[She awakes to find herself in some very stuffy armor that's fitted to her body. She struggles with the helmet while in the Dreamberry's sight, trying to get it off. When she is free (a miracle given the key in her head), she tosses it aside on her bed. Before she even has a chance to question the armor there's a sensation in her right hand that

[and here's Raven dressed in his musical costume. complete with hat and instrument]

Well now, if it isn't little miss A.B.A. Enjoyin' that key?

[whoreforkeys]

Very much, yes. I don't quite understand how it came into my possesion, but I will not complain.

[She finally tears her eyes away from the key to look at the phone and has something else to be interested in when she sees his costume]

I think something strange happened to you as well, Raven.

[rainofheaven]

I think it's all part of the costume.

[blinks as he notices her looking at him, and gives her a sly wink and a grin] I kinda like it, personally. [and here his voice changes slightly to have a bit of a deep, dramatic tone] The wandering minstrel, telling his tales of heroes of yore! [a few plucks of the strings for an impromptu tone before he stops and looks back at her cheerfully]

Pretty sure everyone's found themselves in the same situation.

[whoreforkeys]

[She has to laugh a little at the way he gets so into character. Even the quick tune has her smiling softly]

I don not think I'll mind it much myself either. [She brings the bladed key to her armored chest to hug]

I hope everyone else in Somarium is having such a good time as us if that is the case.

[rainofheaven]

Well lookin' through the Dreamberry, seems like some folks have it worse off than us. So we oughta be grateful this world decided ta be kind ta us, right? [winks]

[whoreforkeys]

Oh dear.

[She knows she should feel some remorse for the people that were mentioned, but that small wink has the smile staying on her face]

I suppose you're right. You certainly seem very good at playing that instrument. Have you ever played anything like it before?

[rainofheaven]

[it's the old man charm. gets 'em every time.]

A little here, and a little there. [makes another quick impromptu strum before he chuckles] Actually I don't really play much, but seems ta come naturally for some reason. Perhaps milady would like a song~?

[whoreforkeys]

[She would be crazy to say no]

Yes please. [She seats herself more comfortably with the key in her lap] I must admit that I do not know many songs myself. So, I wouldn't mind hearing whatever is familiar for you. It would be a treat.

I don't know what I just wrote either.

[rainofheaven]

Well if the lady so wishes, then her minstrel shall happily comply~ [and he gives her a cheerful wink before clearing his throat as he did a few warm-up strumming]

This is a song of a woman I once met back in Dahngrest. [and he continues to sing the following words in the most over dramatic way possible, and in a deep baritone. there's really no rhyme or sense to this thing but he's just making it up as he goes anyway just like me]

Such a fine lass I ever did see.
Slender, long legs didst walk past me
I gave a holler--
--But oh!
It would only lead to tragedy.

For ya see there she had a guy,
A guildsman no less, one of the strongest I knew.
So when he caught me I grabbed my hat--
Said, "So long me bonnie lass!"
And off to the hills I skidad't.

[and he does a quick little playful strum before he gives a rather comical and cheesy flourish]

Pfffft... a total masterpiece XD

[whoreforkeys]

[She has no idea the song has been made up on the spot. To her it's likely something he's heard again and again and was nice enough to play for her. Either way the words that are sung are enough to have her laughing with how silly they sound. The tune very easy on the ears. By the end of it she's clapping, having set the Dreamberry down so the action can be seen]

Very nice. Not only can you play, but you have a nice voice for the music as well. Mmm, though I'm certainly no expert. But, it sounds good to me.

XD XD XD

[rainofheaven]

[having received the desired effect, he gives her a clownish grin before bowing, once more with dramatic flair.] Thank you~ Thank you~ I'll be giving out autographs after the show~

[whoreforkeys]

[She gives a playful smile of her own]

I'll have to get one of those. I am sure you will be quite famous with such talent.

[rainofheaven]

You give me too much credit, A.B.A. darlin'.

[a pause before he leans in for a conspiratorial whisper] But maybe I should give a public performance, huh?

[whoreforkeys]

Yes!

[She quickly covers her mouth once she realizes she said that much too loud. They're supposed to be whispering. So, she makes sure to lower her tone when she next speaks]

I mean, yes. You should let others hear such a nice sound. Though, I am grateful that you've allowed me one of your first performances.

[rainofheaven]

[gives a low chuckle] Anytime, darlin', anytime.

But I'm sure ya got a lovely voice yerself.

[whoreforkeys]

[That's enough to have her looking a little shy, so she turns her eyes to the key she still clings to]

I have never tried, so I can't be too sure.
