[ Thanks goes out to Fern and Varian today, as they spare Ange from the intense, and I repeat, intense social awkwardness she would experience from sitting there and watching a couple perform a romantic song...
This is so much better. It's not just tolerable - no, it's in fact kind of nice to see.. and to listen to. Ange patiently sits there, maybe even closing her eyes a few times during the song so she can listen to it even better, fully focus on it. With her eyes closed, it's almost as if she's just listening to a song someone might hear on the radio.. It's that level of quality. Fern wasn't kidding when he said Varian could sing well.
Not that she thought Fern was kidding, but.. well, Ange thought that there might be a bit of bias slipping into his description. And while she doesn't doubt that was there, it's also just objectively true that Varian is good.
Good enough that, once the song is over, Ange actually claps her hands to give the two of them applause, a faint smile still playing around her lips. ]
Wow, that was pretty great! You guys could totally form a professional music duo. [ And that's not an exaggeration on her part. ] I can't believe you're just a scientist where you come from, Varian. You'd be on the level of a professional singer in mine.
[ Then again, maybe musical talent is rarer in a world where it's not as big of a deal.. ]
And you're good on the guitar too, Fern. [ Which is also something Ange can appreciate, especially with what kind of uphill climb she has found learning how to play a musical instrument to be. ]
