Slowly, the tune is joined by the breathy grace of the shawm and then by the spritely plucking of the harp. Dhairn nods slowly. Faulkil attempts to hum a merry little tune. Rohese takes a tiny sip of her warm lavender tea, warming her lips and making sure it's cool enough to drink. Rohese turns an inquisitive ear towards Ilsola. Arcania's spirit appears to be lifted by the singing. Arcania renews his songs. Ilsola sings with a soaring soprano: "Once you visit it is hard to believe- There is anything else you need Than the view of the open seas Or the fruit from Fickles' trees." Vender's puppeteer tattoo shifts about restlessly. Vender's marionette tattoo seems to grow increasingly more restless as it mills about. Finally, it gathers itself and wanders over to his ear before settling down. Ilsola sings with a soaring soprano: "The harbor is where artists thrive Every day there are more that arrive They come ready to learn and grow Working to share what they know." Maleisse lets out a little squeal of delight. Arcania applauds. Arcania lets out a cheer! Rohese gazes proudly at Maleisse. Running in a rhythmic circle around each other, the shawm and piccollo create a spritely tune. High Lord Sighisoara just arrived. Sighisoara moves to Rohese's side and they lace their fingers together. Rohese beams at Sighisoara in admiration and with a loving gaze. Sighisoara closes his elven cloak with a flourish, causing its hem to swirl about his ankles. Rohese kisses Sighisoara on the cheek for what seems like an eternity. Maleisse nods to Vyctus. Ilsola sings whimsically: "If you need to get away and reprieve- When you feel like you can't breathe- Like you're drowning without any air- Mist Harbor is ready to share!" Vyctus smiles at Maleisse. Soledat smiles and nods her head slightly in time to the rhythm. The harp creates a small cascade of scales that seems to reign in the dancing piccollo and shawm. The melody returns a bit more confined, but none the less whimsical for its presence. Ilsola sings with a soaring soprano: "Island living is what we promote Get yourself an bungalow or boat Everyone needs a time to unwind Mist Harbor is relaxation defined" Rohese nods to Maleisse. Velai nods to Maleisse. Rohese whispers something to her group. Ilsola sings with a soaring soprano: "Colors you never thought could exist Made more vibrant against the mist Birds with feathers of ultramarine Flowers in fuschia, coral and citrine" Maleisse blushes a bright pink to the tips of her ears. Khystra smiles. Rohese gazes fondly at Maleisse. As if escaping its confines, the piccolo runs away from the melody to create its own counter rythme that is light and carefree. Ilsola sings whimsically: "If you need to get away and reprieve- When you feel like you can't breathe- Like you're drowning without any air- Mist Harbor is ready to share!" Rohese whispers something to Maleisse. Rohese fans herself. Dhairn gazes up into the heavens. The shawm and harp hold their final notes, while the piccollo rises into a delicate aria before finally fading away. s>applau You applaud. Rohese claps her hands. Soledat applauds. Lithyia applauds. Soledat exclaims, "That does a lot to promote the island!" Soledat nods. Ilsola smiles. Ilsola agrees with Soledat.

Arcania looks at Maleisse and hums. Speaking curiously to Ilsola, Soledat asks, "Are you a trained singer as well as an administrator?" Soledat blinks at Ilsola. Ilsola says, "I felt my voice falter a bit on the higher notes, but I suppose." Ilsola nods to Soledat. Rohese waves her hand in a dismissive gesture. Speaking softly to Ilsola, Rohese says, "I never noticed." Ilsola says, "We were all once something more before we became what we are." Ilsola smiles at Soledat. s>say {ils} was afraid to hold out a glass when you hit some of those notes Speaking to Ilsola, you say, "Was afraid to hold out a glass when you hit some of those notes."

Velai pours herself a cup of warm lavender tea. Velai helps herself to a lavender and almond flour biscuit. Vender removes a cup of Acantha Leaf tea from in his black hat.

She appears to be an Elf. She is average height and appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has guileless lavender eyes and porcelain white skin. She has calf-length, smooth alabaster hair that descends behind her in feathery tapered lengths. She has a very petite nose. Her snowy eyebrows are cultivated into slender lines, the color accentuating her eburnean complexion. She is in good shape. She is wearing a trio of layered vaalin links, a strapless tuberose white gossamer gown painted along the layered airy skirts in a wash of subtle ecru with a lustrous vanilla satin chemise with a length of fluid fabric loosely draped over one shoulder underneath, a smooth opal ring cradled in twisted vaalin, and some tasseled sandals of glossy vanilla cords knotted from ankle-to-toe atop demi-wedge heels. Maleisse studies Ilsola, giving them an intense consideration. Arcania nods. Ilsola says, "They were created under the aid of several merchants and I hope that you find them pleasing." Ilsola says, "I ask that you please wait to open them until after the ceremony is complete, or at least the formal portion." Pumpkens just arrived. Ilsola says, "Also, and Bremerial I forgot to say this to you, please read the note within first." Pumpkens just went east. s>nod You nod. Corlyne smiles at Maleisse.

