First Trial - The Sound of Music [OPEN]
WHO: Anyone
WHAT: Alric playing some music and/or chatting with whoever drops in
WHERE: Music room
WHEN: A few days during the week, after or between classes
WARNING(S): None
Now that he's pretty well settled in and met some peopleand had some things to stress out over, Alric has taken some time to slip into the music room with his guitar when the coast seems to be clear, and play some music. Some rock, but a lot of emotive classical music, mixing clean guitar with heavy distortion that produces crunchy, rumbling low tones and crisp, sharp high notes, but he definitely plays it like a classically instrument despite the modern sound.
His playing, however, while not always technically precise, is skilled, and in particular, very expressive--some anger and frustration, in places like wide swaths of Vivaldi, but a great deal of longing, as in pieces like Faure's Pavane, or especially the juxtaposition of yearning and tempest in the theme from Swan Lake. Depending on when someone happens to come by and take an interest, they could hear a dose of either or both.

"Hydrodynamics is certainly one of the more mathematically challenging areas. I've... dabbled, but I've certainly got more to learn, myself."

Still no smile in return. Instead, Soren is still watching Alric carefully, guardedly. He's been here for a few months shy of a year, and he still hasn't learned how to really relax around others. But then again, that isn't entirely uncommon here.

"Ahh, yes, apologies, you're right... archaically, 'hydrodynamics' referred to the entire field of what's generally called 'fluid mechanics,' now. Plasmas are governed by 'magnetohydrodynamics,' so that's the terminology I've grown accustomed to thinking of. Entirely my mistake."
no subject
"If... you meant it archaically then... why are you apologizing? It's not a mistake...."
no subject
"A most charitable point of view, but the apology was for fostering confusion on a point of terminology--the modern term is more proper, after all, and you were quite right to us it. At any rate, please let me know if I can be of any assistance, when you do begin to pursue fluid mechanics."

"... one question. Why do you smile so much?"
no subject
"Is there a reason I oughtn't smile?" He pauses a moment. "I suppose I was raised to sustain a positive outlook on things... for my own sake, and for the sake of those around me."
He raises an eyebrow, tilting his head slightly.
"Does it bother you, somehow..?"
