[ And heeeere's Leliana, back from her super secret hiatus mission. She looks a little worse for wear -- a few scratches here, a few scars there -- but she is delighted and cleaned up. (She wouldn't even dream of showing her face in the network without make-up.) ]

I'm back from my super, secret mission. Oh, and it was delightful! Action! Drama! Suspense!

[ She giggles, and it ends with a contented sigh. ]

Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't tell any of you. To be fair, I thought it was only going to take a few days but... not a month.

I have missed a lot of stuff, yes? Could someone care to fill me in? Nothing too exciting was happening while I was gone, I hope.

[:o

he can't really even imagine it, so it just sounds like SHINY.]

People...I mean, you sang for people? Everywhere?

[songofvalor]

I did! There is something so... remarkably fulfilling about standing in the middle of the crowd and playing them one of your favorite songs.

Do you like music?

[theguideless]

Oh, I– [blinkblink. uhh...] I...guess so? I haven't heard much, so...

[songofvalor]

[ He's shy. That is so cute! Leliana smiles fondly. ]

I could sing for you, if you like.

[theguideless]

[he looks surprised, or a little worried. he's not really sure how big of a deal it is or not.]

I... [asfdsf.] I think I'd...like to hear, if. If that's something you'd want to do. I mean... [he smiles a scared smile, feeling awful self-aware of the fumbling.]

[songofvalor]

Relax, you silly boy! I offered.

[ She rests her communication device on a table and sits on a chair. She pulls out a lute from under her bed. She begins playing this song. ]

[big. kitten. eyes. for once, the hair prickling on the back of his neck isn't out of something terrible, go figure.

and by the time it's done, he's shifted, curled up and leaned forward toward the screen, knees up to his chin. he mouths a "wow," but doesn't dare say anything.

a). because wow and b). it'd be rude to interrupt...if...there was more.]

[songofvalor]

[ When Leliana finishes her last note, she lets her fingers linger on the lute's strings before tucking it safely under her bed again. She takes in the expression on his face and laughs. Oh, how she missed this. ]

You liked it, I take it?

[theguideless]

[beat.

blink.] Oh, uh– [he straightens a little, swiping at his bangs. embarrassed:] I, yes...I did. I've never heard anything like that before... [sobering:] Thank you...

[songofvalor]

You're welcome! You know, I chose my voice as my weapon and had I finished that last note an octave higher, you would've been dead by now.

[ She laughs, because that sort of thing is funny to her. ]

[theguideless]

Oh...

[hook, line, sinker.

this face (only, y'know...blonder).]

[songofvalor]

[ Cryptic giggling. ]

[ The feed turns off. ]
