[Audio, Grab Bag - Singing]

[cawing]

[Naesala sounds happy, although he's couching it in his usual, somewhat arrogant tone.] That went well. Hm, after all that, it's irritating to return to the world of paperwork.

[There's a pause... and then he starts singing. He's no heron, but he can at least carry a tune.]

I'd never imagined before that the world could be turned on its head
I'd never have thought to be here in this place
I'd never have dreamt that in love I'd be lost and so easily led
I guess I was caught by that hint of a smile on her face-

[He cuts himself off.] What on-? I was hoping not to be virused so soon, but that was foolish of me. ...At least I'm in private, that would have been embarrassing.

Thinkin' it's private was pretty foolish of ya, too.

[cawing.livejournal.com]

That's just baiting the community to record it, isn't it?

[material_guy]

Shame not to record a show like that, anyway.

[cawing.livejournal.com]

I don't usually give out free shows.

[material_guy]

Free shows're this thing's specialty. You're one of today's feature attractions.

[cawing.livejournal.com]

I knew that much. If I'm performing, I should be the star.

[material_guy]

I dunno. You got a lot to compete with for center stage...

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

[material_guy]

Aa. There's the musical squire-monk, the pretty-boy with the candle and the bad attitude but a nice face, the talking animals, the magician clown... It's a real six-ring circus out there.

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Amateurs.

[material_guy]

You and the other musical acts gonna go have a dance off at the end of this virus thing?

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Only if we can charge for admission.

[material_guy]

The minute you try, this place'd make it free just because.

[Rose is just staring at the screen, surprise, and there is a slight flush on her cheeks. She doesn't realize that the video is on, but the tiger next to her that is snickering might have something to do with it.]

[Well, if she has the video on, it's only fair to have DDD record him too, looking a little less composed than normal. When he talks, there's a quaver to his voice that's usually only present in people thinking 'oh God oh God what am I supposed to say'.

With some edits for cultural differences, that is pretty much what Naesala is thinking.]

...Hello, Rose. You found this fairly quickly.

[Video]

[originaldragoon.livejournal.com]

[That is when Rose realizes she is being recorded and gives a sideways glare to the still snickering tiger. When she speaks, she also sounds a bit embarrassed.]

It came on as soon as I turned on my device this morning...

The community is fairly good at finding relevant posts, isn't it. [Is he red? No, couldn't be, trick of the light or something.

Flirting: not embarrassing. Possible love? Absolutely embarrassing.]

[originaldragoon.livejournal.com]

Apparently... [She's trying to ignore the heat that is coming to her face. The tiger next to her speaks up with a deep male voice.]

Don't worry, she liked it. [And Rose will be holding the tiger's mouth shut now.]

[Video]

[cawing.livejournal.com]

[That makes Naesala cheer up.] When did you pick up a tiger, Rose?

[Video]

[originaldragoon.livejournal.com]

[Oh good, a change in subject!] Arnau is actually my Daemon, the physical embodiment of my soul. He just happens to have the shape of a tiger. He appeared before during a virus while you were gone.

[Video]

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Hm, that's interesting. If he's part of your soul, he's never wrong about you, is that it? [Smirk smirk smirk.]

[Video]

[originaldragoon.livejournal.com]

[The tiger pulls away from Rose's grasp, looking smug.] Of course. I am apart of her after all. [Why is Rose getting a bad feeling about this conversation?]

[Video]

[cawing.livejournal.com]

I like you already. Heh, but that's a given, isn't it?

[Video]

[originaldragoon.livejournal.com]

It should be.

Why do I have the feeling of being outnumbered?

[Video]

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Oh, didn't you know? My goal in life is to cause trouble for you. It's fun.
