Strange Faces [Open]

[Sahsvin Isilla]

Isilla listened to their heated conversation. Knowing that she understood none of it, she stood up. "It's been nice talking to you two, but I feel very sleepy now. she said, and faked a yawn, badly. "Good night, you two and have a lovely evening, I hope I will be able to see you again!" she finished. And with that, she strode out of the Rearing Stallion, just like the Konti before her. "This really isn't a place for a woman.. she thought and continued onto her path.

[Iasc]

Iasc didn't take his eyes off the piece of pottery as Guido showed it to him. It was small, yet strangely mesmerizing. He seemed to know a great deal about pottery and the making of it. He spoke enthusiastically and liked to share his knowledge. As with Iasc, he appeared to like explaining his loves in life to other people. Iasc was enjoying his crash course in pottery. There was nothing better than knowledge in his opinion.

He was still looking at the piece of pottery as Guido placed it on the table and, after a few moments, he turned his attention back to the youth. He gave a very interesting and amusing explanation of story-telling. Iasc couldn't help but laugh after he had finished. “You must you need quite an imagination and good bit of charisma to keep an audience's attention. I may drop by sometime to listen to a tale or two.”

“So, tell me – do you earn a few coins from your mandolin playing as I do from my stories? And, do you compose your own songs?”

“Actually my main job is as a musician. I work in the other tavern here in Syliras. I got the job four days ago. I'm also thinking of possibly busking to bring in a bit more money as the job doesn't pay too great. As for my own songs.” He gave a nervous smile. “I have composed a few pieces but I've never played them to anyone. I will soon though as I can't really play everyone else's music the rest of my life.”

Suddenly, Isilla started to talk, startling Iasc. She complained she was tired, gave an obviously fake yawn and left the establishment.
When she had left, Iasc once again turned back to Guido. “What a strange woman”, he remarked, smiling.

OOCThe tavern I mentioned isn't created yet but is on Dusk's to-do list. Just in case you thought I was making up a new tavern

[Guido Faragas]

“Well, if you want to try out any of your songs on someone before performing them in the tavern, just let me know. I’ll willing listen to a fellow-entertainer1” Guido laughed, downing the remainder of his ale.”I have always thought that composing music must be very satisfying and I envy those that can. Storytelling is an art but there is something mystical about the ability to create new music. You are lucky to have that talent. And, you are welcome to listen to my tales – I hold court here on a regular basis. ”

He glanced at the back of Isilla as she left the tavern. “Very strange, indeed. I wonder what she really wanted? There was something about her...” Guido shrugged and sighed.

“Unless you would like another drink, I think it might be time to retire. I must admit I am feeling a little drowsy.” He raised a questioning eyebrow at Iasc

OOCI guess we can wind this up now unless there is more you want to do?

[Iasc]

"I don't think I'd let you suffer by making you listen to my songs one-on-one", Iasc laughed. "But there's nothing mystical about song writing. You just need to know what notes go well with each other to create certain moods and then add a few words to help it along."

“I must admit that I'm feeling tired as well. Anyway, we need to be up early for archery tomorrow.” Iasc got up and extended his hand towards Guido. “It was very nice talking with you.” He then picked up his book and walked off towards his room, in anticipation of what the next day would bring.

[Guido Faragas]

Guido laughed loudly at Iasc’s amusing comment concerning his composing ability and then shook his outstretched hand. “It has been a pleasure to meet you and I look forward to our archery contest tomorrow.” He rose from his seat and stretched his hands and arms widely above his head as Iasc took the book and left for his room. With a nod to the nearby barmaid, Guido slowly dragged his long limbs out of the tavern heading directly for his home and bed.

Additional CommentsSorry I couldn't offer more points. There was more talking than anything. It was a nice thread though. Keep up the good writing.
