[ The qualifications for being a musician can't be any more than lungs to blow and fingers to strum, can it? Minato's eyes flick to the tell-tale ring of light at Conner's temple, but he doesn't say anything about it. He's heard about Conner from Hank, but only the single brief mention, nothing much more than of him being an android; Minato's own experiences of androids are limited, but in the end, he finds it easiest to just treat everybody the same, regardless of what they are. ]

Would you like to learn how to play? If it's a string instrument, I could show you that one much better.

[ and, if Conner needs a more concrete reason to learn than just "it's fun" or "it's interesting," ]

The mermaids back at the lake had liked music. The ones here appear to be the same. It wouldn't be a bad skill to learn, for the mermaids to learn you have a common interest, and they might be more open to talking, and stuff.
