Greetings.

My name is Espio. I opted to reach out in this manner to make an offer. In my world, I was part of a detective agency. I would be glad to bring those skills to those in need here, should you have need of one. There are a great many mysteries in this world, after all.

...With that aside, I do have a request of my own. I'm looking to speak to someone who specializes in playing musical instruments. I will be glad to specify in a conversation.

For detective work, you can reach out to Sherlock Holmes.

[Trying to get better friends for his not-son—

—but also:]

I don't claim to be a master, but I have experience with playing a dutar. Will that suffice?

[stealthpun]

Does he regularly get cases?

A dutar would be interesting to learn to play. Perhaps between that and my shamisen, I could study enough for my goal.

[indispensable]

You'd have to ask him for details, but he does keep himself busy enough.

[What Sherlock busies himself with though is another story entirely...

Also hmm... a shamisen, huh. That's a stringed Inazuman instrument, if he recalls correctly. He's aware that some things do transcend between worlds but its still interesting when it occurs.]

Considering that they're both string instruments, it should not be too hard to pick it up. I haven't had much of a chance to experience the shamisen myself, as its not easy to come by in my world.

[stealthpun]

That is assuming he is interested in cooperating with another detective. I suppose we will see.

Perhaps by being a master of both, I will be able to work my way toward a standard guitar. I would welcome your input on how to handle a dutar.

[indispensable]

He's already cooperating with one. I see no reason why he would be unwilling to work with another.

The structure of a dutar is somewhat closer to a guitar compared to a shamisen. [...] Is there a reason why you're intent on mastering the guitar? You do not have to answer if you'd rather keep the reasons private; my own reasoning is that knowing your specific objectives can help in identifying the things that are better for you to focus on.

[stealthpun]

Then I will keep that in mind. Thank you.

No no, that's quite all right. I plan on learning specifically the electric guitar so I can teach someone I know. I find the expression of music very freeing and I want to share that with someone that matches their style. I feel as though something like the electric guitar would suit her.

[indispensable]

[...what is an electric guitar... is that any different from a regular guitar...

...he's just going to assume that is the case until proven otherwise.]

I see. [He certainly agrees about the expression of music and what it can give—its one of the many things that help tie him and Kaveh together after all... and its one of the reasons why he is perhaps sympathetic to this desire.] I'll do my best to assist in this endeavor however I can. Let me know a time and place that works best for you so that we can meet.
