eswareinmal | 3rd Orb - 19th of Rebirth's Decline; Evening

[It's been a long day. Too many long days, but today was particularly taxing between being set free from a curse and injuring the two people she loves most in the process, briefly attending a farce posing as a wedding, and returning as many of her ill-gained goods as possible.

That Ginia happened to find a piano in one of the rooms of the castle was perhaps one of the best things to happen all day. So seated at the piano, having traded her armor and dark clothes for a dress and the only jewelry a beautiful emerald and silver necklace, Ginia sets the orb on the piano, offering the briefest of smiles, being she begins to play.

After she finishes the first song, she pauses before she begins playing her next song.

There's another pause before her third song. It's one that takes a bit of thought and she's not even sure if the person who she wants to hear it is listening, but even if he isn't, maybe someone else will get the message for themselves. So taking a deep breath, Ginia begins to sing and play.

Her fourth, and final song, may be a little strange to anyone familiar with it. However, as Ginia sings and plays Silver Bells, it's intended for one recipient only. Everyone else can simply enjoy it.

Once she's finished, she bows her head modestly and smile as the orb.]

I hope you all enjoyed that. If... you'd like to hear more, I'd be happy to oblige.

((ooc; Yes, that's right, Ginia is talking. As per this log, Helios enchanted a necklace (picked out by Giles) that allows her to talk. The necklace only works if she's wearing it, magic-canceling abilities will prevent the necklace from working.))

Out of curiosity, what sort of entertainment do you like?

[A pause, and a shrug.]

Books, mostly.

[History books, by the way.]

What kind of books?

Heavy ones. Preferably untranslated.

Maybe you'll find some of those books around.

Well, a girl can dream.

A girl can indeed.

I saw your note on the bulletin board. Going to the port, hm?

Trade isn't traveling by land anymore.

It's the only place to find news of anything outside of this kingdom.

Perhaps I'll take a trip out there myself and join you. If you wouldn't mind company.

Unless something happens, I'll probably be out there for a while.

I have a few things I'd like to try an find.

Like what?

[She grins.]

A ship or two which have sailed North or South. Perhaps a small building someone will lend to the heroes. Mermaids.

A good list. I think it'd be nice having a base out by the water too. Maybe find a way to connect the two locations so we could travel between them?

It may sound silly, but is that even possible? I know, well, magic brought us here, but sometimes things don't scale down well.

I have a friend who can teleport around and with people too. I could ask him if he knows a more permanent spell.

Goddess. Imagine the precision needed...we don't have anything even close to that.

It's quite remarkable. I can step in and out of shadows, but it's not over long distances like he can do. As long as he knows where he's teleporting and has the time to set up the spell, he can do it. [She chuckles lightly. Even after all this time, magic will never cease to amaze her.] Magic. It's something.

We have to learn how these people brought us here. If travel between realities can be controlled...

[Her breath catches for a moment.]

Maybe I could still save my people.

[If Ginia was by Liara, she might have put a hand on her shoulder or offered some kind gesture of understanding.]

One way or another, when this is over, I'll help you. I promise.

There's a good chance of not coming back from my war.

That's no problem. [She already died in one war. What's another?]

[Liara is silent for a monent.]

I don't have much credit, hero or not. Chances are good I'll be lucky to find anywhere to sleep. But if any other nation on the world is fighting the thorns, we won't hear about it here.

Then first the ocean, beyond that we shall see. After I've had time to sort things out here, and perhaps gather up a few items, I'll join you by the port. Will you be walking or going by horseback? I'm not sure if there are wagons that head out there, though I imagine there's at least a trader or two that heads out there.

I think I'll walk. Take some time to read, if I can find it. Maybe a few other things along the way. There is no reason for you to come out if you've something to do.

[Not a dismissal, but a statement of understanding.]

To be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing the ocean. I've missed it. And... I think I need a break from the city. [It's cruel leaving Giles and Helios so soon, but she still needs some time to mull over things and take a bit of time for herself.]
