[Video | Open to Anyone | After Feast]

[This one looks rather ostentatious, though it isn't really through any choice of his own. He's red haired and dressed in Scarlets, muttering to himself and trying not to look too concerned. He's actually doing quite a good job of it, though the look in his eyes might give him away to anyone who knows how to read it.]

Safest Bard in Haven, indeed. [Never mind that he'd been the one to say that.] When Vanyel hears of this, I'll never hear the end of it. [Here he adopts a different tone, clearly imitating someone else.]

"Do you see, Stefen? I was right. My enemies will only use you against me." [Sigh.] Yes, he certainly needed another excuse to try and be rid of me.

Hellsteeth.

[He takes a few cautious glances around, but shakes his head. Apparently he doesn't like much of what he sees, but he does at least try to give an endearing, albeit self-deprecating smile.]

Would someone mind please informing me as to where I am? I'm afraid I've not much to provide in the way of a reward for your help, but I would certainly appreciate it. I'm sure I can find some way to repay you.

I haven't encountered them.

So clearly they don't exist?

If they do, they've missed my notice. I'm not saying they don't exist.

Fine. So you didn't. I suppose it isn't a bad thing to be unique.

It's not. [He lays back on the available bed, breathing in deeply.] It makes your life more complicated, but I'd rather be busy.

Yes, I'll just bet you would.

I can't help it. There are Heralds that joke about living one whole lifetime in ten, twenty or thirty years.

I really don't understand the lot of you.

Could you stop being a Bard?

It isn't the same.

Why?

Bards aren't throwing themselves in the path of danger on a regular basis.

Think of it as our performance. Could you be a proper Bard if you never performed?

[Sigh]

Fine. You win.

Should I apologize?

No, I suppose not. Though I'm wounded beyond belief. [Only not really

I do have some of the Healing Gift. Shall I close that wound for you?

You may have to. I might never recover on my own.
