After eating Lucius decided to explore a bit, after all he needed a place to practice both of his “passions”, violin and the training his mom gave him since he was young. At first he didn’t really want to continue it, the collage being an escape from all of it. Now as he was here, on this first day, he felt it would be a bit strange to just stop. After all, it was already part of his self.
Going out of the cafeteria Lucius wanted to find an empty or maybe secluded place to practice his violin. After all he knew he wasn’t that good, even with all the praises he got, he was still unsure of his playing. “The campus would be too crowded, a forest would be nice.” He thought to himself. “Off campus a bit but still viable.” He muttered while scratching his chin. “A bit” was a grave understating it was at least one or two miles away, still his training had him going for much more daily so he wasn’t that concerned.
Since it was decided he gripped his violin case and moved in the direction of the hills shortly entering the forest. Before increasing his pace he decided to “store” his load so it wouldn’t hinder him. Using his hoodie’s hood as a gate, he stored it, then started running at a slow pace. For Lucius it was a slow pace, for anyone else it would be fast, after all he jumped around the trees, used branches to move and in general trailed up the mountain.
After a short while he came to a trail, following it for a while he went up finding a small clearing along the way. It was a nice place, a bit secluded, but not that far away. Half of it was covered in the forest’s shadow, making it seem kind of eerie, Lucius liked it though. It somehow calmed him, made him forget about things. He sat on a tree stump roughly in the middle of the clearing and took his violin out. After inspecting and tuning he started playing. His eyes closed a half smile on his face, the soft music resounding with the forests’ quiet.
