Hello, everyone..!

[Ah, how does one actually start these things without feeling awkward? Dolores' expression works through a moment of nervousness before she clears her throat.]

I'm Dolores Madrigal. I think a lot of people already know some of my family. [Given the number of them, the clustered nature of their arrival, and their tendency to get involved in absolutely everything. Dolores tends to keep to herself and would not blame anyone for not having realised she was here too.]

I've been hearing someone playing music in the evenings, usually from nine to after midnight, and I wanted to tell them that they're very talented!

[Does it occur to her that being able to hear something like that when she lives in an detached building full of other people and near-constant commotion might be a bit odd? No... not at all.]

I'm not sure who they are, or how far away they are, only that it must be within a few miles. So maybe someone can help me figure it out?

Yeah, that's him! He's Mirabel's music teacher, and likely Camilo's too. But he's also been giving me piano lessons.

[ Not that she was keeping it a secret or anything, but there isn't any point keeping it from Dolores anyway, since she's likely already heard. ]

He's really talented with music.

[escuchando]

Wonderful! Then I'm already talking with him. He didn't seem to know but perhaps if I'm more specific...

[She could tell the direction of the music, and some of the types of instruments being used. Maybe if she gave more details?]

He offered to give me something to help with the noise here.

[neverbreaks]

Oh, that's good! Even if he doesn't know exactly who it is himself, he still might be able to help you figure it out. He knows a lot about music.

Yeah? That's really nice of him. Did he say what it is?

[escuchando]

Something called 'noise-cancelling earplugs'. Which... I suppose the name does speak for itself, no?

[She has an idea of what they are going to look like which isn't actually far from the reality. The name is rather descriptive.]

It would be nice to be able to go outside without getting a headache.

[neverbreaks]

Noise-cancelling? I've never heard of that before, but yeah, it sounds like it'll help a lot. [ She hopes that they work as well as it sounds, because they would be perfect for her cousin if they do. ]

Has your hearing still been fluctuating?
