Music and Lyrics ((Tag: Sawyer!)) by Ayla Tremaine
During her break, Ayla was lucky enough to be able to visit Kit and Sawyer on her first annual “Tour de Friends”. She got to meet parts of their families, and see a little of their lives outside of Sonora. Now that they were back, however, Ayla seemed to be a little strapped for time between all of her different activities. She at least got to see Gwen everyday, and passed Sawyer in the common room, but she missed actually having face time with them. Plus she still had gifts to deliver! She asked Sawyer to meet her in the music room, which served dual purposes. She could spend some time with him away from their housemates, and maybe they could play something together.It had taken some time to figure out what to get him, but Ayla had settled on an Italian leather guitar strap and a set of mother of pearl picks. Maybe a little over the top, but she couldn’t resist. Sawyer was the only other person she knew who loved music like she did, and she thought he was great, so why not show him that?
She left a little early, and was happy to find the music room unoccupied. Ayla made her way over to the piano and sat down, placing Sawyer’s gifts next to her on the bench. She started to play a few notes, and then added chords, humming to herself as she played. It wasn’t a song that had words yet, just a melody. She’d been working on it for over a year now, but lyrics just weren’t her strong suit.
When she heard the door open, Ayla’s eyes shot up, and a dimpled grin appeared on her face.
“Hey, you!” She said, scooting to one side of the bench to make room for him and then patting the empty space between herself and the gift. “Thank you for coming! Do you want to play something with me?” She asked hopefully.

And Presents! by Sawyer
Sawyer was glad when he had been invited to the Music room by Ayla. He hadn’t had an opportunity to present her with her gift. It wasn’t much, but he had always been taught that it was the thought that counted. For Ayla, he had gotten her sheet music so that she could work on her music. She had an amazing voice and could play piano as well. He hoped this would inspire her to write all of the notes dancing around in her head.“Hey,” Sawyer replied taking a seat on the bench. He put his messenger bag down on the floor next to him. The gift safely inside. “Sure, let’s do a warm up first.” He figured that would be best cause they hadn’t practiced together in a bit. Plus, it was always a good idea when vocal cords were involved. “After that, if you want, we can play that muggle song you were teaching me. I can’t promise I’ll remember all the words though.” He half-grinned at her. He was only teasing her. Of course, he knew the lyrics just as he knew the notes.
After they had finished, Sawyer paused. “Before we continue, I have something for you.” He picked up his bag and rifled through it before pulling out a box, wrapped in silver with a red bow. It was terribly wrapped. He was awful at wrapping presents, but had wanted to do it himself. The paper was bunched in places and the corners folded oddly, but he was proud of it cause he had done it himself. He just hoped that she liked what was inside.

Who doesn't like presents?! by Ayla
Hanging out with Sawyer was definitely something that Ayla enjoyed. Aside from the fact that she thought he was cute, he was also really talented, and she loved how their voices fit together. “A warm up sounds good.” She replied with a smile. After all, you couldn’t expect to get the best sound out of any instrument without warming it up first. The voice was no different. She laughed at his comment about the song she’d been teaching him, somehow she didn’t believe him, but she’d find out soon enough whether or not he was bluffing.“I got something for you too!” She grinned as he handed her his gift, admiring his rather endearing wrapping before pointing to the box at the end of the bench. Naturally, it was wrapped perfectly in Teppenpaw yellow paper with a maroon bow. She paused for a moment before carefully opening her gift. “Sawyer! You are so great!” Ayla leaned over and hugged him before quickly returning her attention back to the sheet music in her hands. “This is perfect. Maybe now I can finish my song! Thank you so much.” She couldn’t keep the smile off of her face as she flipped through the blank pages, imagining filling them up with her own compositions. The thought of them writing something together even crossed her mind.
“Open yours now!” She said excitedly, as she placed her sheet music atop the piano.”Hopefully they aren’t terrible…” Ayla started, pausing to allow Sawyer time to open his gift. “I don’t really know much about guitar picks…”
