"Well, I enjoy music as well; I write songs and play acoustic guitar as well as piano, music runs in my family though. My father plays the drums occasionally, my cousin sings and plays bass." Even though Raven had been known to play bagpipes in her spare time, he wasn't going to bring that idea up since it was rather annoying. "I also play a couple muggle sports, it keeps the attention away from myself at times since people suspect that I'm hiding something from them."
Katra nodded, smiling. She didn't ask him to elaborate on any of the more cryptic remarks, because she knew what privacy meant. She didn't like people prying into her life, so she had no care to do it to others.
"You sound like a very busy man. But that's always good. And if people truly always believe that you're hiding something from them, it's just a scapegoat to cover up their own secrets. We call that paranoia." She replied lightly, softening the mood.
"As for music, I sing a little..but that's about it. I do love listening though..." she trailed, thinking for a moment, before reaching into the pocket of her robes and pulling out a small, hand-held device that was black and silver with the symbol of a bitten apple on one side. She laughed a little as she clicked it on, her face reddening, because she knew she was talking to a fellow pureblood like herself.
"You've probably seen one of these around, it's called an ipod. One of those Muggle electronics that they use to listen to music. A dear friend of mine sent it to me over the summer." She smiled, her mind drifting to Icarus for a brief moment before shaking the thought away. "My maman would kill me if she saw it...but thankfully she's hardly around to notice it. I don't know how long it will last in the castle, but I charmed it to at least extend the battery a little before it dies. I think it will last for a few more weeks."
She unraveled the ear phones, and handed one to him. "All of this is Muggle music, but it's all still good. At least I think so."
