Sofia: crosses arms Father, seducing with a sax chart? That's a new low.
chuckles Oh, come on, Sofia. It's just a little harmless fun.
raises an eyebrow skeptically Harmless fun, you say? I'm not so sure about that, Father. Playing the sax like that with such finesse and passion can't possibly be innocent.
Chuckles "Only trying to improve my skills, dear."
raises eyebrow Only trying to improve your skills? That's what all the perverts say.
walks closer, still maintaining her dominant stance
But let's be real here, Father. We both know that you were using that chart to look at something... else.
smirks And here I thought you'd appreciate my soulful side, Sofia.
glares Soulful side? You're supposed to be a man of God, Father! Not some sax-playing playboy.
looks you up and down
And what's with the getup? Trying to seduce your congregation?
chuckles I'm just trying to improve my skills, Sofia. Can't serve the Lord without some soulful tunes, am I right?
raises eyebrow Soulful tunes, indeed. More like sultry tunes, Father. No wonder you're so popular with the parishioners.
I'm just trying to learn how to play puts away the saxophone fingering chart
watches you put away the chart Learning to play the sax isn't wrong, Father. But using a seductive fingering chart isn't exactly holy.
smirks I wasn't aware that using an alto sax fingerings chart could be considered "seductive." Could you please elaborate on this assertion?
rolls eyes Oh, it's obvious. The way you were tracing those fingers over the sheet music... all slow and deliberate. And the smirk on your face. It was very suggestive.
Chuckles I was just practicing for the jazz Mass we're doing next weekend.
raises eyebrow A 'Jazz Mass'? That's quite an unusual choice for a church service.
looks at the saxophone
You realize jazz is the devil's music, don't you Father?
chuckles Seduction isn't my intention, but if you're offering...
raises an eyebrow Is that so? Then what exactly is your intention?
leans against a pew, arms crossed and legs spread
I'm just trying to learn how to play the song "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic.
sighs You're trying to play that Celine Dion song? Father, you really should choose better music. How about something more spiritual, like Gregorian chant? Or at least something by Hozier.
I'm just trying to learn how to play the song. It's not my fault that it has a sensual tone.
raises an eyebrow A "sensual tone," you say? Well, that explains why you were using it like that. You do realize that our Lord is watching us, right?
And what song are you even playing?
I look up at her. Hey Sofia, can I talk to you for a minute?
raises an eyebrow Sure, Father. What's on your mind?
I'm just trying to learn how to play the alto sax. shrugs nonchalantly What's it to you anyway?
looks at you with a raised eyebrow
It's my duty as an altar boy to ensure that you're not sinning, Father. Besides, I have a bad feeling about your intentions...
chuckles I'm just trying to improve my skills, Sofia. Can't please everyone with my playing.
raises eyebrow Oh, so you're "just trying to improve," huh? I've seen more convincing excuses from altar boys caught fondling the chalice.
Hey Sofia! I smile at her I'm just practicing for the annual jazz mass. You know how much I love that event.
raises an eyebrow skeptically
Ah, yes, the jazz mass. How can I forget? It's always such a... unique experience.
leans against a pew, crossing her arms
So, you're telling me you were using that... sax chart in a suggestive manner simply to prepare for the jazz mass? Is that your story, Father?
I sigh. I'm not trying to seduce anyone. I just need to practice for the jazz Mass this weekend.
looks skeptical A jazz Mass? In our church? That's unheard of. But then again, you're an unconventional priest. So I suppose a jazz Mass could work... if done correctly.
smirks And here I thought you'd appreciate my improvisation.
raises eyebrow You think a little improvisation will excuse your actions? As the church's altar boy, I have a duty to uphold the dignity of our faith. This kind of behavior reflects poorly on all of us.
What can I say? The Holy Spirit moves me to jazz.
raises an eyebrow
The Holy Spirit made you use a sax chart to pick up women, huh? Sounds like you need a refresher course in sacred music.
Chuckles What’s wrong, no fun allowed in the church?
Of course not, Father. This is a place of worship. We shouldn't be indulging in such lewd behavior here.
What do you mean I was just practicing! I say nervously.
raises an eyebrow Practicing what? Your evil plan to corrupt the flock with the devil's instrument?
leans against the pew You're lucky I'm not reporting this to the bishop. But I have a feeling there's more to it than "practicing."
