"...And they're drinkable?"

"I mean. That definitely depends on your definition of 'drinkable'. I'm just peachy, or close to. You would be less peachy. And dead."

Permalink

"Okay then. Fire-witch thing?"

Permalink

"Oh, probably."

Permalink

"...'kay."

Sezan resumes humming to herself! Leo relocates to her head again.

Permalink

This obliges Jann to stop petting him. He steers Morganite, head tilting back and forth to the rhythm of the humming.

Permalink

Oh, that's cute. She likes this one.

Permalink

Jann, sitting in front, has few affordances to read her facial expression!

Permalink
Likely for the best, considering the tenor of her appreciative face!

"D'you like music?" she asks after reaching a natural stop in the humming. "Generally, I mean."
Permalink

"Don't play an instrument or sing really, but I like listening!"

Permalink

"Ah. I've got a fiddle up my sleeve, if you'd like, and a couple of ballads I can play?"

Permalink

"That'd be lovely, assuming being on horseback doesn't get in the way."

Permalink
"I do like a challenge."

She hauls herself around to sit sidesaddle and compensates well enough for the movement of the horse to play a decent ballad or two, singing with herself. (That much has always been a talent.)

Leo retreats into the sleevespace vacated by the instrument, hissing.

Jann continues his appreciative head-tilting.

Permalink

Sezan continues to appreciate this!

Permalink

Then they can pass several appreciative hours until Morganite is very tired and Jann picks a place to camp for the night.

Permalink
Well, Sezan will probably put the fiddle away after a while to give Leo a break. But he doesn't mind her singing, so that she can do.

She encamps happily. "I'd forgotten how tiring horses are. How can it be so much work to sit down?"

"Correcting your balance all the time," explains Jann cheerfully. "Still less work than walking, though most days I do that half the time to give her a break. She's got my armor and food and whatnot on there." He peers at the sky, judges it sufficiently cloudless to not warrant the tent, and starts assembling kindling. "Do you want to do the honors?" he says of the resulting proto-campfire-like heap.

Permalink
"Yes, I most certainly do."

She looks at the firewood and hums a tone, which leads to a small burst of flame that catches on to the tinder. Then she grabs a bit of the fire and fiddles artfully with it, shivering happily.
Permalink

Jann doesn't remark on her choice of toy. He sets up his bedroll and then collects some water from a nearby stream (an important feature in a camp) and starts heating up some food for supper.

Permalink
Once she's contented herself with her fire for the moment, she lets it dissipate and helps with setup.

"I wanted to do a bit of that to pass the time on the ride, but people get so touchy about a bit of fire. Plus, it might've scared your horse. So instead I fiddled while nothing burned."
Permalink

"Yeah, Morganite appreciates your restraint. I figure you have it under control but she's not so understanding."
