*Hangs a Merc banner above the fireplace, ignoring Dwem chasing after Cyren with an axe, while she chased back with a towel. Memories. How long had it been since her Merc had walked the blood darkened wood of the Sword Swamp tavern? How long since he had danced upon a table top, for her and only her. How long since he'd pulled her behind the bar for a little slap and tickle (more slap than tickle, she had her affinities)?
*sighing*
"Kattah, Dexbramah, its time for a torch song."
*the bats, quickly changed course, stopping their descent from the rafters towards her outstretched hands to a direct line for the open window.* "STOP IMMEDIATELY, YOU VILE BEASTS! *regaining their obediance, they stopped flying and fell in a heap to the ground, crawling now to their Mistress.*
"Now, lets just pull the piano out from the back room, and dust off this snare drum. Kattah you know the song I want you to play, Dex, you just soft snare along - in 4/4 time PLEASE (Dex was known for his love of jazz and the solo chaotic rift)."
*the piano arranged, Kattah pulled on dark sunglasses, while Dex lit a swamp weed cigerette. Lighting the torches around the Tavern completed the flickering smoke filled atmosphere needed for a really good heartbreak session. Laying an arm along the top of the piano, her head rested like a broken flower on the stem of her arm.*
*bluesy notes filled the tavern, soft snare counter point to the snap of Cyren's towel, and Dewm's "SON OF A BITCH, THAT WAS MY JEWEL BAG!"
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for some adventure - new.
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.
