Dropping by on a Whim || Max & Siran

[siranaunet]

princemaxofkyrenia: 

Max nodded in confirmation “One thing you will learn about me quite quickly is I’m always either drunk or drinking” he grinned as he took another swig. The news of Sirans sister passing away and the fact that he was now drinking both came as a shock to him and neither were things he knew how to handle, well the drinking could be overlooked as obviously Siran was a grown man capable of making his own decisions but surely he should say some words of condolence about his sister “I am sorry for your loss Siran, I cannot say in honesty that I understand it but I have a sister and if I ever lost her well…I’m just trying to say that as a brother I could possibly get it” and that was why Max never did emotional conversations, he was total and utter shit at them. Clearing his throat he was relieved that the other man didn’t linger on that topic and instead moved on to something he could easily talk about “Does it? I’ve lived in places like this since I was a baby so I suppose I’m just used to it. The palace back in Kyrenia is much the same, different architecture of course but just as big if not more so. There is much more colour in our palace though, not anything crazy mind you but certainly less bland than this.” He had a feeling that the boy wouldn’t be too interested in talking palace decor so he moved on “So tell me Siran in just what ways has this fair city corrupted you? do not be afraid to speak your true mind, I may live in a place that looks like it gawks at the mere mention of impropriety but I quite enjoy stories of that nature.”

Siran decided to put the topic of his sisters death away not to be talked about on such an occasion. He could always talk about that and Max seemed understanding, he didn’t say anything that unsettled Siran or made him feel alienated, but his sister wouldn’t want him wallowing. 

Always either drunk or drinking? Siran didn’t know if that was even a good thing or a bad thing. Did Max try to boast with that fact, because Siran thought it might be quite sad or a serious problem. He’s heard of people who couldn’t stop drinking because of other problems, but again it wasn’t his life so he had no right to interfere. He put on a smile to interact with the other man mostly it was just his natural expression. Maybe it was a bit commiserative but he didn’t try to make Max feel like he pitied him, after all Max had the better life living in a palace and what not. “Well it seems like as a special treat today I will be joining you in drink.”, he raised his glass holding it out to the other man cheerful for now: “Let’s toast to that.”, and to whatever the future might hold for Siran he thought to himself. “So why are you always either drunk or drinking?”, Siran asked after all Max said to speak his true mind and not be afraid to do so. Sure he might not get a reply or a truthful one at that, but he could always ask. Uncharactaristically for Siran he seemed quite daring tonight, maybe it was the atmosphere of the city already influencing him maybe it was just that he didn’t want to waste the time in his precious life with niceties. 

“Hmm in what ways has this city corrupted me?”, Siran repeated the question out loud after taking another sip of his drink and setting it back down. He thought about how to best reply to that question as he put his elbow on the table and rested his head on his hand. With his index finger he tapped his left temple indicating his thinking process. “For one it has made me start drinking, I’m also pretty full of myself now. So many people telling me how great I am, people applauding I think it’s starting to get to me that I’m actually really good. And I don’t need to be shy about my talent.”, definitely that, also other things but he wasn’t sure if he really wanted to talk about them to Max, who even if he wasn’t a stranger was still not someone Siran truly trusted with... anything important. “Hmm as for the other things let’s play a game I’ll tell you three things and two of them will be a lie. Only one will be true. You guess which one it is.”, yes a game that would be something that would lighten up the mood and would also give him an insight into what kind of person Max believed Siran turned out to be. “One: I killed someone last week. Two: I have never mated before. Three: I was married once.”, he gave these options trying to gauge for a reaction from Max as he took his drink in his hand once more with a daring and challenging smile etched on his face.

Aftermath || Kailani & Siran

[siranaunet]

thetempest-kai:

“Siran, Siran! Stop, he’s dead, Siran.” Kai had turned up in time to watch the merman bash in the skull of the bandit. She went to him and pushed away the fallen harp and held him close. This might likely be his first kill and Kai felt for him. She felt broken hearted for him, his lost innocence and the fear that must be growing in his heart. She was on her knees with her arms wrapped around his head. “Shh…” she rocked him gently and slowly, smoothing down his sweat laced hair. “It’s all over.” 

His state reminded her of her first kill. It was different. She was fuelled with rage and anger whereas she could still see the lingering terror in the singer’s dark eyes. She gently nudged him away so that she could look into his face. Kai held on to his shoulders and shook him slightly, “Are you hurt anywhere?” she asked, her face the picture of concern. “Can you move your legs? Can you walk?” She was afraid that the sounds of their fight might draw the attention of the nearby guards so she quickly checked to see if there was blood flowing from any injuries that he might have sustained.

