The first time he went to Elly's house for a session he was beyond scared, he could feel his hands shaking on the violin case but the Blutbad answered the door with a huge smile and ushered him into her house. Roddy wondered how stupid he had to be to walk into a Blutbad's den willingly; he was just asking for death and torture.
"Roddy," Elly said moving him into the lounge room. "Have a seat, do you want a drink?"
"Thanks," Roddy said eying the plate of chocolate chip biscuits on the table.
"Have one, I have juice or milk."
"Water is fine," Roddy said picking up a biscuit slowly while Elly left the room, the first bite of biscuit crumbled and then melted on his tongue and Roddy couldn't bite back the moan of appreciation.
"Yeah," Elly said with a smile. "Those are Nick's favourites too."
Roddy stopped eating and collected every ounce of courage he had around him like a blanket before he opened his mouth. "How on Earth did you start dating a Grimm?"
Elly laughed. "Nick and I aren't dating. He has a girlfriend, when I met Nick he was trying to stop a Wesen who was killing young girls; he is different to the Grimm's my parents told me about. He never tries to hunt us if we don't do things wrong so I help him out with information and the occasional Blutbad scent tracking."
Roddy nodded, he could deal with that. Elly didn't seem jealous or anything about Nick and Juliette so Roddy figured he'd just read the whole situation wrong. Roddy ate about a dozen biscuits before Elly encouraged him to get his violin out, Elly pulled the cello out of its case and get into position, she had emailed him the sheet music when they agreed on meeting today and they tuned their instruments in silence before they start to play.
The first session went well, they made mistakes but Elly was quick to help him and regardless of what she said at his concert she is excellent and knows more about playing the violin than he would have thought, by the time he's packing up to go home Roddy was even looking forward to their next session.
