Robert watched Fe with an almost predatory focus as she walked around, inspecting his instruments. She stopped at the piano finally and he saw it in her. She'd chosen.

"Classically trained," Robert admitted with a smile and a shrug. He let his ghastly, inhuman teeth show for just a second. A lapse in judgement. One he hastily corrected. "I can admit I myself am not the best pianist on the island. But if it is just lessons and not a recital you want, I believe I can service just fine."

If she was getting extra voice lessons on top of standard ones and getting piano lessons on top of that, that was going to take up a significant portion of Robert's time. Oh well, he could manage. With a smile and a nod, he moved over to the piano and ran his fingers lightly across the keys.

Fe regarded Robert calmly, looking him up and down again, from head to toe, or more like from toe to head, when he said he had been classically trained. Yes, she could see that. His whole demeanor, the way he held himself. It all sort of screamed tortured composer musician. Even his calm mannerisms - which she sensed belied something more intense, darker... maybe it was the owl in her reacting to him, but Fe got the feeling Robert wasn't what he appeared to be. A feeling that was only reinforced when he flashed a very brief smile at her.

"No, I am not looking for a recital, at least, not at the moment," Fe told him with a slightly amused look on her face.

"I do hope to maybe pair voice with song with piano, and eventually maybe be able to sing and play at the same time," she confessed as she ran her hand almost lovingly over the piano. Yes, it had been and was calling to her. She could almost feel it somehow.

"When could I start?" she then asked Robert questioningly, very much having decided that she wanted to do it all, and start as soon as possible.

Robert exhaled slowly, forcing himself to calm down. Gesturing Fe back over to the living room area, he carefully shut the lid to the piano and headed that way himself. "We can start anytime you wish, honestly. I do not have any other required engagements this month other than the one in the next couple of days that I already mentioned."

Robert took a seat again and picked up his glass of water, sipping it graciously. "I will give full disclosure. I am a werewolf, but my case is special among even my kind. I turn during the new moon rather than the full. Beyond that, the process is wholly unpleasant and admittedly puts me out of commission for the day before and the day of. Occasionally the day after as well. So if I am ever... unsettling, I appreciate your understanding. But I also want to be held accountable for my behavior. So if I ever make you uncomfortable, please do not hesitate to let me know."

"That's quite alright," Fe said with a tiny, unaffected shrug when Robert told her he was a werewolf. So was Rada, her boss at the House of Volkov. It mattered not to her what people were and weren't.

"But since we are doing the full disclosure thing, I'm a sirin, and could technically sing you into a blissful and yet, forgetful oblivion," she remarked offhandedly and with a somewhat amused smirk as she turned to look at him full on.

"Now that the pleasantries are out of the way," Fe said as she pushed some hair out of her face, "Can I start now, or today?"
