Of course the one instrument Salander always wanted to learn to play were the drums. Which his classically trained father never approved of -- at any age. Boo.
Realizing that he was once again being the Great Interrupter, he pushed himself off the wall and introduce himself "Sorry, didnt mean to crash into your private time here.... uhm, I'm Salander by the way. " he said as he began to hold out his hand, but then caught himself. She's wearing shades dummy. he kicked himself silently. Instead he gave a small wave. Duh.
So it was her at the Goblet. "That's a really brave thing you did." he said barely concealing the admiration in his voice. "I mean who cares if neither of us got chosen? You actually got up there despite your doubts and actually went ahead and put your name in. Truth to be told, you've got more guts than most people I know." And for a guy like Salander, that counts a lot on his book.
Ari smiled back at him, tilting her head as he leaned against the wall--or so she surmised, hearing the change in his voice--the one you hear when your muscles are turned.
"I'm okay with a piano. I've never owned one, but my american neighbors had one a while."
He moved again as he apologized, and she shook her head quickly, feeling her feathery hair swish at the sides of her face.
"Not at all. In fact, I wish people would stop to acknowledge it more often. Most people overlook me," she chuckled awkwardly, before extending a pale hand, pausing her tune for just a moment.
"Arienna Malone. Pleasure." Salander Ari committed the voice and name to memory.
"Brave? Hardly," she said modestly. She almost corrected him on the word 'doubts', but she figured she wouldn't go there. Nevertheless, Ari blushed and smiled widely, ducking her face behind the cello momentarily.

"Thank you," she nodded her head,
"I'm fond of this one, too. Gotta hand it to Muggles; They sure can make good music."
