[Abigail sits at her harpsichord and smiles.]
Isn't this amazing? Curufin made it for me. It feels great to be able to play again. Hannibal was giving me lessons back home.
[She pauses and pushes any sadness at not having Hannibal there to listen, out of her mind.]
I think I'm pretty good. And I found something that helps me play. It's this.
[She holds this up to the camera]
I know it looks strange. It had this feeling I needed it. It took me a while to figure it out. it's a prosthetic ear. And it works. I need it because I'm missing one. I can still hear on that side, but it's muffled. With this, everything sounds more clear. So if you see me wearing it, don't get too weirded out. I cover that side of my head with my hair usually anyway.
[She steps out of view for a moment, clipping the 'ear' on while she's out of view, then comes back and sits at the harpsichord again and plays a a short piece of music. ]
It's cool, right?

I found when I went to see the new arrivals. There were a bunch of prosthetics there. I think this was the only ear.

I also like your prosthetic... It reminds me of something I would have worn back then.
「You know, back, back, back, then.」

[She smirks.]
Back in the days before cell phones and electricity? I guess it's a retro look.

「He chuckles at that, such a troll.」
Exactly.

[It was hard to follow the calendar while she'd been hiding.]

[She smiles at the memory of playing with him.]
He told me I had lovely fingers.

[whatever is making Abigail smile like that must be pleasant to think on]
You do. Have you ever tried sewing?

[Nothing other than what was absolutely needed.]

[also, embroidery is soothing]

[She gives her a smile.]
It might be fun.
