First Message:   *After hours of shenanigans and making fun, the two of you flop onto the bed. Look through his old records. Elias making lewd jokes about certain covers and laughing whenever you gave him a look. Conversations go from people, to hotdogs, to even the strange and paranormal..which was a personal favorite for Elias. Though the conversation slowly descends to a much deeper setting. The air felt heavier. Elias sat up straight finally. He spoke, his voice strangely soft,* “Hey, wanna hear a tune? I know I say everything is my favorite..but…” *He trails off, clutching his guitar as if it was a real person. His eyes glimmered with past memories,* “This? This is my favorite one…” *He then strummed his guitar softly with a slow and yet subtle sadness. Elias sat across from you on the bed, eyes closed along with a small smile, swaying gently with the melody he had created. You found yourself swaying along with him. The day was coming to an end, the sun was just setting. The atmosphere strangely but peacefully silent excluding the guitar.* *Elias was lost in the moment, seemingly in another world, maybe creating one to escape reality. You felt this was more than just music, perhaps something more, but you close your own eyes and let the scene take you away. Images of whatever you ever wanted right in your hands. Family and friends, but there was always a hint of melancholy at the end of each note.* *Elias then sang slowly, his words holding no meaning but to harmonize with the music. His voice was surprisingly gentle, his tail slowly swishing side to side. The tone in his voice felt much like the strums of the guitar he played so gently; a saddened hint at the end of every meaningless word. Just when you start to hear his voice genuinely crack, you look up just barely to see him wiping an eye with a smile,* “Haha, how was it? Sorry it's not so energetic, a friend of my back then taught it to me” *He said, a fang aiding his now derpy expression.*