Arcania hums a fancy little tune to himself. Vender turns the container over and something very bizarre forms beneath the container and the narrow end aims upwards. There is a hissing noise and suddenly a stream of Twinklefairy mead flows upwards to the flask. All this is most puzzling, but as you ponder things, you note the flask seems to be getting full. Then the whirlpool vanishes with a barely audible "pop" sound. You stare at a thimble of Twinklefairy mead that is full. Full to the brim in fact, but upside down. Vender deftly flips a thimble of Twinklefairy mead right side up without spilling a drop. Vyctus opens the cover on his grey leather bankbook. Vyctus studies his grey leather bankbook for a moment. Lithyia takes a drink from her mug of coffee. Ilsola nods to the minstrels. The dim aura fades from around you. Dhairn inclines his ear, but doesn't hear anything unusual. Maleisse purses her mouth, pondering her birch linen press. The expression on her face speaks volumes. s>listen brem You listen carefully to yourself. Typical. Punctuated by the gentle thumping of the tambourine, the song rises like the gentle waves of the ocean. Light at first, the lute and mandolin strum a delicate rhythm that rises and falls. Winding its way, like a dove seeking land, a fife begins a soft melody through the center of the piece that slowly grows sonorous. Rhigale takes a drink from her warm lavender tea. Dhairn nods curtly. Ilsola sings ethereally: "Oh Siren of tempestuous seas, Your beauty now we hail. Resplendent in your finery- Of nature's comely veil." Rohese tilts her head down.

Sighisoara just nudged Rohese. Rohese wrinkles her nose. Rohese nods to Rhigale. Velai glances appreciatively at Rohese. A slight whisper of wind is the only indication that a droopy-jowled shadowy black mastiff has wandered off. Rising to meet the fife, a delicate reed pipe takes on the tune and the fife allows it by falling into a gentle rise and fall of delicate chirps and trills. Ever present and calm, the mandolin and lute continue their tune. Arcania's spirit appears to be lifted by the singing. Arcania renews his songs. Ilsola sings ethereally: "Crowned in mists of pearly white,-And bathed in waters blue. Fair maiden isle of wondrous tale. Bedecked in verdant hue" A faint silvery glow fades from around Sighisoara. The silvery luminescence fades from around Tabrina. Maleisse dreamily observes, "So poetic." Rhigale adopts an agreeable expression. The bright luminescence fades from around Tabrina. Soledat nods in agreement to Maleisse. The brilliant luminescence fades from around Tabrina. Rohese bites her lip. Continuing its gentle rise, the flute trills into the higher registers and seems to leave the other instruments behind to create a quiet backdrop of ebbing and flowing sounds. The dim aura fades from around Tabrina. Rohese kisses Sighisoara on the cheek for what seems like an eternity. The powerful look leaves Tabrina. Sighisoara kisses Rohese on the cheek for what seems like an eternity. Rohese smiles at Sighisoara. High Lord Sighisoara just went east.

Vender's marionette tattoo shifts about restlessly. Rohese whispers something to her group. Velai blinks. Velai glances west. Velai surreptitiously glances around the area. Velai just went west. Slowly, the fife rises to greet the flute, but both are rebuffed by the form sound as the tamborine makes its presence known. Loud, yet rhythmic, the beat scolds the flying wind instruments to return to the gentle rhythm of the strings. Maleisse just left. Maleisse just arrived. Maleisse joins Rohese's group. Arcania just went east. Ilsola sings with a soaring soprano: "Though Charl's Teeth gnash with every squall- And fierce Four Winds blow- So proud are we to call you home- Our archipelago" Lithyia beams! Rohese bites her lip. Lithyia takes a drink from her mug of coffee. Soledat murmurs, "Ooo, an inclusion of Charl's Teeth!" The tambourine falters, and gently dies away, but the fife rises from the softening sound for a single, lone trill. Carefully, the other minstrels stop playing and allow the fife to draw the song to conclusion. Rohese lets out a long, contemplative breath. Lithyia applauds. Khystra grins slowly. Soledat applauds.

You did the words justice." Ilsola blushes a nice shade of rosy pink. Ilsola exclaims, "You are too kind!" Riend smiles at Rohese. s>dismiss You can't do that with both hands full. Ilsola removes a polished gold key trailing purple and grey ribbons from her belt.

Rhigale smiles at Shartoose. Rohese gives Shartoose a lingering kiss on the cheek. Dhairn helps himself to a cranberry apple scone. Shartoose nods to Rhigale in greeting. Shartoose says, "I had a strange feeling to come here." Ilsola says, "Please, guests, feel free to partake in the refreshments provided." Dhairn takes a bite of his apple scone. Maleisse stares at her birch linen press. Ilsola indicates a sterling silver serving cart as a possible option.
