Gabriela

[cyrano]

It surprised me when I held her at first--after my experiences in the past, I didn't expect her to be so light, so delicate. It made me feel very protective, knowing that with a gentle touch I could make her sing, but handling her roughly would make her scream. I cradled her carefully, just stroking her curves, her smooth planes. I ran my finger up her neck, letting my fingernail catch. She purred softly, and a soft warm sense of satisfaction washed over me. All I had to do was tell her, let her know what I wanted. And if I performed well enough, she'd do anything I wanted. She wasn't a classic, but she was classical, and from a good family. Drawing her into my lap, I whispered that it was time to work on that C chord.

EDIT: She does not like being choked, and reacts badly to the capo.

Probably wise. You know how those classically-bred guitars can be. Just a little...high-strung.

Usually when she gets pitchy I just tune her out.

Oh come on! Double pun response.

I acknowledge your superior punnery, now that I am back from Being Out And Participating In The World.

I envy you from my sickbed, and will take what cold comfort I can.
