"Jezus," the tiny fae murmured, ears flattening. What was that sound? A C? It was terribly off. The child, musically inclined due to her the favorite passtime of her father's former crew, had not heard an out of tune instrument in a while. Or any intstrument, in a while. Her heart ached at the sound and memory.
Flowing notes across the deck of a ship. Lilted voices singing humorously. The gentle waves rocking in tempo. In their off-time, the crew often spun tales in Gaelic and English, and while they worked, soft, rhythmic tones. Keona used to hum along as she waddled across the deck.
The most adored times had always been when her father sang at night. His first mate had loved piano; beautiful notes following her father's soft lullabies, lulling her to sleep. He still sang, but it was different now. This place was not the same. it never would be, really.
Awfully morose, the kitten followed the sound. "... It's off-key," she murmured. "Playin' it won't fix it," she pointed out thoughtfully, wondering if maybe she could help it produce a true note, "you should check inside."
