Rone chuckled a bit and said, "I think I've yet to meet a person that isn't picky in their own way. One of the nice things about drumming is that, as long as you don't care about reading music you can just pick it up."
He refrained from speeding up again but made the rhythm more complicated. He even pulled out his wand so he could add some rolls in.

Cameron laughed. "True..everybody has their own quirks."Cameron replied. She grinned. "That's cool. I don't really know how to read music, but hey, that's the good thing about not playing an instrument." Cameron started to nod her head with the beat of the music he was playing.

"Only reason i can read music is because my parents tried to make me learn to play the piano at one point. I never got farther than knowing note names and how to read rhythms. But all i need to know is the rhythms," Rone said as looked around frantically for something to use as a second drumstick. "I don't suppose you know a spell to conjure up a pair of drumsticks?" he asked.

Cameron nodded. "I know the notes and all, but that's about it."Cameron replied. She looked at him. "I think so.."She said. Cam thought of something. I wonder if the accio spell will work..worth a try...or not..Cause then I wouldn't know where they came from... Cameron thought. Cameron muttered a spell, and a pair of drumsticks fell onto the floor. "There you go!"

"Thanks!" Charon doublesticked w/ the left hand while he picked up one drumstick with his right hand, then did the same with the other hands. "Now i can really get some funky stuff going!" He said, as he added more rolls, paradiddles, and other rudiments.

"You're welcome."Cameron said. She laughed. "You're really talented, you know."Cameron said. He was, atleast Cameron thought so. "Maybe I can dance, freestyling with it.."Cameron muttered. She thought for a moment, while figuring out the beat.

"Thanks," Charon muttered. He looked down as he flushed slightly. "I just enjoy this, I never thought of myself as very good," he said as he played a swiss army triplet followed by a triple ratamacue. "I'd like to be able to play like some of those drium corps guys. They're insane!"

Cameron smiled. "Your welcome."Cameron replied, "that's a good thing..."Cameron found herself looking at him. She sorta shook her head, and returned her gaze back to the ground. Cam became quiet for a little bit. After a while, she spoke. "Yeah, they're good."

Still drumming, Rone looked up. Going suddenly quiet didn't seem like this girl's style to him. At least, not unless-- "Something wrong?" he asked. he tried watching her face to see if he could learn anything from it, but it was at a bad angle for him to see clearly.

Her gaze remained at the floor. Cameron looked up. "No..nothing's wrong.."She said rather quickly. She blushed a light pink. Cameron looked at him. Her green eyes sparkled again, and she looked at one of the suits of armour.

Rone didn't exaclty believe her, but he knew that if she wasn't willing to say anything was wrong right away, she probably wouldn't be to happy if he asked her a second time. "Ok. Hey, weren't you going to dance, or am I just drumming for my own amusement?" he asked as he picked up the tempo again. "Not that I mind drumming for my own amusement. I just need to know cuz if you're gonna dance I have to keep the tempo steady, which i don't have to do if you're not dancing." As he waited for an answer he reveled in the sound of the drumsticks hitting the floor and the armor.
To his dismay, he soon noticed a slight difference in the sounds from the 2 sticks.

Cameron thought for a few moments. "Oh, um..I guess I can dance..It would be fun. I can improvise."Cameron replied thoughtfully. She smiled. Cameron stood up. "Give me your best."Cameron laughed. The sillyness was coming out in her again. The song, "hit me with your best shot" popped into her head.

Charon grinned as he started thinking of things he could do. "All right, but if I'm as good as you say I am, don't blame me if you can't keep up," he replied.
He suddenly switched from a straight beat into a fast swing. At the same time, he made an impromptu drum set with parts of the nearest suit of armor. Luckily it wasn't enchanted and couldn't walk away. With his new ersatz drum set he got up a quick jazz beat.

"Oh, don't worry. I can keep up."Cameron replied. She grinned.
She listened to the music first to see what she could do. Thinking of some dances, she started to dance to the music. It was fast and steady. Cameron knew what to do. Jazz...I can do this...Cameron thought as she was dancing. Cameron held her hands up gracefully as she danced. She rounded her arms as she turned. Natural habit for her.

Charon was really getting into it now. But he knew what the difference in the sound of the sticks meant. He was hoping that it would work out, though.
He looked up from his "drum set" to watch Cameron dance. And he had to admit, she was pretty good. Time to see exactly how good, he thought, and quickly switched from jazz into a rock beat.