Siran didn’t know what he was doing when he bashed the harp into the man’s skull. Sure he knew it would hurt him or might even kill him but he wasn’t himself at all, he was acting on pure survival instict. He thought he knew fear when he ran away from his colony but this, this was a whole new level of fear. His life was more precious to him than his voice would ever be. He was shaking like a leaf his bloodstained hands in his field of vision and losing focus when suddenly his head was wrapped in Kailani’s arms. He didn’t move or freeze he just stood the way he was when she started to gently rock him. He only came out to find answers not to become a murderer. But was it even murder it was self-defense right? His mind tried to supply him with a justification for his behavior while he was still in shock. 

He looked into Kailani’s eyes as she asked him her questions. Like a puppep being moved he replied to her barely consciously there for this conversation. “I’m ... not hurt. It’s not my blood.”, came the raspy reply his sore throat still stinging when he spoke. “I think I can walk.”, and he was sure he could perform the task. maybe a bit shaky but he was sure of it.  “My, my hands... red.”, he tried to wipe them on something but there was nothing around and he didn’t want to use his own clothes, they would be a constant reminder of the deed he had just commited.

enchanting-barmaiden:

“Feel comfortable? Darling, I’d be glad to finally have constant company on my travels. It’s a bit boring when you experience the world alone.” She grinned softly and pulled her hands back so that they sat in her own lap. “And yes, we absolutely must. I will dance and put on an illusion like none the world has ever seen and you, my darling, will enchant the crowd with that beautiful voice of yours.”

The idea of performing with someone else, especially Siran, was a highly appealing thought. Azula had never performed with anyone else before, at least not on such a grand scale. She had performed with mediocre theatre troupes but that was about it. She wondered just how heavenly it would sound for them to sing together; Hers with power and seduction while he rang in with his gorgeous high notes and haunting tone. It was a lovely idea.

“Don’t think of it as using me, Siran. I’m the one that offered it to you, right?” His silly joke made her giggle a little as she thought that perhaps she’d finally have a travel companion. All of her other friends were Lords and Ladies, Princesses and Kings and Governors and people who simply had no time to be gallivanting around on adventures.

“I mean I like my home and having one. Also let’s not get ahead of ourselves we only just met today but it’s nice knowing that you would be fine with having me around. Peace of mind to know there’s always an alternative.”, just the thought of the two of them performing together was enough to send his heart racing. All the possibilities the two of them would have. He’d heard and seen her on stage and she had just as much of a presence as he did, albeit being a completely different class of performance.

“Well yes you did offer which is nice enough already but if I were to perform there I would much rather we perform together. Don’t you think that would be a great idea?”, he was starting to really get behind the idea of finally making a real friend someone who understood the workings of his trade. Suddenly he understood why peers were so important to humans. And that’s when he remembered that if he traveled with her he had to somehow go swimming once a day without her noticing. Or he’d have to tell her about himself, but for that he wasn’t ready. “But for now let’s definitely remain in touch. If you even want to write me address the letters to Lynette’s Tavern in Zagore. She handles all my mail.”

Aftermath || Kailani & Siran

[siranaunet]

thetempest-kai:

After Kailani had felled the first bandit, she heard Siran singing. There was a moment when she felt drawn to his song as well but that moment was cut short as the voice was abruptly stopped. Kai turned around and saw that both bandits were at the merman’s throat. Kai rushed towards the one who had clasped his hand around Siran’s mouth. She let out a musical wail just enough to distract both bandits for a fraction before she clamped her hand on the third bandit, turning him around to punch him in the jaw. He reeled but charged back at her so fast that she was unprepared. He hit her in the stomach, causing her to double over with pain. She stepped backwards, her tearing eyes still on the bandit. He came at her again, but this time she was ready. Pushing the pain aside, she drew her arm back to deliver a swift uppercut. In his daze, the bandit paused, giving Kai just enough time to rear back and kick him in the groins. When he crumbled in on himself, she knocked him out with a rock which she had quickly picked up from nearby her feet.When she was sure the man was out, the mermaid looked up to see how Siran was faring with the other bandit.

The third bandit had recoiled for a short while when Kailani launched her musical wail, but recovered swiftly charging once more. In his panic Siran’s reflexes kicked in and he stepped aside causing the bandit to tumble slightly and miss Siran. Siran grabbed his harp from his bag and bashed it into the bandits skull. He reached the for back of his head the instrument seemed to only have caused slight pain to the bandit and he turned around to charge once more. Siran’s throat was still slightly sore so he knew he couldn’t sing his way out of this and used the bandits own momentum to swing his harp at the bandits face.

