stars did fall
upon hearing their crewmates the coyote leaned back onto their paws and watched them approach, a large smile on their maw.
"hello everyone!" they greeted warmly, patting down on the soft silks they laid on. "come join me! they're the softest silks you'll ever touch. sourced straight out of turkey." they promise, their paw moving to wave the smoke of a lavender incense over in their direction.
to answer etherealgate first, they spoke, "it is called a gramophone. it is an old music player that is powered manually. you see the lever on the side? you crank it a few times and the needle will begin to read the lines of music on the vinyl, and then the sound comes out of that bright golden tube." they proceeded to stand and move toward it, beckoning her to come closer. "try it for yourself! just be gentle, it is very old. mother told me that her grandmother was the first to own it and pass it down."
at wormwoods comment, they puffed out their chest and couldn't help but grin in pride. "thank you! all of my music comes from the vinyls my father left me and the few that nanny had purchased for me growing up. I was only allowed to listen to it growing up, but personally i can't seem to find any music better than this." they had certainly tried listening to sea-shanty's and those fast-speaking battles. open mic nights at the capricorn tavern were rather lively with those, but idyll much preferred these moments.
then to address tanteri, they nodded quickly. "yes! music. isn't it beautiful? i am sure there wasn't much except for the wildlife back in your... your time." they paused, wondering briefly if that was worded correctly. "you are more than welcome to lay upon the silks, tanteri. they're very soft and feel wonderful."
