Accidental Video | Seelie & Unseelie | sometime during a break in worm fighting

[bythewaves]

[ The locket comes alive with a voice - deep and wild as the sea, it sings a lament in a language that seems made for music. The songs starts partway, and it is obvious perhaps that the singer is not aware that he is being recorded. There is the flash of one of the Unseelie imps, before it vanishes offscreen to reveal the singer - a man, or something like one, dark haired and grey eyed, with his face turned up to the stars.

To any who listen, the words of the song will paint themselves in the mind - white ships and blood on the sand, a tall and proud people with bright banners beneath a new-born sun, fire and blood and tears unimaginable, and three brilliant jewels that rival the stars ]

[ A tired shrug ]

I have had little reason to, neither before, nor now.

[rapunzelf]

And you've found reasons that you should not, or invented them.

[bythewaves]

I have hardly had to invent reasons, lady, when so many of them have been flung in my face.

[rapunzelf]

Perhaps not, but have you not?

[bythewaves]

[ One eyebrow goes up ] I do not think I have.

[rapunzelf]

Really? That surprises me, as you talk.

[bythewaves]

I would have thought lady, that my reasons were all true.