The crash threw them both to the ground and the harp slipped from Sirans hand. As if his life depended on it he tried to keep the man away from him the two of them wrestling to get away from each other’s reach. In that moment Siran realized his life really did depend on it, this wasn’t just any other hypothetical setting this was happening right here and now and for once he couldn’t run away. Lady Luck was on Siran’s side when in a moment of distraction he threw some dirt in the bandits face and rolled on top of him. The bandit was still grabbing for the dagger hidden in his boot while Siran stretched to grasp for his harp. Just a little more, just one more inch! He tried to stretch without freeing the entrapped bandit under him and just when from the corner of his eye he could hear the metallic clang of a weapon, or so he thought, his fingers closed around the instrument and he pulled it close.In a fit of pure unadultared fear he started to bash, bash, bash, BASH the instrument repeatedly into the bandits skull until he was spent and the tarnished intrument fell limply from his hands.

[siranaunet]

Aftermath || Kailani & Siran

[siranaunet]

thetempest-kai:

The mermaid reflected on the question for a bit before saying “Happy? She was, though I think she missed you. She never really spoke about her family. Maybe that was her way of protecting you.” Kai raked a hand through her dark hair and looked at Siran, her mouth slightly parted. “Yes, she was courageous. She died in battle but before she did I think she tried looking for you. There was-”

The hooded man suddenly appeared, demanding a reason for their presence. Her hands hovered over the daggers at her sides. She wanted to tell the man that they were just having a lovers tryst, to steer then away but then she heard the laughs of two more men nearby. These weren’t guard, they were bandits. Kai looked at Siran and saw his eyes were wide with fright in the moonlight.

It was likely he’d never fought before then.Kai stepped close to Siran and whispered “Run if you can.” The three bandits were at either sides of them and closing in. The one who spoke charged but Kai easily deflected his attack by knocking his arm and disarming him. He was close enough Kai could smell the alcohol. She hit his face with her elbow and he was down and out.

Siran was frozen stiff his legs planted to the ground like a deeply rooted tree. He could feel the air around them tense and especially the way Kailani readied her weapons definitely meant that this situation was not going to just pass peacefully. He had spent so much time on the road or traveling and never in 4 years encountered any trouble but this time it seemed like he couldn’t run away anymore. When Kailani told him to run if he got the chance he relaxed a little once more in his life he was lucky enough to have someone else fight his battles. All he had to do was find an opening and bolt.

He looked around but he could barely see further than 10 foot away. He heard their footsteps though and by the sound of it they were surrounded. He didn’t know which way to go all he knew was that one them was dealt with by Kailani. Siran turned when he heard a noise his whole body still shaking as he took a few careful stept into the direction of safety or so he thought when one of the men suddenly grabbed his upper arm and pinned him to a tree. “Let’s see what you’ve got.”, the bandit said greed and bad breath stenching his every word. That’s when his merman instincts kicked in. He’d been hiding so long pretending to be a mere human that he forgot that he wasn’t. Using the proximity to his advantage he grabbed the bandits face and sang to him.

Come and swim with me in the deep blue sea...

As soon as Siran knew he had the man under controll he tried to issue his comand but the third bandit grabbed him and held his mouth shut clearing his Siren’s Song from the the other man.

enchanting-barmaiden:

“I have always lived at home. But there’s so much more out there that I want to see,” she said in a dreamy tone before sighing. “I love traveling and it’s always fun. And no, I’ve not performed for them but I am friends with them. I could arrange for you to perform for them if you’d like. My friend, Lord Robert, he is getting married soon. Perhaps you could sing at his wedding!”

“I’ve seen so much and yet nothing at all.”, he looked down at his bad and its sparse contents. He didn’t really have a lot to show for or care about he existed more than lived and music was the only thing left for him so he wanted to treasure it. “I’m not saying I want to, but if I wanted to travel would you feel comfortable with a travel companion?”, he asked and tried to imagine what it would be like to have a friend there sharing the fun times and the music. “Regardless we have to perform together I mean your powers and our singing combined can you imagine that?”, and for a few seconds he really tried but it was too amawesome to even imagine it, he came up with nothing. “Hmm I don’t want to use you to get employment I was just asking out of curiosity although it does have a nice ring to it.”, he made that horrible pun and he was confident about that decision.

