[ Claude doesn't know exactly what Felix will need to do in order to prepare, but he feels comfortable assuming part of it. He wouldn't claim to know everything about the man and his possessions, but he'd place much greater odds on his not having a violin at hand. So, he'll need to secure one. He must be years out of practice, but he's agreed to their private performance exchange, an agreement that wasn't qualified by the promise that he'd be terrible and it would be a complete waste of time. The sort of things Claude might expect if Felix had objectively assessed his ability and found it wanting.
So, he'll be practicing.
One week for one song.
Claude's sure he can source something in the lute family quickly enough. The trick will be to find the time to learn a popular Leicester Alliance song from scratch. When he'd known a slightly different instrument, and however well he'd played it then, he hasn't touched it for six years now. Really, he would benefit from more time.
But, it's as though he can read the smirk in that text. So be it. If he really bungles it, Felix can have a laugh at his expense. ]
Oh, probably. But, when you put it like that, I can't ask for it, right? I'll prepare melodic little miracle, just for you.
