"Well, just--" But before she can say anything Nico's wedged her way on the bench. Maki doesn't mind the close contact so much as how it restricts her playing. "Then we have to shift the bench a little, so I can be centered with the piano." She stands and motions for Nico do so as well.

When she does, Maki shifts the bench a little to Nico's side, to give both of them the space they need and for Maki to position herself correctly.

Once they sit back down, Maki lifts her arms and tests her elbow span. Ok, even with Nico close at her side (and she's not used to having anyone sit next to her when she's playing) she can still play.

The question is what.

"Anything you want me to play?"
