Tuned To Relax The Soul

Lollipop could hear some humming, and a guitar slowly strumming along, playing it's majestic tunes.

She turned the corner of the hall, to Saw's room. There she was, playing a simple yet beautiful tune.

Saw stopped when Lollipop looked through. "Hey, Lolly! What's up?"

Lollipop put on her usual smirk. "Didn't know you played guitar."

"Oh yeah! I'm trying it out now! I've been listening to a bunch of songs lately, and most of them feature a guitar. Aren't the sounds they make so lovely?" Saw strummed the guitar. "Ah.. it just lifts the atmosphere, y'know?"

Lollipop sat on the bed next to Saw. "Yeah. Why don't you play me a tune or two you've learned?"

"Sure!"

And so she did.

By the time the music had ended, Lollipop realized she was leaning against Taco. She moved her head away slowly. Damn, that long ass thing made her tired.

"Wasn't that nice?" Saw asked, softness and sincereness in her voice.

Lollipop sighed and laughed at the same time, kind of sounding like a scoff. "Yeah. I don't remember ever having a time where I've felt so.. at peace. Like everything is gonna be fine. Thanks, Saw. I needed that."

Saw grinned. "No problem, Lolly."

Lollipop scoffed. "I thought you were a beginner? How dare you lie to me." She playfully shoved Saw's arm.

"Well.. whatever."

Lollipop stood up, and started to leave, but as she crossed the doorway, she turned back. "Thanks, again, Saw."

Saw had a sincere smile. "Anytime, Lollipop."
