Apples in Winter - [Archive!]

She blushed slightly, though whether it was noticeable or not through her bright fur was questionable. Oh y.. yes. I'll play someth.. thi.. thing a little faster this time! Lleurela hadn't really travelled in teh companionship of others for even the briefest of moments before, and didn't realize what did and did not make good travelling music.

She skip-hopped a little to to keep up with Osias, but she didn't mind. Being a shorter animal had caused her to get into fairly good shape, especially around her canine mother. . . Shaking her head quickly she barely caught the answer to her unfinished question. When she finally caught it she nearly squealed but caught herself.

Really!? Can. . I come with you? She could imagine it in her head. The queen sitting on a throne with musicians all around playing for her anything she fancied. Making for her, any amazing instrument she felt the need to play that day. If this wasn't the truth well, she'd be disappointed but she imagined that this is what happened in any court.

Because really? Isn't music the most wonderful thing in the world? And if someone held the power to be surrounded by beautiful music all day wouldn't they? She thought to herself in haste.

Here! A fitting song!

And at that she burst into a merry tune. One that spoke of sailors coming home after many long years at sea to see their loved ones standing on the shore waiting. It mirrored her own burst of elation at even thinking of entering the court. She'd be a jack at least one day. . . they'd see. Then she could bask in the music

Osias hadn't really ever traveled with anyone else, but he figured a more upbeat little tune would help one keep up the pace and of course it made things a little les... well.. .dull. Upbeat music also had little to no tendency of bringing back and painful memories a traveling companion may have that could hinder their progress as well, so naturally it was the tempo of choice. In the back of his mind he was pleased to be able to bring some traveling education to this little musician and he put his thoughts to words to clue here in on his theories.

Something a little more upbeat motivates others to keep a faster gait easier and detracts from the scenery which, depending on how far you're going, can get rather dull. Slow songs can also bring forward memories one might not wish to think of whilst traveling.

Ambitious as he was, he knew when to play the safe hand. She probably would end up staying at the Court as well and, being a 10, might bring him a bit of luck within the walls, or at least a 'friend' to take the monotony of life in the shadows down a notch or two, either would work wonderfully although one would obviously be preferred over the other. Because of these thoughts a little toothy grin emerged on his muzzle again as she asked if she could accompany him, my didn't this one just love to play right into his game.

But of course, I was hoping you'd wish to go.

With the tempo lifted his pace increases a bit as well but he was careful not to leave his little musician to far behind, wouldn't due to be rude now, not when things were going so well so far.

(( He's so mean X3 ))

She played through the quick tune, skipping beside Osias and doing the occasional twirl and whirl to the music. As the song finished she smiled at him.

Was that better? I know quite a few quicker songs actually :3

She continued to skip, not so much because she had to but because she wanted to.

So do you know how much further the Court of Spades is? I wonder what the Queen is like? 0o I heard she can be human, I wish I had a human form. Always wanted to see if I could whistle.

Lleurela grinned broadly at Osias as they continued on their way.

[Kitty]

Watching his fellow rodent companion was almost tiring, but it amused him terribly. He also noted the almost complete personality change in her as well as the lack of stutters. She was either more comfortable with him or just terribly excited, or, maybe even a combination of the two. He wouldn't bring it up, he much preferred the version of the little musician.

Yes, much better. Music can be a powerful motivator. And do play more, your quite the good little musician.

He looked forward, squinting his eyes a moment to better focus as he tried to get a better bearing on where they were. He believed he could make out the top of the Court now, but he couldn't be totally certain of this. And, as if she could read his mind almost, she questioned the distance left.

It shouldn't take to much longer actually.I've heard Queens can be temper mental, and human forms seem almost... like a weakness.

They were flashy, yes, but think about it... the body was covered in nothing by delicate flesh, they weren't exactly fast or anything else... no... he much preferred his bipedal form at this time, although the rank... now the rank he rather fancied.

(( I'll post in the Court of Spades so we can move this one further <3))
