Hallie's expression was unwaveringly curious. This Phoenix was beginning to remind her very much of her tutor, Cristo, who also said things like 'we're free spirits' and slept primarily in a hammock. Her brain's gears were grinding, absorbing this boy's Cristo-ness and also searching for distinction from him. She made the decision to ask Phoenix many questions.

Hal smoothed her skirt with her hands idly and let out an entertained chuckle. "Do you really believe that? That someone's name can affect who and how they are, like, intrinsically?" She asked with a suspicious grin. "Or are you just trying to be charming?" This boy was, if anything, amusing to her.

"My voice is if anything, average, although occasionally it is honestly horrible to listen to. It doesn't stop me from singing along to things though." Hallie looked at her hand as if she was examining her nails, though she couldn't see them beneath her glove. "Though your assumption was a compliment, so thank you."
"Mhmm, it's pretty much my favourite thing in the world. Music, I mean. There's a song for every moment, and if there isn't then you're just not looking hard enough." OR you should write one. That was one thing Phoenix believed above all. Music was life. "And yes, I am good at it." Ooooobviously. "I'll play for you sometime though, and you can judge for yourself." He liked to show off, okay?

Hmm... did he believe that? "A bit of both, really." Honest. He did a lot of things just to be charming... but... "I've never met anyone interesting called Pattie. And I've never met anyone boring with a unique name like yours, so I think there's some truth to it." After all, would he have been so amazingly cool if he didn't have a cool name? Probably. But he was the exception that proved the rule.

"Singing is one of the best forms of medicine." Phe said, lounging in the seat. "It can make you happy even when you feel the worst. And it's actually really good for your heart, you know, medically." Not just in the fancy idillic way. It was genuinely good cause it regulated your breathing or whatever. "You're very welcome. Maybe you can sing with me." When he played for her, that is. Or whenever. He liked hearing people sing, it opened a window into their soul.
