OOC: Oh the music is just getting starting so she's free to talk 🙂

((Okay))

"As you wish." He whispers to her.

She smiles at his whisper. At the dais, she calls out, "Guests, friends, and members of EarthRunes...happy IMBOLC!" She pauses a moment for happy sounds to die down. "We have many contenders here for the position of Troubador, and they will be playing throughout the hold for the next hour. Please wander and enjoy them! An hour from now, we shall hear each in turn, and then deliberate our decision." She nods inclusively to both August and Sparrow in this. "Now...eat, dance, and enjoy!"

"Hoobah!"

She laughs happily at that.

Some of the original staff still here seem surprised by the..ah, rather exuberant and brief style, the younger and newer crowd does indeed cheer!

August smiles, and stays close to Coradel.

Sparrow drags Jennette off to hear ALL THE MUSIC

She leans close to offer August an enthusiastic, but still PG-rated kiss.

He leans in... but then... remembers and keeps it PG.

The kiss ends, she beams at him, then gently tugs at his arm. "There's music to be heard, my husband!"

A sluagh girl in her midteens, she's got her earphones on, and electronic gear aplenty, she wears an airbrushed shirt that says 'DJ Careless' and she breaks out some EDM music, that is, electronic Dance music. Unable to sing, she samples, mixes, plays with sounds and plays it out again as something new. As if to show how she was inspired to take her name, it's obvious she's converted a mix of melodies with words from 'Careless Whispers'

"Heard, yes." He shifts from foot to foot.

_Never gonna dance? _ The words turn into a question, a challenge!

She can meet that challenge! She bounces onto the floor, beckoning for her companion to follow.

Jennette laughs and dances with her, blushing.

She pauses and looks at him. "August?"

Sparrow courts, dancing around Jennette - showing off, just a little bit.

In another area, smaller, a modest Boggan plays Annie's Song. Gideon was nervous at first, but now as he sings with just his acoustic guitar, his voice turns to gold.

"You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like a mountain in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again..."

August smiles. "Yes?"

"You're all right?" She smiles. ((Did he walk with her? the shifting from foot to foot thing made it sound like he was staying in place))

Her attention is captured by the boggan's playing, the lyrics....she blinks and listens.

(( He walked with them! Shifting was unsure......))

((Okay))

The fingering on the strings, the half closed eyes....

"Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again"

Sparrow showing off seems to erase any fear the Beaumayn had, adoration in her eyes! And she moves in orbit around her winged friend

She finds herself listening, leaning gently back against August, his arms circling her. At the end of the piece, she applauds with sincere appreciation.

August makes no move, other than holding her.

Gideon blushes.

She murmurs to August, "He's charming."

"As you say, my lady."

In another hall, a grand waltz plays, Mozart? A piano has a sidhe, Sir Demyan ap Varich who spoke to no one, and seemed stiff and aloof...even cold. But now he plays. And it is clear that he has passion after all, and it is no small thing.

The waltz tugs at her, and she tugs at August in turn. "Will you dance with me?"

His fingers dance along the keys, and his eyes flare with a light most sidhe only have for war or love making.

After dancing to the sluagh music, Sparrow is ready to continue - gently urging Jennette to pick the next.

Leonora bites her bottom lip as the Varich plays and talks to Thistlesnort, "Fifteen minutes ago I would have sworn if you liked him you'd have gotten stuck." //"Wuff" Thistlesnort agrees

Jennette looks about, "Well, we could..." she blinks and peeks into a room where a clurichaun bellows a heavy metal version of... The Minstrel Boy? "To the war has gone! In the ranks of death you'll find.. HIM! His father's sword he hath girded on and his wild harp slung be hiiiind him..." RIP AND SHRED the strings! RRARR

It's like a heavy metal singer, a good one, ate a celtic folk singer, also a good one!

August nods. "I will. Dance with you. " Sheepish. "I meant to ask you, Coradel..."And he dances with her.

And August moves, perhaps a bit stiffly at first, but he.. he does it well!

She smiles and turns onto the floor with him, her dress flowing with her steps.

And gets better the more he is lost in her eyes and the music

"I am horrified yet fascinated..."

Meanwhile, Jennette and Sparrow watch heads bang and cigarette lighter with balefire symbols light up "No chains shall SULLLLLAAY THEE! Thou soul of love and bravery! Thy SONGS were made FOR THE PURE AND FREEEE! They'll never SOUND IN SLAV-ER-REE!" Thrum Thrum headshake!

Jennette gapes "It's not bad, but it maybe evil?"

Spinning, whirling, gliding with him until the dance is done, and then she applauds the Varich and offers him a thank you.

She blinks. "Not.. not quite my thing."
