It was perhaps her favorite instrument and Christopher never let her look at his. So she had never really had the opportunity to study someone playing the guitar before. That and Selina was just really comfortable. The train had to have gone through a renovation because the seats seemed much more comfortable this year than previous years. Enough so where if she wanted to she could fall asleep.
The whole compartment went quiet with the exception of the brief squeak of the seat underneath Selina. Then Gideon closed his eyes and strummed his first chord. She waited quietly with bated breath for him to open his eyes and begin. After a minute or two he began to play. It was slow at first and then he found a steady rhythm within the chords. Each harmony and cadence rang out in the small compartment.
When he finished playing she blinked and unwrapped her arms from around her knees. Trying to find the words to speak she said, "I... didn't know you could do that. That's good Gideon. Really it is." Gideon was so focused on the act of playing and the music he was making that he wasn't aware of Selina's own full focused attention not only the product of his actions but himself and the playing itself. That was until he had stopped playing as gradually as he had started and noticed the way she was looking at him. The fifth year did his best not to appear too flustered at the attention, though it was a little hard seeing as Selina appeared to be apparently speechless at what had just occured.
Was that a good thing or a bad thing?
With his girlfriend, he was never absolutely sure but when she finally spoke once more he had enough of an answer to relax. "Thanks," he replied allowing a smile to cross his face as he set the guitar down beside him on the compartment seat. As much as he was sometimes skeptical of his playing, he knew Selina wasn't one to lie about things. And even when she tried to, she wasn't the greatest at it so Gideon knew her opinion was genuine.
