Vanna: I'm actually delighted. It's a great way for him to bound with his grandmother and....again I'm just so impressed with his range of musical talents.
Zach: He's a real musical savant I'd say...I bet he could play the saxophone better than me!
Vanna: Well....to be honest anyone could do that...
Zach: Aw...c'mon Kitten...
Audrey: I know there's a lot o' darkness around how Marcus was trained....that still bothers me, and it's always gonna to some degree. But watchin' him play, he just seems...the boy looks so happy.
Dorian: Serene really...
Audrey: Exactly! I can't help but let him take the lead fer most of our practice sessions cause...just watchin' him beam like that makes my heart swell up with joy.
Vanna: I think music has really contributed greatly to Marcus getting more comfortable around the family. And now that he knows he can just do it all for fun, and we don't expect some sort of...restrictive regiment, I think it's only made him all the more comfortable.
Zach: At least he took to that easy enough, we're still strugglin' to keep him from doin' excessive chores...fer some reason I can't get it to stick that the boy's a teenager, and iffin' anythin' he should sleepin' in late and eatin' waay too much and other normal teenage thangs.
Dorian: Not every teenager was you Zach, ya' lazy pup...
Zach: I wasn't 'that' lazy!
Audrey: Y'all managed to go to high-school on three separate occasions in nothin' but yer pajamas...
Zach:*Mutters* It isn't my fault nobody stopped me...I was too sleepy to notice...
Vanna: At this point, I'm not quite sure I can say what I like more in terms of Marcus' playing. His violin or his piano.
Zach: I think as parents, we can't say. *Chuckles* We just like all of it by default...especially in Marcus' case. Iffin' we say we like a specific instrument, he'd probably drop the other entirely cause he feels he's obligated to make us happy.
Vanna: That's...not wrong...
Audrey: Well...I'm biased. I like his piano playin', but it's more so cause it means I get to spend time with my grandpup.
Dorian: As much as I love an excuse to have him at the Ranch, I'm probably gonna lean more on his fiddle...it's a real soulful instrument, and that boy...he's got more souls in him then most pups his age. He makes that violin sing...
Vernon: I'd rather not discourage my nephew...but I mean...I got sensitive ears...and the voilin is a bit too much fer me compared to the piano...I think you'll find that overlaps with at least half o' my brothers...
Yuri: Basically those of us who ain't got loud instruments as a side hobby. *shakes head* Gods, y'all remember Ully and his tuba? He had half of us screamin' whenever he was practicin'...
Zach: And yet he's the only one in the family aside from Ma I could say was actually good at his instrument. I mean, he was in the high school marchin' band...
Dawn: Luckily my ears aren't as sensitive...so I can enjoy Marcus' violin for the both of us Puppy.
Vernon: Thank the gods fer that...that boy needs all the positive feedback he can get...
