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

[shadedsunlight]

[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.))

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

[shadow_sage]

[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.

[shadedsunlight]

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.

[shadow_sage]

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.]

[shadedsunlight]

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.]

[shadow_sage]

I wouldn't object. It couldn't hurt, having another set of eyes and ears.

[shadedsunlight]

Then my eyes and ears are yours. I'll catch up with you when I can. Maybe I'll have news on whether or not such a spell is possible too.

[shadow_sage]

We'd have to find places to make the connections at, first. If it is possible. I haven't spoken with many who are...well funded by our gracious hosts. I suppose I'll just have to try...charming them.

[shadedsunlight]

I wonder how far our... influences reaches? If our status as heroes can't be used outside of Schwanheim, we'll have to find something to barter with, if not find a place to buy outright.

[Or persuading them through other tactics. Everyone has a price.]

[shadow_sage]

Yes, well. Asari are renowned negotiators. I'm sure I can think of something if comes down to it.

[shadedsunlight]

I have no doubt of that.

Well, it's getting late and someone's waiting for me back at the house. Keep in touch?

[shadow_sage]

If anything comes up, you'll be the first to know.

[If you need to know, Gin, but that remains, naturally, quite unsaid.]
