I of The Storm / Music

[michael t.]

YOU NEVER GAVE UP ON ME; WHY DON'T YOU?
I'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU SEE; WHY WON'T YOU?

Music had never really been a major driving force in Michael's life, at least not in the way that it was in Keona's. However, that didn't mean that the dealer disliked music. Quite the opposite, actually. He loved sitting in his hut and listening to his favorite songs, especially when Trevor was there with him, the coyote laughing softly whenever Michael would raise his voice up to sing along. Some of the bobcat's most pleasant memories were set to a tune, and it was certainly a pleasant surprise to come across someone singing within the tavern.

Although the thief's visits to the tavern had become much less common as of late, Michael still enjoyed visiting for the occasional gambling game, or even just one or two drinks. This time when he stepped inside, however, he was greeted by the sight of Eltrous, playing a small string instrument while others listened on. Feeling a small smile come to his muzzle, the dealer made his way over to sit nearby, nodding his head in Keona's direction. Waiting until it seemed as though Eltrous paused in his playing, Michael spoke with a mischievous little smirk, "Hey there, new guy. You trying to audition to become the tavern's bard?" He certainly seemed like would fit the part.
