(Allye leans forward upon the stool, a thoughtful expression crossing her face.)
Leayne softly says, "So much talent."
Couri beams at you! What a warm feeling!
Illiya nods at Leayne, obviously agreeing with her views.
You say, "This next song, it's... well, I'm not completely sure what it is."
Elurora cocks her head at you.
You say, "Perhaps you'll understand better."
Jaelia takes a sip of her tea.
Eionelthaniel smiles at Couri.
Rozalynde says, "Prolly good though."
Crobin nods to Leayne.
Eionelthaniel gently kisses Couri on the cheek.
You get a polished dragonwood lute patterned with delicate birch inlay from inside your lotusweave valise.
You pluck experimentally at the strings of your dragonwood lute. After a moment, you think maybe that it is in perfect tune.
Dilemma gives a slight nod.
Couri rubs Eionelthaniel's right arm.
Eionelthaniel smiles at Couri.
(Allye begins a sweet, strummed tune upon her lute. The chords shift and drift in pleasant harmony.)
You sing in a soprano voice:
"This house is a good house, I call it my own,
A full of my heart house, this house is my home."
Nilme smiles at you.
Leayne smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Elurora gazes thoughtfully at you.
You sing in a soprano voice:
"My children's sweet laughter echoing bright
Fingers trace banisters, up every flight.
A comforting settee beckons, the drifting scent of tea,
Set upon the table where it waits just for me."
Crobin sweeps Leayne into a dance.
Elurora blinks.
Leayne smooches Crobin all over his face.
(Allye's pick thrums at the strings of her instrument, and the song meanders along.)
Crobin pulls Leayne into his arms, dipping her back with a dramatic swoop as he presses his lips against Leayne's in a noisy smooch -- how ostentatious!
Leayne pales slightly, flushed with emotion, and falls to the ground, shivering.
You sing in a soprano voice:
"Down wallpapered hallways every door stands ajar,
The rooms filled with memories, like an untouched memoir.
My husband's black boots, beside my daughter's bookshelf,
And my blue eolienne blanket that I crocheted myself."
Vixonia angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at you.
Leayne leaps to her feet!
Nilme beams at you! What a warm feeling!
Crobin pulls Leayne towards him!
Leayne gets a large mug of pecan praline coffee from inside her rose colored haversack.
You sing in a soprano voice:
"Flickering candles in antique bronze sconces,
A draft sometimes whispers but heeds no responses,
Still, further down the hallway you'd steer, until...
Wait, there used to be a door here."
Cambin takes a sip of his ale.
You blink.
Harsh blinks.
(Allye stops playing, looking up in confusion. After a moment, she gives a short sheepish cough and begins to strum again. The familiar song drifts through the air once more.)
Leayne gets a blueberry and peach shortcake sandwiched between layers of whipped cream from inside her rose colored haversack.
Stelling gazes thoughtfully at you.
Vixonia angles her ears forward in curiosity.
Harsh quietly says to himself, "I bet that mouse knocked it down."
Nilme raises an eyebrow in your direction.
Leilanie smiles at Harsh.
Leayne takes a bite of a blueberry and peach shortcake sandwiched between layers of whipped cream and chews carefully on it.
You sing in a soprano voice:
"This house is a good house, I call it my own,
A full of my heart house, this house is my home."
Leayne nods to you.
Harsh smiles at you.
You confusedly sing in a soprano voice:
"I try to look closer, but that just can't be,
No steam wafts aloft from that cold cup of tea,
Webs gather in corners, there's dust on the floor,
As if no one has been here to tread anymore."
Couri frowns.
Leayne breaks down and bawls her eyes out, tears flooding out and dripping on the ground.
Nilme nibbles her lip thoughtfully.
You sing in a soprano voice:
"But that's not correct, no, I'm sure it was true,
If I just climb these stairs then-
Wait, what stairs?"
Illississ slumps dejectedly, curling her tail downward.
Harsh squints.
(Allye's delicate tune shifts into something distorted. Discordance creeps in, as the tempo grows faster and choppy.)
Nilme gazes at you.
Vixonia quirks one ear sideways in confusion.
Eionelthaniel grins at you.
You strangely sing in a soprano voice:
"This house is a... greenhouse, these seeds I have sown,
Withered and sere sprouts, a garden ungrown."
(Allye's tune suddenly becomes hectic, a desperate strumming of ugly chords that can't fit together, no matter how frenetic her effort.)
You frantically sing in a soprano voice:
"A window has shattered, somewhere in my mind.
I grasp for the pieces, for what's left behind.
The shards cut my fingers, or so it had seemed,
But now they've all melted, like ice in a dream."
Nilme frowns at you.
Illiya looks with concern at you.
You haltingly sing in a soprano voice:
"This house is a... what house? I knew it before.
This house is a..."
You shake your head.
A tear runs down Leayne's face.
Elurora furrows her brow.
(Allye's strumming carries on as her voice falters, but starts to slow as the mismatched chords tumble discomfitingly through the air.)
Eionelthaniel smiles.
Vixonia quietly says, "Wow..."
You desperately sing in a soprano voice:
"Empty rooms, empty hallways, only whispers remain
This house is this house,
This house... this house..."
Cambin applauds.
Crobin snuggles up to Leayne and cradles her in his arms.
Rozalynde furrows her brow.
Leayne sniffles.
Harsh gazes at you.
(Allye lifts her pick but doesn't still the strings, allowing the discordance to linger. Still, the ending of the tune offers a strange peace, as she sings the final verse unaccompanied.)
You softly sing in a soprano voice:
"This house... was my home."
Crobin places his hands on Leayne's shoulders and directs a soft, rumbling purr in her direction as Crobin presses his forehead against Leayne's.
You bow your head in acknowledgment.

Elurora says, "I'm not sure I understand but it was interesting."
Leayne leans on Crobin's shoulder and bawls her eyes out.
Eionelthaniel coughs.
You say, "Well, I suppose we shouldn't leave it there."
Eionelthaniel glances at Couri.
You rub Leayne in a friendly fashion.
Illiya grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.
Crobin rubs Leayne gently, massaging her muscles.
Jaelia looks at you and applauds!
A tear runs down Illississ's face.
Zaphara says, "I think they're a ghost."
Vixonia quirks her ears outward for a moment, blinking at you in surprise.
Grinning, Miskton pulls a swig from a large glass of Lemony Tart martini.
Zaphara nods to Elurora.
Aemaranth says to you in a melodic accent, "It is a beautiful song. I love it."
Leayne nods to Aemaranth.
Vixonia nods to Stelling.
You beam at Aemaranth!
Eionelthaniel sighs.
