Maki hunches a little, thinking for a moment that maybe Nico really wanted to just have Maki play for her. Sometimes Maki doesn't realize how defensive she can be until she's been unnecessarily defensive.
"Alright." Maki stands and dusts off her skirt unnecessarily. "Come on."
She leads Nico down the hallway, past a few sitting rooms to the music room. It's a large hall, usually empty unless being used for small functions or concerts. A grand piano sits at the end of the hall, closed and pristine. Maki carefully prepares it, lifting the large lid and settling it on the short leg that props it open; she doesn't need the full volume if it's just the two of them. Finally she opens the lid that that covers the keys and pulls out the bench.
Maki sits and her hands hover over the keys, before she realizes Nico's still standing. "We have some chairs. I can have someone bring out one for you."
