#anywhere

"I guess. Like I said...I'm one of the very lucky ones." A troubled look out over the water again.

"Sorry, I don't mean to be a downer? Would you like to sing a happy song? please.. don't go away"

"Oh, no, it's okay...you're just making me think uncomfortable thoughts. But not bad ones. Stuff I should be thinking about, anyway, I guess." A game grin. "I'd love to hear you sing again, though, please?"

And she does sing, a modern tune this time "Try" ..it's so beautiful but perhaps not the tribal take she was expecting

And Sylvi is entranced, settling onto a rock to listen.

when it ends, she turns, "You like? I try to learn all sorts of songs from youtube and Vimeo"

"Yes! That was beautiful!" She smiles. "Thank you, Dika-Hannah." Then a sigh. "I should be getting back...there's a party, and it would be rude of me to stay away too long. I'd invite you, but...I don't know if I'm allowed."

'It's..it's okay" She takes a breath "Maybe sometime you can come back and I'll get you to walk on water.. I can show you were the other Emmisaries were"

"Other Emissaries?" This is news to her. "Um...sure. I'd definitely like to speak with you again. I don't know about the walking on water, though....we'll see."

"It's not so bad" She jumps on the water 'Until it gives out" A hideous grin 'Then sploosh gurgle" Ahem "Yes, I'll be happy to talk about the emmisaries then. Bye" She waves

A slight laugh that may come out a bit more nervously than she intended, and she waves before heading back to the Hold. If possible, she hurries directly to her room to make notes on what just happened so she doesn't forget any of it.

and off she races

She narrates the experience to Flopsy as she writes. "...and I really didn't want to shake her hand, but I did, and it felt awful, all puffy and ugh..."

Flopsy says ""Well, I'd say you can't always judge a book by it's cover, but the truth is some with the older bindings just taste better to nibble on"

"I really don't think you want to nibble on her!"

"Oh definitely not, I'm a vegetarian" He reminds "not a scavenger. It seems to me this talk of Emmeisaries before is very odd. Surely the baron would mention it?"

"You'd think so, right? And...i don't know how much I trust her. I mean, I want to trust her, but...just because she can sing doesn't mean she's not some kind of a trap. Like a siren, y'know?"

"It a lead though. My adviceis to find a way to spy on her when she doesn't know you're spying on her..if they know, it's not spying, it's performance"