Dropping by on a Whim || Max & Siran

[siranaunet]

princemaxofkyrenia:

A large grin spread onto Max’s face as Siran walked through the door, he hadn’t actually been sure if Siran would in fact come to visit him or if he had just been being polite that night. He was surprised when Siran reintroduced himself but then he remembered that he had been drunk, as always, and really the average person probably wouldn’t have remembered anything about that night “Siran of course I remember you! It’s good to see you again” he greeted him warmly as he shook the boys hand. He could tell that Siran was intimidated by the palace and just the overall setting and so set to trying to make the boy as comfortable as possible “Please sit down and let us chat” The prince gestured to a table where two chairs sat opposite the other, he walked over and sat in one picking up the goblet and taking a swig. “I’ve been well, just drinking too much and getting into trouble as usual” he joked with a laugh. “What about you? How have you been? What have you been up to?”

Siran breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that Max seemed to remember who he was. At least that’s one less hurdle to overcome. “Oh good I wasn’t sure if you would or if you even meant the invitation at all, you were quite drunk after all.”, he said bluntly not beating around the bush, except for a few life secrets Siran was pretty straightforward and honest. “It’s good to see you again, too.”, he returned the sentimen in kindness. Siran relaxed a little at Max’ demeanor and followed him to sit at the table that had apparently no other job than to seat Max’ guests. “As usual you say so you always drink?”, he asked out of honest curiousity with no judgement in his tone. “Hm I performed at the theater once, I found out about my sister’s passing oh and...”, he took the cup in front of him and took a gulp of the drink: “I drink now.  I didn’t used to before I came to the capital. It’s already starting to corrupt me.”, he also thought about the other despicable things he’d done while he was here but it wasn’t something to discuss with someone who was almost a stranger to Siran. “So this place looks... intimidating. How do you even life here it looks so uncomfortable and lifeless.”, he didn’t exactly mean the room but the entire structure of the building.

[siranaunet]

enchanting-barmaiden:

“I mean that I shall have to bribe you into traveling with me,” she teased. “It’s not often that I encounter someone with such talent.” She grinned a little, enjoying his naive nature. It was a rather refreshing break from everyone else. “You could perform for Lords and Ladies! Even Kings and Queens!”

“You do a lot of traveling? Don’t you like staying at home?”, he wrinkled his forehead thinking about what life would be like if he didn’t spend most of his time in Zagore. “Kings and Queen?”, he mused he always kept a low profile for the sake of not being found by his former colony but now that he knew of his sister’s passing and the fate of his former colony he didn’t need to supress his dreams of sharing his songs with the world. “That sounds like something I would like to do.”, he couldn’t yet fully live off of his singing alone but he definitely dreamed of it. Actually he had always wanted to return to the sea and now that he finally could he grew so attached to his human life that he felt he couldn’t give up his facade as a human singer anymore. “Have you ever performed for Kings and Queens?”

[siranaunet]

enchanting-barmaiden:

Azula felt the intense urge to giggle as he blurted out his tale of his first kiss. She also suppressed the urge to cup his cheeks and tell him how simply adorable he was. Instead, she offered only a kind smile and waited for his performance. She had a feeling that he was an excellent singer but this was entirely far beyond what she had expected.

She clapped vigorously when he finished, squealing excitedly. While her own style was bold, powerful, and seductive… His voice and performance evoked tears of sheer joy and awe. “Siran,” she breathed softly. “I was right! Your voice is… The gods must weep in envy!” Her heart was pounding, so moved was she by his voice alone.

“I know now that no other voice I hear could ever compare. They all sound like dying animals compared to such beauty.” She gave an almost dreamy sigh before beaming a wide smile. “You’d best watch out before I have to steal you for myself!”

Siran slowly finished his aria bracing himself for Azula’s reaction when he opened his eyes. He could hear her clap before she complimented him and made him turn the color of ripest strawberries. “I’m not all that good.”, he tried to downplay it. He felt like he wasn’t doing anything special it was just little old Siran singing. “Thank you.”, he blushed an even darker red when she told him that no other voice could ever compare. “Ehm I... er what... I don’t even know what to say.”, he felt overjoyed that someone as talented as Azula enjoyed his singing so much but then she said something that quite confused him. “Steal me? What do you mean?”

Dropping by on a Whim || Max & Siran

[siranaunet]

princemaxofkyrenia:

Max was startled awake by a knock at his door and the accompaniment of one of the palace servants announcing that he had a visitor, rolling out of bed he threw on the first shirt he could get a hold of and ran his hands through his hair in an attempt to look somewhat presentable and not like he had just been sleeping off a raging hangover.

