Does anyone know how to play a stringed instrument?

[ Cloud got an unique gift for his birthday and now has to figure out how to play it. ]

No but did you get a stringed instrument recently?

Yeah, I thought it was a gag gift. But I'm starting to think he was serious.

Wait, "he"?

But has anyone taught you how to use it yet? I wonder if I can get my brother to help you.

Zack. Who else?

I know how to play the piano a little, but stuff like this? No, and no one's taught me.

Why would Lyney know something about it?

Oh, I see.

I figured Lyney might know since he's a magician so he might know a thing or two about how to play it?

Magician doesn't mean musician though, right?

No but there are things Lyney can do that I'm not aware of.

I didn't know that he could sing sometimes.

You think playing an ukuele is one of those things?

I mean I know he can sing, but I'm not sure I've seen him play anything similar?

I'm not sure but I could ask him.

...It's worth a try...?

It is. I just don't expect it, I guess.

There ae a lot of things I didn't expect from my brother.

...And sister too.

That's how family is, I think.

You don't know everything about one another.

That's not a bad thing.

...No, it isn't.

Which makes me wonder what else they know.

Need to talk about it?

...No, I think I'm good.

I just need to work on my confidence more.

Sure. But you don't have to rush that either.

I know.

Which is why it can be troublesome at times.
