You sing?" he asks, pleased. "I do too, on occasion." And his singing is much better than his skills, or lack thereof, with the flute. "Maybe we can sing together one of these days." At the very least, he'd like to hear Cisco sing. It feels like he probably should have already known this about Cisco after the years they'd worked together, but for some dumb reason he never cared about his former rival's hobbies in the past. Probably because it wasn't something he could have used against him or thrown in his face. But he's glad he knows now. Hartley's finding that he quite likes learning all these new things about Cisco, and he's grateful that he is so willing to share this side of himself with him.
He's just about to suggest a future karaoke date when the waitress returns with their drinks. He gives her a smile and a quiet thanks before turning his attention to Cisco's next question. Usually when they discuss his work, it almost always has something to do with the gauntlets, he hearing aids, or whatever Cisco might happen to be working on at the time. He's never discussed the flute with anyone, and until now, he hadn't been sure he ever would. He's still not sure what, if anything, will come of it. But it's refreshing having the option to talk about it with someone.
"I'm thinking about something entirely different, actually. Well, not entirely. It's still sound manipulation... but taken in new direction. People really underestimate how much can be done with sound..." He leans forward a little and lowers his voice before continuing. "Whether it's emitting the kind of sonic vibrations that can bring down buildings or using music as a form of hypnosis." Because hypnosis sounds so much better than mind-control.
"But just because it can be done, doesn't mean it should be done, hence my concerns regarding the ethics of this project."
