Mitch nodded silently in response to Selene's words. As much as he would like to discuss discovering one's own religion, spiritualism, and other such touchy subjects, he felt it to be an unwelcome topic for him to be addressing. Thus, he kept his mouth shut.
Mitch stopped playing on the guitar as Olivia spoke, and leaned forward, crossing his hands and resting them on his lap. "Well, he is a rather reserved man, and some people take time to warm up. I wouldn't take it too personally." He spoke gently. Hm. Maybe he should take his own advice. He sincerely wanted to connect with Dark, and he knew the man to be a good father from his brief observations. There's just an intimidation that he needed to shake off.
He found himself in quiet introspection until he realized what Olivia asked. He shook his head, getting out of his thoughts, and then looked down at his guitar. "Oh, of course! Hm... Where do I start?" He turned the volume knob on the guitar back up slightly so he could at least speak over it.
"So, there are some notes that, on their own, sound kind of weird, or dissonant." He played two notes together as an example. On their own, they sounded crunchy, coarse, and rather unpleasant. "But something really cool happens when you fill in the gaps between those notes." He fretted some more notes in between the ones he was playing, and strummed. The dissonance that was there before filled out. The sound went from rough and hollow, to full, colorful, and warm. It was like the rough scribbles on a canvas turning into a gorgeous, complex landscape with various colors.
"I think it's pretty fascinating, personally. Sometimes things don't make sense on their own. But when you look at the bigger picture, it all meshes together, and it just feels right." He strummed some more chords together, the tone of the guitar dark and full. "I, uh, I'm no teacher or anything, though. I don't know if any of that made sense."
