[He's still as he finishes, lowering the violin and bow and just holding them in his hands as he started at the fire, not really seeing it. He heard Miles, and he let the words sink in for a few minutes before he turned.
He moved toward the chair, putting the violin and bow back in the case and slowly tying the neck in place. He braced his hands against the chair as he felt that familiar vertigo as he stood again, but it was only there for a moment before it passed, and he carefully crossed the room. He leaned himself against the wall near Miles and crossing one ankle over the other, his arms folded across his chest.
He just stood there, looking out over the courtyard, noting absently that his footprints had been already covered over by the falling snow. The occasional cold breeze rattled the window just a bit, drifting in and forcing the haze of smoke apart.
He shifted a bit, reaching down and resting his fingers over Miles', slowly plucking the cigarette from his fingers and bringing it to his lips. He took a drag of it before holding it out for Miles to take back, his eyes never leaving the courtyard as he did.]
