WELL since i can't find the gifset anywhere in the recesses of tumblr - basically anyone who touches the flute who isn't him gets like, bitten by the resentment energy inside it (the black smoky lookin shit, which is inside it and kind of flares out when someone not-him touches it), though it's more of a flash of pain and the mild echo of screams in your head than an actual burn or lingering mark.
all of which is to say: we totally can but he's gonna feel really bad about it.
if she already knows how to play the lute, they could always just duet their individual instruments too.
HONESTLY THE TINY HEART ATTACKS ARE like 50% because he's used to being the overly friendly one that other people dismiss in some way so her being overly friendly is so bewildering to his heart, and 50% because oh my gods, gilia, he's from ancient china and even he knows you can't say these things to other people.
