He did say it would take a while. Fortunately for Akaya, he could sit for hours practicing and composing, even with other things going on in the same room. He might not look like it from the outside, but he could be incredibly focused when he put his mind to it. There was a particular refrain he was working on for one of his new songs that needed tweaking. In the hours that went by, he managed to complete it, along with the guitar solo that he stuck in near the end of the piece.

Akaya looked up from his guitar and tablet where he was composing.

"All right, then," he said, looking mildly impressed. He set aside his stuff and strode back to Omi and tested out the synth. His fingers glided across the keyboard, playing out the tune he'd just completed.

"You're good."

Akaya grinned. His fingers played out a few more variations and chords, testing out all the possibilities. "Some of the chords sound tinny, but I think adjusting the equilizer should fix that."