He stopped in front of the mirror to quickly admire himself and fix anything that looked drastically unkempt before calling out to the servant “Let them in” he wondered who it was, if it were any member of his family they wouldn’t have bothered with servants they would have just barged in and if it were Roslin…well her just barging in wasn’t exactly a crazy idea but at the very least the servant would have let him know that someone of title was here. He summoned the servant that was already in his rooms and instructed the man to fetch some wine for him and his guest.

Siran entered the room after waiting for the servant to clear everything up. He knew that Max must have been someone of importance but he never expected he’d be important enough to kick up all this fuss about someone coming to visit him. He entered the room and looked around taking in the architecture before he even greeted Max. “Hey it’s me Siran we met in Zagore a few months back do you remember?”, he asked and offered his hand to shake.

“You said to come by if I had work here and tada here I am...I guess.”, one could tell that Siran was nervous with all the servants and the palace around them. He felt intimidated by the aura of this place alone. He hoped at least Max would still be the same regular eccentric he met some time ago. “How are you what have you been up to Max?”

[siranaunet]

enchanting-barmaiden:

She laughed as he seemed to immediately worry that perhaps he had strange lips. “Not at all. They’re quite nice. Kissable even,” she teased with a wink. She had been among the company of Lords and Ladies for so long that she forgot what it felt like to be truly admired by another. It was entirely flattering and endearing. “Yes, Fae can be rather bitchy. But it’s best not to toy with them,” she warned. “You never know if they graduated Academy.”

Crossing one leg over the other, she placed her hands on his arm and switched immediately back to her normal cheery self. “So! Let’s hear you sing! I bet your voice is just as ethereal as your appearance,” she said with a grin.

His eyes widened comically large when she started talking about kissing, without intending to actually tell this story it just spilled out of him: “Oh kissing a few years back when I didn’t even know what that was a woman did that to me. I was terrified I thought she was trying to eat my face. I think I cried a little.”, he shuddered at the memory but then laughed at how absurd he was reacting in retrospective now that he knew what a kiss actually was. “I’m not even going to pretend I understand what Academy is but fine I won’t toy with them or you.”, he almost drew back when she touched him he wasn’t used to being touched and he didn’t really like it but he knew that humans were more touchy feely than his kind so he didn’t pull away. Also Azula was a nice woman who helped him it’s not like her touch made him feel uncomfortable.

“Hm after that performance I don’t know if I will impress you at all.”, suddenly all self-conscious and slightly intimidated by her terrific performance earlier. “Ugh whatever quid pro quo you showed me yours I’ll show you mine.”, he opened his mouth but he didn’t know which song he would use so he just sat there for a while opening and closing his mouth like a fish. He decided to go full on out and pulled out his small harp from his bag and began to sing an aria.

[siranaunet]

Aftermath || Kailani & Siran

[siranaunet]

thetempest-kai:

Kai waited for Siran to reach her side under the cover of the forest. It was dark now and nobody would see them. “What answers are you seeking, Siran?” She wouldn’t know where to start about Nineve. She was a kind hearted mermaid but she could be vicious and now, watching how Siran tried to blend in with the humans, his demeanour- the mermaid chieftain was not sure if he knew that side of his sister. “She was loyal as I’m sure she was loyal to you.” Kai was curious to know about Siran, if she could help him somehow, to find closure if that’s what he sought. Before she could say anything else, she heard someone say “Halt! Who goes there?” 

When they reached the forest Siran noticed how truly dark it was around here he could barely see the other mermaid it would probably be safe to talk about sensitive matters here without being overheard or recognized immediately. “Was she happy, Nineve, was she happy even for a while?”, he asked hoping for a beneficial answer. He ran away from his pod to find his own happiness it would grieve him to know that he was on his way to obtain happiness at the cost of his sister’s happiness. “She was a true mermaid, courageous and strong.”, not like me a freak of nature he thought that last part to himself. “How did she pass? I need to know to make my peace with it.”, he asked but before he even finished he could hear another voice in the darkness. His heart made a leap and he could feel his heartbeat in his throat. How much did the person hear and who was that person? Siran was too floored to react to the voice and instead pleadingly looked at Kailani hoping she’d somehow handle the situation, as always.

