What is a bard, to you in your world?

This is something that's worried me for a little while now. I've been thinking about it in my own world and circumstances, and... I still don't have an answer. Which worries me.

I want other's thoughts, that I might better understand what I think I am.

[Action, Around the town]

*At various bars, streets, and other areas, Pidonus can be found, lute in hand, playing a melody a few may have heard from the distance.

Someone here must have taught her this piece, at some point, for it's in English. And even the locals are stopping frequently to it's not-quite-rhythmic melodies and lyrics speaking of a world more like her own than where she was now.

More unusually, even for those who have heard Pidonus play before, this time, she is actively singing.

Perhaps you would care to join her?*

*After finishing off another melancholy piece, Pidonus smiled to the small audience she'd gathered, then tossed her lute onto her back, and walked over towards Rita.*

Hey.

[blahblahblah]

Hey yourself. That was... good, but a little dark. You all right?

[No sense hiding her concern. If Pid wanted it, she could just fish it out, so Rita figured she may as well cut out the middleman.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

I've just... Been questioning myself somewhat as late. Who I am supposed to be, who I am, all that.

[blahblahblah]

Ah. That kind of thing.

Well, first and foremost, if there's anything I can do to help other than being a sounding board and a therapist, I'm there. For the rest... I can try. Feelings were never my strong suit, desire to burn something notwithstanding, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Thanks, Rita. Really.

I think I just... Need to discover myself more. You know?

That's not easy out here...

[blahblahblah]

Yeah. I know exactly what you mean.

...A little while before I came here, I was in pretty much the same place you are now. It wasn't fun, but I got through it. It's just going to take a lot of searching, and a lot of figuring out what you really want from yourself and your life.

Which is kinda what you already said, but... I guess I'm agreeing with you...?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Yeah. I just... I guess it's normal enough, even for one who should be as set in their ways as me.

Fish out of water, perhaps.
