But of course - are you planning on singing without music or...?

I'd definitely like music, if you're volunteering -

Then you have my aid, Winn.

[ He laughs softly and strikes the opening chords of the song for him ]

Just say the word.

[ behind him, the dictating pen hermione gave him has been hard at work writing down the lyrics. so he turns to grab that sheet of paper now and nods. ]

I knew a girl, a clever girl,
From a town of cold and rain
Oh she smiled at me, and she laughed at me,
But our hearts they were the same.

Her eyes were bright, her tongue was sharp
Her mind of quicksilver made
Oh she smiled at me, and she argued with me
And we love the same video games

I knew a girl, a studious girl
This gift she'll probably hate
The lyrics are too easily analyzed
And the score written past 1798.

I knew a girl, a brilliant girl,
And as luck has it I know her still
As I string words together she surely will scoff
But it won't change how I feel

She likes to read and she likes to learn,
She likes to teach me too!
Oh her smiles are bright,
And her eyes are sharp
But her mind is sharper still!

If you happen upon her remember these words
Though her appearance misleading may be
There is no kinder soul than this little nerd
Please forgive me for now I must flee!

[ Maglor laughs and joins his voice with Winn's, winding around his in support and he smiles ]

Well done, well done! I think you have done an excellent job, Winn.

[ there is a definite proud little blush there, he hasn't done any creative writing in the fleet and he definitely never tried writing lyrics before and he's just so glad he managed to come up with anything at all. ]

Thanks Maglor - seriously, couldn't do it without you. Now we just, gotta record it so I could send it to her.

I am glad to help, Winn. So! How do we do that?

I'll set up the camera -

[ he does that ]

And we hit record, sing it, then I upload the file and send it to her. Easy peasy fresh and squeazy.

And then we wait for her retaliation, hm?

You can stay off camera if you want, I'll totally get it -

[ Maglor laughs ]

Ah now, what sort of friend would I be to leave you to face the storm alone?

[ he pats his shoulder. ]

You -- are a good man. Ready?

[ So briefly Winn is clearly imagining things, shadow flicks through Maglor's eyes, but he laughs ]

When you are, Winn. On three?

[ he might be imagining things, he's still a little out of it from his coma, all them new memories. or maybe he triggered something, he doesn't know maglor well enough to ask, though, does he. ]

On three -

[ he counts down and hits record ]

[ As Winn hits record, Maglor bows to the camera with a wink and strikes the opening chord, stepping back to give Winn center stage, his harp dancing under his hands ]

Oh I know a girl~

[ he sings, acting through it. when the song is done he turns off the camera. ]

That sounded pretty good, didn't it?

I think it did. [ Maglor grins at him ]

Well done, Winn! We will make a musician of you yet!

Thanks!

[ he tilts his head and frowns a little ]

You know, that does seem to be my character arc in this show...

Oh? [ Maglor tips his head curiosly ]

[ he shrugs ]

I don't think I sang at much as I do here in a year in the rest of my life combined. But Kitty likes it, and I have musician friends now, and it's fun so, I don't mind.

Music is a joy, and you have a good instinct for it. I am glad you had the chance to learn that skill here!

Thanks, Maglor. Means a lot coming from you.

[ Maglor laughs softly ]

Thank you to sharing your gift with me!
