Rhaethe takes another sip of her Gin and cocks her head to the side slightly, her frank and appraising gaze now fixed upon Kiaria. She sees the minute details of the Koada'Dals well-masked discomfort and closes her eyes, thinking of some way to relieve it, as it was never her intent.

Under her breath, she curses Bryars in good humor for putting her on such a spotlight ... she was a tank and smith, not a bard. Damn woodelf never said it had to be a public audition to join his Troupe ... Just wanted to drum things .. not sing. Her fingers absently drum the table, instinctively finding different pitches in the plane of the wood. Finding a stattaco pattern, her other hand drums a counterbeat against her boot heel, the resulting melody deep and sensual.

She opens her eyes and continues the sliding beat, all the while fixing Kiaria with her ocean blue gaze.


Healer of All? I am reminded of a time I was in Stormhold ... back when I shouldn't have been, but there anyway. And desperately needing a Healer. This, my lady, then, is for you.

She continues to gaze into Kiaria's eyes and begins to sing, her throaty, unschooled tenor clear all the same.


(( The following is sung to Prince's When Doves Cry ))


See if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a group
The force of your buffs cover me
Can you my darling
Can you join my group?

Come if you can to Stormhold
An ocean of leeches in bloom
Skeletons strike curious poses
They sense us near
They look between me and you

Oh please just don't leave me standing
Alone in a room of red spawn
I swear not to be too demanding
Or keep you up till early dawn.
I'll keep all the aggro on me
Just keep me all purified
We can rest when you want to
This is what it sounds like
When ghouls die


Rhaethe pauses here and continuing to look intently into Kiaria's eyes, she nods in Bryars' direction, inviting him to join with his lute.

<Bryars takes a drink to hide his smirk from Rhaethe's accusing glare>

<He tapes his foot and bobs his head to the beat....His eyes close as Rhaethe begins her song...>

<Bryars reaches across the table to grab his lute...then leans his chair back.......>

<And plays along with Rhaethe's song>

Rhaethe nods again in Bryars' direction, singing louder and smiling encouragingly at Kiaria.


Heal if you will my health
See how I tremble inside
I've got the aggro all tied up
Don't make me beg you
Even tanks have pride

Oh please just don't leave me standing
Alone in a room of red spawn
I swear not to be too demanding
Or keep you up till early dawn.
I'll keep all the aggro on me
Just keep me all purified
We can rest when you want to
This is what it sounds like
When ghouls die

With that, she finishes, and settles back into her chair, again sipping at her Gin.

Hmm! That was certainly interesting ... not quite as upbeat as the fellow's, but having variety is a good thing. Are you a bard as well, perchance?

The Fier'Dal turns to the fudge-nibbling high elf and considers a moment before she speaks.

Me? A bard? No ma'am, I'm not, though it should have been fair obvious a few moments ago. I don't have the what-all to be a bard, really. Me, I bang and bop stuff around, be it drummin things or drummin heads. And that's beggin your pardon for being blunt and not being fine-mannered.

The bard here and I, while crossing paths, chatted and talked and chewed the fat, so to speak. And he has these grand ideas. Which I like, wouldn't mind bein a part of it all. But I have to pass his audition, see.

So's I wrote these dittys, and figured I'd try em out in some local taverns, to see which would work best.

But don't you know ... the first bar I come by has him a sittin right in it.

Imeriel looks at the wood elf and brightens, settling back into her husband's arms. She absently gnaws on a piece of fudge and gives Rhaethe as frank a gaze as she was given.

Ditties as in plural! Ahhh, so you have more than one song prepared, excellent. Perhaps a duet or choral piece perhaps? As I told Bryars, I tend to be more fond of music done in tandem or concert as opposed to solos and soliliquies.

Though, for our own dear Jasyn, we simply must have more cowbell.

Rhaethe sens an accusing glare in Bryars' direction, and then laughs.

Aye. Aye I would. Though I think yon Lady will not be a pleased until she gets her choral piece.

She glances at Imeriel and then at Anaris, then scans the rest of the room.

And methinks a bit of dancing is in order after that little downbeat ballad I attempted earlier.

(( OOC Note: Bryars was contacted for permission to use his emotes and words in the following post.))

