The sun shone down over the festival fields, the buzz of cicadas filling Auri's ears as she lounged on the high branch of an oak while the sun burned down on her fur. Her un-seeing, blurred, vision eyeing the beautiful green grass she would never see with her moon-like eyes as she strummed lightly on the lute in her delicate paws.
She loved the Fields now that she had learned how to control her mind reading, and breathed in the strong scent of grass, dirt and the market stalls only a few bounds away. But she continued to play the lute, only stopping when her ears flicked up at the sound of someone approaching...

Ah the Festival Fields. It may have been a bit of a walk, but it was always a pleasure coming here. A nice wide open area, plenty of space, and a very nice place to take a break. Even if Azael was still working, it was sometimes nice to come here alone. The tree by the water usually produced some nice shade and the water always brought a relaxing feel with it. It was really one of the only places she felt comfortable singing out loud. Why should she sing out in public when she was supposed to be a dancer? As far as she knew anyways there were not any professional singers out there. She could be the first... but then again she would rather keep that sort of thing to herself.
The she cat had left her ribbons at home seeing as she was not dancing, though she did bring her dagger and her coin purse. If there was anything that she learned from her childhood, it was not to leave anything anyone would steal just laying around, and always have something to protect yourself with. Mind you she didn't really know how to use her dagger very well, but it was better than having nothing at all. As she came closer, she began to hear something coming from the trees. It sounded sort of like a lute, but she was still a distance away and wasn't able to hear it fully. Either way, she began to hum a little tune to herself with the flowing melody from the musical instrument. Whoever owned that instrument sure did know how to play it rather well. She stopped as she heard the music stop. She was closer to the tree now and was sure whoever was playing noticed her coming. Her green gaze turned to the branches as she tried to pick out who was hiding up there. Her humming had stopped, but a small chuckle came out. "Why did you stop? I thought your music was lovely."

Auri stiffened, her silver, moon-like eyes narrowing in thought as she slung her lute over her shoulder and leaned on her branch. "A slaver, or a friend?" Auri thought quietly as she tilted her head owlishly to eye the pale, feminine cat that wandered below her hiding place. "I didn't know if you where a slaver." Auri giggled airily as she pulled her lute back into her paws, humored that she had thought such a lovely cat would be one.
"But now I don't think you are." Auri giggled, a light smile gracing her face as mirth filled her covered eyes, and she began quickly plucking a few strings on her lute. "No, I think you're a..." Auri trailed off in thought. Trying to think of something nice to say.

Iseret paused for a moment as she listened to the voice of the one talking to her. It sounded like a female for sure, but a rather young one. Impressive that one of her age was able to play the lute so well. She tilted her head a bit to the term that she had used when addressing her. What was a slaver? Perhaps a cat that went looking out for slaves? How awful. She never really liked the idea of slaves, though if she were ever to have one, he/she would be treated with kindness. She shook her head of the thought as she tried scanning the tree again. She wasn't exactly under it, but she could hear the cords that the she cat was playing. Using the sound, she tried to trace it to the source. She soon found herself right under the tree and looking straight up. Surely it wouldn't be too hard to find her.
As the she cat was looking, she moved to the water, carefully sticking her paws it. The water felt really nice, especially after the walk that she took to get here. She soon heard the she cat speak again and laid her back down on the grass. "Think I am what?" She was rather curious as to what this she cat thought she was.

Auri blinked her moon-like eyes from under the shade of the oak as she thought and strummed absentmindedly at her lute before speaking again. "I'm not sure yet." Auri smiled, "I have no pretty words, nor do I know you." She mused, slinging the lute onto her back as she slid down the tree to the mossy ground.
"Maybe you're a princess, a beautiful witch or a merchant's daughter." Auri grinned, her tail flicking as she pulled out the lute again. "I will just have to find out, so I can create pretty music." Auri smiled under her frock of hair, before going back to paying attention to her lute.

Iseret had to admit that the she cat had a bit of a point. She didn't know her, but the first part of her words didn't seem all too promising. Her ears twitched as she heard rustling from the tree. Her eyes gazed up as she noticed a younger she cat climbing out of it. Was this the one that she was talking to? She sat up for a moment so that she could get a better look. This she cat was rather skinny for one of her age, even with the long fur. Was she not getting enough to eat on a daily basis? She also seemed to have rather long hair. How was she supposed to see through it? She was not really one to ask. It might be rude. She soon laid back down on her back, smiling as she felt the sun's warmth.
Her attention moved back to the she cat as she heard her speaking again. Seemed she was trying to guess at what she was based on her pelt. It's a shame that she got it right on the last guess. Her father was a merchant, but that was so long ago before he was killed. She never really liked being reminded of the past. It was the scariest night of her entire life. A small frown came to her face as she remembered that horrible event. By the time she had come back to herself and looked over to the she cat, she was busy with her lute. She looked away and sighed. "I'm none of those. I'm just a dancer."

"Ah, a trouper-friend then?" Auri replied questioningly, a small smile curling on her face as she played the lute-strings absent-mindedly. Only to stopping to speak as she faultered on the lute. "That is a pretty job also."

Iseret gave a glance over to the she cat as she spoke again. She gave a small nod in her response before turing her eyes up to the sky. "Something like that yeah. I sometimes have to provide my own music, not that I am complaining though." She had to admit that relaxing to the sound of the she cat's lute was very nice. It wasn't something she got everytime she came out here, so why not enjoy it. She flicked her tail as the tip sank into the water. "What's your name?" She couldn't believe that she hadn't asked that up until now.

Auri smiled gently as her paw-tips stopped their pattering like rain on the lute-strings so she could speak. "I have lots of names." Auri stated as a slight grin grew at the corners of her mouth, "Some call me Willow, some a Moth, But most call me Auri." She smiled, her delicate paws going back to pattering like moth's wings across the lute-strings.

Iseret found it interesting that the darker she cat had more than one name. Perhaps the others were like stage names for when she was playing out in public. Maybe she should have one, but what was so wrong with using her own name? She looked over to the lute as Auri as she introduced herself, pointed over to it. She could see how she got the name Moth, but wondered why she had the name Willow. She smiled as she spoke. "Auri huh? That's a nice name."

"Thankyou Miss." Auri smiled sweetly from under he hood of fur as she continued to play along the lute strings in an unknown melody. That sounded quiet similar to a sweet bird-song that sometimes played across the Rithengar Forest in the early morning, Auri continued completely absorbed in her music.

Iseret went back to relaxing as she listened to the sound of the lute as it played in tune with the world around them. It was such a nice melody that she couldn't help but begin to hum along with tune. She closed her eyes as she rested against her back, turning her face the sky. The sun soaked into her fur as it swayed in the wind. Today was just perfect.
