Summer 37, 515 AV - Mithryn Outpost
Continued from: Music for the Road
As they arrived at Mithryn Outpost, Sayana reined in her horse to a stop. As she looked around, it seemed just as drab and rural as it had been when she last visited. Perhaps little communities like this never changed, nor had any real life to them. Hopefully she’d be able to spark at least a little life in it today. When she asked Ser Kevith if she could take the day off from performing at the Rearing Stallion, he had agreed upon one condition. The old ex-knight wanted Sayana to advertise the tavern and encourage the people of Mithryn Outpost to visit Syliras more often. It seemed like a fair enough request particularly since Kayuqtuq was also a performer at the Rearing Stallion.
The Eypharian looked about but it was hard to find a good place to perform. The streets were narrow and despite it being a small community, it was still too large for everyone to be within earshot. Suddenly she had an idea. “Let’s split up and we’ll be able to cover more ground that way,” she called to Kayuqtuq. With hardly a glance back, Sayana spurred her horse into a trot down the narrow streets to find a good place to set up.
The marketplace was busier than most of the streets so she carved out a little section for herself and dismounted. She quickly tended to her horse, mostly just tying it up since there wasn’t a good place for water or space to graze. It would have to do for now. The Eypharian then got out her finger cymbals and placed them on her high hands. Ching-a-ling-a-ling. She chimed the little cymbal several times in attempt to get people’s attention.
However, as soon as a few people began to turn, she realized she had merely worn basic beige pants and a red top. Hardly the thing to be dancing in. Perhaps she’d have to get more creative this time. The Eypharian started with a basic rhythm on the finger cymbals, one that she could consistently keep going, and started bounce gently to the beat. There was an earthier feel to this one and as she tapped her feet and twisted her shoulders, she slowly moved in a circle.
As people gathered to watch she decided to try something fancier. Sayana did a quick spin on the spot and then immediately launched herself into a cartwheel. It was harder to do with her mid hands and certainly didn’t come off as straight but she managed to impress a couple of people by playing her finger cymbals in the middle of the move using her high hands.
