----Several Months Ago----

An ambush of brigands had been laid in the forest. Ryheric and the mysterious red haired woman had soon found themselves cornered, and while fighting their way out of their predicament, the situation changed from bad to worse.

The goblin snare fell open and swallowed them into the earth. He, the redhead and the half-dozen bandits alike.

The dancing! It was amazing to see his friends dance, to play music for them. Even Bryn seemed to enjoy himself!

He played them a waltz that had been inspired months before when he had watched Tarsorel and Lavendara dance in the forest together.

The trials of the shards were finally over. She had not had to face the Betrayal Shard after all. Ryheric had decided that Silver would face it in her place. She had not been happy about the idea but she had understood his reasoning. The way he had looked at her spoke volumes, he had tried to kill her and he struggled with what that could mean about who he was. He could have killed Aerluinil.

A theme for Tarsorel, the former Soldier of Gondor. Ryheric played this piece on his lute while thinking of Tarsorel the ex soldier of Gondor. Once leading a "normal" life, it was ravaged and torn apart by violence and war, long absences from his family and simple dreams since forgotten. The soldier having nothing left, turned to the bottle for comfort... and while he spent some time in fugue and darkness, has begun to re-emerge to renewed life, new allies and second chances.

He composes a piece for the first time in a while. It comes to him easy and flowing, to capture the mood of her. Yellow, with thick and deep, distinctive blue kept always around her, like a shield. Composure.

Winnie sat there, looking at Tarsorel. He wanted to help her get better with being able to be touched and touch, not related to healing. She had spent a long time outlining the problem and how Ryheric had helped her so far. How Silver and Lavendara were helping her be more comfortable with touch. She thought on this, how strange it would seem to an outsider. Being able to be jostled, patted on the shoulder, playful swats or jumps where touch might occur, even comfort at involves touching. It was all she longed for.