Oh! Well then ... here we go.

The Fier'Dal bends over to whisper in the bard's ear. A slow and infectious grin starts to creep across Bryars' face as they confer. After some long moments, the two appear to disagree then agree on some points, and then the whispers fall silent as they appear to come to a satisfied conclusion. Rhaethe turns the the assembled comapny and speaks.


Well, seein as how this day seems to be a day of newfound friendships and alliances and such, I figure the day's entertainment should end with a finale of sorts ... a song in honor of one of Saga's own fine members, and a first exercise in duets for Bryars and myself ...

She raises her Gin glass in a toast ...

To New Alliances and Friends!

Rhaethe then downs the rest of the drink and turns the glass upside down on the table. Pulling out a spoon, she starts tapping the glass in a sprightly rhythym that Bryars picks up on his Lute.

(( Sung to Love Shack by the B-52's ... the parts of Rhaethe and Bryars fairly obvious to those who've heard the song ))




If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says 15 miles to the...
'View Spa! 'View Spa yeah
I'm headin' down the highway, lookin' for the beauty getaway
Heading for the spa getaway, spa getaway

I got me a cart, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the 'View Spa
I got me a horse cart, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your facial money

The 'View Spa is a little old place where we can get together
'View Spa baby, 'View Spa bay-bee.
Spa baby, that's where it's at, Ooo Spa baby, that's where it's at

Well it's set in the nook of the Bed and the Book,
Just a funky neat Spa oh I gotta get Spa

Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway

The 'View Spa is a little old place where we can get together
'View Spa baby! 'View Spa, that's where it's at!

Stylin' and a waxin', massagin' and a buffin', wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole Spa shimmies! The whole Spa shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around!

Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Funky little Spa! Funky little Spa!

Hop in my horse cart, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a cart, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your facial money.

Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
I can't hear you

Your what?

LoooooFAH ............... Trusted!

'View Spa, baby 'View Spa!

In a back corner, Adeste suddenly chokes on her drink and gasps for breath through the laughter.

Shaking off her earlier embarrassment at Rhaethe's intense scrutiny, the Koada'dal stands at the first strum of the lute. She knows this is a song which will require a lot of twirling.

Kiaria proceeds to twirl and dance to the music and words, gesturing to Anaris to dance as well. Leaning close to the tiara clad high elf, Kiaria calls something into Anaris' delicate ear, gesturing widely to the musicians.

She steps back, a wide smile on her face, as she awaits Anaris' response.

A stocky blind dwarf makes his way out of the back room, from behind the bar.
He is led by a burning ball of flame, that swirls around dancing into and around his fire-red hair and beard.


Wha' by Brell are ye doin' out 'ere?
Donna ye know this be a no bard zone?

The dwarf "stares" at the two minstrels. Then lets out a hearty laugh.

Yer both welcome 'ere. That fool elf, gesturing to one of two sitting together, there aint much as he once was, no offense to 'im, Alwynn, so it's g'ta have some music aroun' 'ere.

I think they both deserve a free drink, though no mo' fer Jasyn. We aint got an unlimit'd supply.

An' then mo' music.

He turns back towards his office and makes his way to the desk. Humming.
'view spa. 'view spa.

As Katu returns to the back room, Jasyn stops cheering for the latest performance, and feigns momentary deafness... just to be irritating.

Wha? Wha'did ya say, big guy? Free drinks for Bryars 'n Rhaethe? ... 'n half-price drinks for everyone else? Why, that's mighty generous of ya, fella!

A-woo-hoo 'n a-yee-hah!

Jasyn starts wandering around the room to take drink orders.

Imeriel twitches in her seat, wriggling. When she sees the other Koada'Dal ladies take a spin dancing, she whoops and pulls her husband out of his seat. Dancing with abandon, she grins at Tanuvan, twirling and bouncing around him.

See? Choral pieces ~are~ wondermous!

Sagacity and Rosebud, who've snuck up onto the table top and are dancing together once again regardless of Adeste's wrath, cheer wildly in sync. Adeste rises from her chair to applaud in pleasure. And in the corner, Skrrt even puts down her crackers and cheese for long enough to clap her paws together in appreciation.
