The Soothing of the Soul



In his mind, he wondered why he had gone through his years without enjoying music. The first time he heard of the music, it was being played by this harpist. It was such a soothing sound to him. Then as he was talking to the woman known as Daisy, a woman with a lute had come by. He would admit that the one with the lute had played beautifully. The woman who was playing was rather pretty as well though he was transfixed on her playing. Unfortunately, Daisy had left the two in a hurried manner.

He continued to listen to the lute player, eventually sparking a conversation with her. She had told of him about where she had come from and what had happened to her to where he had given her his condolences. She took him by surprise of asking if he had family himself. Of course.... He did have his parents but due to the path that he had chosen, a path that he had regretted. The former corsair believed that they did not want anything to do with him anymore. He asked her if she ever thought about returning to her homeland, to which she had replied that she might when the day comes. He did not get her answer of what she had meant of her words to which she offered him some pipe-weed.

She later introduced herself as Cynlena, giving her his name afterwards. She asked if he was going to stay in Bree, to where he had answered honestly. After his job was done, who knows what would happen to the former corsair. He had bid her farewell not long after, though said that he was hoping that they could talk again and that he could listen to her music again. He was not sure about her but he himself wish that they would in the near future.
