[ Reynir isn't very sneaky, but at least he knows he isn't very sneaky. When he had decided he was going to keep it a secret from Onni that he is learning to play the recorder (at least, until he's good enough that they can play together), he knew it would take some doing. He's sure that if he tried to practice in their cottage, Onni would come home unexpectedly or one of their neighbors would mention it or something else to ruin the surprise.
So he has made the decision to only practice outside the home. The only difficulty being... finding good public places, where no one will mind a complete novice fumbling through scales and very basic children's songs.
For now, he's been going to a little spot down by the docks; Onni hates fishing, and Reynir is hoping that he would have no other reasons to come down this way. He settles himself on a crate in a place where no one seems to be working at the moment, and starts practicing away.
It's not... pleasant to listen to, but he puts his heart into it, diligently stumbling his way through the basics that Elliot had taught him. At least, until he catches sight of someone walking his way, and lowers the recorder. ]
Oh - sorry, am I... in your way here? Do you want me to go somewhere else?
