Though this seems entirely optimistic and a bit unrealistic, I still believe it's something that can be obtained. Being pessimistic has never served me well anyway.
[What if Beauty doesn't even reply but instead nods, fingers poised on the keys and beginning to play? That's what happens, a note resonating through the room as they begin and hands shifted just enough to allow Nonon room to join him. He's always ready for this sort of thing.]
[ Her hands move when his does, and she'll match his tempo almost instantly. They're going to make beautiful music, and Nonon will be thrilled by it. She hasn't looked this happy that often at the temple, and for all that she criticizes the system the gods creating for choosing their leader, it's with some of the gods that she's had the most fun.
[He's actually very pleased because nobody's really played with him before. The song's easy to follow and he wasn't lying when he said he's played forever. It's easy to match her and harmonize on both ends of the keys, and it's...sweet, actually.
He doesn't speak until the song's well and over, the last note ringing out and he lets his hands rest on the keys.]
Thank you...it's not often I get to share with people like this.
[And this is when Nonon is at her best. Beauty's pleased with this, and even if the mask is in the way it's clear there's a smile given how he sounds.]
We can sometimes, yes. I would like that a lot, actually. I wouldn't want to pull you away from anything important but if that's true, I'll happily consider it.

[ It's a foregone conclusion. The answer is immediate.
She nods towards the piano. ]
You were going to play with me, weren't you?

Don't be silly. I'm always ready.
[ Nonon takes a seat at the piano and smiles up at Beauty, the picture of grace and charisma bundled into something tiny, terrible, and pink. ]
The better question is if you are?

Her hands slip from he keys to her lap, and she grins at him. ]
That's a shame. I don't know if gods can summon people to visit them, but if you ever want someone to play with you again, I'd be happy to.

Who knows? Maybe you'll pull me away from something stupid instead.