[siranaunet]

Dropping by on a Whim || Max & Siran

It has been a week since he first performed in the capital and he decided to prolong his trip and stay a little longer. He could use the vacation and he had a desire to see the world, also he promised to sing once more at the end of the week. He used his days to walk the streets and talk to people make new acquaintances although he was quite sure nor all of them would be lasting ones. Today he had planned on paying Max a visit he’d been here for a while and he hadn’t yet looked for the other man. Sure they said they’d talk if Siran came here but it was a passing conversation and Max seemed slightly drunk so he didn’t know how much of it was polite banter and how serious he was about contacting him? Max seemed like someone who could mean future possibilities of employment so he might impose even if Max didn’t mean it.

When he was finally where Max told him to ask for him he didn’t know which of the guards or attendants to ask. He’s never quite been at any kind of palace. Shyly he approached a servant and cleared his throat to get the servant’s attention. “Excuse me, can you help me please?”, he asked the servant and although she was looked slightly surprised she nodded and decided to help Siran. “I am looking for Max can you help me find him or deliver a message?”, he asked smiling at the staff member trying to mask his nervousness at being at such a place as himself and not as a paid performer. The servant gave him a funny look she looked taken aback but Siran didn’t ask her what that was about. He was glad she was willing to help at all. “Thank you”, he told her when she led him to Max’ room. The servant knocked on the door and announced a visitor.

[siranaunet]

enchanting-barmaiden:

“You have a singer’s lips,” she teased as she sat next to him. “Fae aren’t particularly competitive, no. But they can be pretty elitist when it comes to blood purity. My father is human and it took the Fae of Vaasos a few years to accept him. Even then, we’ve never lived inside the city. Always on the outskirts.”

Siran quickly raised his right hand and touched his lips with his index finger trying to feel what a singer’s lips would be like. “So do they look weird or?”, he asked tilting his head in confusion. When she told him about Fae society he was quite surprised. “Wow that’s not very nice of them. And actually very stupid. It isn’t the blood of a person that makes them who they are.”, he felt like Azula handled this and didn’t need any words of encouragement from him she seemed like a strong brave woman who knows her way and he admired that. “I think you’re amazing and talented you could definitely be an elite.”, he complimented her truthfully flashing a small smile.

[siranaunet]

enchanting-barmaiden :

As her song and dance ended, so did the illusion. Once more, they were inside the dark and empty theatre. She giggled and flew towards him, sitting in a seat next to him. “I’m going to take a wild guess… You sing, right?” The compliments made her blush and bow her head some to hide how wide her smile was. “I only got one power from my mother. I worked hard to make sure that I surpassed all the other Faeries to prove that I was just as good as they were. Better, even. It paid off in the end.”

His eyes widened at her attempt to guess his talent and he didn’t even know how she guessed that. He turned in his seat to face her. “How did you know?”, he confirmed her guess. “I don’t really know about Faeries and their powers but if that performance was that power than I can definitely tell you have it down to a T. Are Faeries also very competitive?”, he asked omitting the “like merfolk” part.

[siranaunet]

enchanting-barmaiden:

“Well. I can do many things. I can sing, dance, and act. But those can be so mundane. Every now and then I’ll let them book me and I give one hell of a show.” Grinning, she took his hand and began to rush him inside. “You’ve heard that Faeries can touch you and create little illusions, hm? I do far better than that.”

She guided him through the empty seats and placed him in the front row before flying up onto the stage. She gave a wink before weaving an image for him. She didn’t often get to use her abilities for show, generally using them as a way to get out of trouble. But she couldn’t deny that showing off was rather fun.

A single spotlight shone upon her as she breathed out slowly. A haunting tune seemed to play from everywhere and yet nowhere while a scene of rolling clouds against a night sky lit from within grew behind her as she sang. She danced to the rhythm, her blonde hair flowing. She made it appear as though she could perform magic tricks, intricate explosions and creations of light flowing from her fingertips.

It was one hell of a show.

“Wow you can do so many things I can’t dance to save my life.”, he laughed at that he wasn’t really the leg kind of person but she couldn’t know that. When she pulled his hand he follower her inside seein as it was his destination anyways. He didn’t have much time to take in the giant empty auditorium but he was already overwhelmed. “Faeries?”, he didn’t really know of Faeries except the few tidbits he read about them in books but as soon as the show started all his questions lost all importance and he just watched Azula perform.

He had to force himself to keep his mouth closed or his chin might have touched the floor. He had a huge smile plastered on his face as he enjoyed what was happening in front of him. “Amazing, beautiful.”, he had nothing on that. He could sing a little but this, this was something else entirely. When she finished he just there too in awe to actually say anything productive: “Wow!”

last promise broken
