“He’s a little in love with Jester Lavorre... uselessly, uselessly in love with her”
_______________
I’ve been getting more and more into this ship, and Liam’s confirmation of Caleb’s feelings both warmed and broke my heart.
Today I was listening to “Satisfied” from Hamilton and suddenly started to change some lyrics in my head, as if it was Caleb singing about Jester.
So I decided to go ahead and rewrite the whole song <3
This was really fun to do and I’m quite happy with it, I hope you like it as well!
If any of you would like to cover this, feel free to do so (just let me know, I’d like to hear it!) ^^
I remember that night, I’ll never forget that night for the rest of my days
I remember you took the stage, when you played the piano, I gave you Haste
I remember Hupperdook’s candlelight like a dream that I can’t quite place
But dear Jester, I’ll never forget when you ran to kiss my face
I will never be the same
The kindest of eyes and a confident stance
And then you came by, and you asked me to dance
Took me by the hand, gods you held my hand,
This I had not planned…
“Are you staying here? Did you know that your coat smells really bad?”
“I’m sorry but what do you mean? We’ve only just met.”
“There’s showers here. Just go and take a bath”
“A what, now?”
“Get in water and take a bath.
My name is Jester Lavorre.”
“Mine is Caleb Widogast.”
“What’s your friend’s mask for?”
“Unimportant. There’s a million things we haven’t done but
Just you wait, just you wait…”
So this is what it feels like to care so for someone by your side! It’s something I’ll have to hide.
It’s the feeling of living, of seeing the light
And when she smiles it’s most beautiful sight. Amazing right?
That night the waltz lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes
Every step we took in total agreement
She’s the lead, and I just follow her dance
I was a little drunk, maybe why I took a chance.
She’s a bit of a flirt, and I break at the first glance.
I think about my family, my past and my sins
Then I remember Astrid, what all that means
And I know this will end before it even begins.
Strong girl, boy, does she know it!
Big heart, and not afraid to show it!
But then deep down I know I’m just a disgrace, and when I turn I see my two friends’ faces and they’re
“Helpless…”
Look at Beau, she is
“Helpless…”
And Fjord’s eyes are just
“Helpless…”
And I’ve long realized three fundamental truths at the exact same time
I’m all broken inside and that not even Jester could ever fix
My mom and dad are gone and I’m the one who is to really blame for it!
So I’m not worthy, I’m a criminal and she’s godly
Oh what a Bless
Can’t confess, my love is no more than useless
Ha! That doesn’t mean I want her any less.
It’s not just me who looks at her like this. Really hard to resist her charm
I’m not the only one in the Mighty Nein.
So I step aside. I’m certain Fjord or Beauregard will hold her hand tight.
I’ll stick to my magic, that’s what’s right, I have history to rewrite.
I know my friends, I would trust them with my life
Both of them alike, every bit as loyal and as kind
If I told them that I love her they’d be silently resigned
Would she be mine?
They’d say they’re fine
They’d be lying
But then someday up late at night, I look into her eyes
And I can’t help but say, I might have power but it’s really her
Who changes people
I’ll be her friend, I’ll stay by her side
I’ll still have all of my love to hide…
