[It was saddening..... To see more and more of her adoptive family to leave by either joining another crew or being sent home. Vyse..... Natsuno..... Now Chandra and Bolin are gone as well. It is slowly becoming more and more empty and she hated it.

She was standing on the deck of The Sun, allowing the wind to play with her hair as she just stares out into the vast ocean. She finally lets out a sigh and with the journal next to her, she goes to take a deep breath and sings. Singing for those who have gone home.... For those that have joined another crew. Pouring all of her well wishes for them into the song, praying that for those who are still here in this strange world, will understand her song for them.]

[Namur had been hauling in some nets for Zeff when Leanne's clear voice rang out over the waves, giving him pause. He hurried to finish, then stood listening, one hand clinging to the shrouds, the other holding the loose ends of the net over his shoulder.]

Don't understand half a what yer sayin' when yer singin'. But it makes me sad an' happy all at once. Doin' some kinda magic or somethin'?

[Green eyes blink when first Namur's scent approaches her but then his words. She goes to reopen her eyes and looks towards him.]

No, Nam-Nam.... That song wasn't a galdrar.... [A soft sigh.] It is just a song for those who have left us and those who have gone home.

[A soft chuckle as she goes to fully face him.] I am.... Not so good with words and it is easier to say things in song than words.

Huh.

So... yer sad 'bout Bolin an' Chandra an' all them other shits?

A little.... I just hope and pray that my song does reach them somehow.

[A brief pause.]

Silly isn't it?

Naw.

[Namur lets go of the shroud, and takes the net full of dying fish into the galley so there's a little bit of separation between her and the death. He returns to the deck, wiping his hands on his pants.]

Think it's nice a y' t' try an' keep 'em close.

[He furrows his brow a little.]

So what is it keeps y' here, Leanne? Others've left cuz they can't handle what we do, but yer the one gets physically hurt by it all, an' y' stay anyway. How come?

(She was grateful for the gesture of seperating her and the death. It was really thoughtful of him.)

It brings joy to my heart to hear that you think that.

(She blinks at his question.... It was a good one for all reasons she should have left a long time ago. She ponders it for only just a brief moment before just smiling a little.)

I made that vow, didn't I? When I drank that cup with Ace. That vow is my bond and also.... how many times have all of you saved me? But those are not the only reason....

All of you have become a second family to me and you don't leave family....

(A small frown.)

And also I don't want to leave or lose another family.

[Namur snorts and nods, winking.]

Couldn't a picked a better'n, sweetheart.

So what kind a shit y' think y' wanna do with us all. Sometimes we can ask people on the islands an' they know differnt places we can go, catch me?

For an adoptive family.... No, I don't think that I could.

[And here, she can't help but to let out a few happy chirps.]

You know that I am already being selfish enough with making you guys go to Serenes that I can't possibly request anything else, Nam Nam.

[And now she goes to blush a little.]

Besides.... Most of it would be embarrassing for beorcs and hose not of my clan.

[Naesala loves it when Leanne sings. And with everything that's been happening lately, hearing her melody - galdrar or not - was like a breath of fresh air. Even if there was a tinge of sadness in her voice.

Only after she's finished, he lands from his perch, coming closer with footsteps loud enough to alert her to his presence, then leans against the closest deck railing. And pauses, studying her face.] Have something on your mind?

[The sound of his footsteps was a very welcome sound. Leanne goes to let out another sigh and closes her eyes. There is no need to keep walls with him. She cannot do that with him.]

Just missing people.... [An arm to give herself an half-hug.]

[He sees that and opts to come closer.]

The recent departure of certain crew members? [It's an assumption. But he knows her; she's always been good with friendship and camradarie. Naesala had noticed the missing crew too-- It just wasn't a big deal for him.] Isn't it better that they were allowed to go back to their homes?

[She does move closer to him as well, moving just to lean against him.]

Not just the recent but.... Over the time I have been here. [In her mind, that is a part of life... Friendships, camaraderie and adopting others into the flock.]

It is better but it would have been better to at least say goodbye to them.... Also not all of them went home. [They run off to join other crews.]

The journals are still a viable communication option for them, you know. [It's gotten better since then, but Naesala didn't even want to join this crew in the first place. He can understand their sentiment.

But he moves to put his arm around her a little. He's not here to make her melancholy worse.] The others... A song is a nice send-off in place of a proper goodbye, I suppose.

I do know but I fear that.... That they do not wish to speak with one as myself because of the crew I am a part of.

[And yay! His arm around her helps a little. And come now, Naesala, it really isn't a secret how much you dislike the Spades at first.]

I am glad that you think so.

Jumping ship is their problem, not yours. If they seriously refuse to associate with you, they're not even remotely worth it.

[But if anyone goes so far as to actually upset Leanne, well then. Just point Naesala in the right direction.]

[shrug] And if they don't refuse, keep in touch. It's as simple as that.

Is it really that easy?

[okay, she is just gonna cuddle more against him finally letting out a small sigh of relief.]

Sorry Naesala for being like this.... [She is the one that is suppose to cheer the other up! That's her role.]

[ouch] Not always.

[But he just gets comfortable, standing where they are. He flicks her playfully on the wing once before smiling down at her.] What, like you're not allowed to be down every once in a while? Come now, there's no need to apologize.

[A long sigh escapes from her as she cuddles in more. He is here and he is not going anywhere.

But then! The wing flick and she goes to pout up at him. Two can play that game! Have at you, a wing flick from her as well!]

If only because the crew needs me to never be down. Who else is gonna keep their spirits up? But yours especially.

[He scoffs, but gives her a squeeze around the shoulders. It's weird, their roles being reversed like this.]

No one can stay in high spirits all hours of every single day. And that includes you. You're allowed to have the same moods as the rest of us.

Besides, that lets us turn around and pick your spirits up. You wouldn't rob us of that opportunity, would you?

[She lets out another sigh at this strange role reversal.]

I guess so but.... [It is odd and weird and she isn't sure what to think of it.]

No, I wouldn't rob you and the rest of the opportunity to play my role. But especially you, Naesala. The others must not know of my being like this.

My beak is sealed. [He makes a zipper motion across his mouth. Good with secrets, and all that.]

But if this gets to be too much, Leanne, promise me you won't keep it bottled up all the time. To me, or the crew. They're a nosy bunch, but their support is guaranteed. You can't help them if they can't help you.

[She couldn't help but to giggle at his motion.] Thank you Naesala.

..... [Has her being like this really affected him this much?]

I am sorry to have worry you like this but I will at least make the promise to you. The others already have much burdens on their shoulders to have mine added unto theirs as well.

[Naesala is strong enough and already knows most of her burdens, he would be the best one to go to.... She blink gives him a playful grin.]
And are my ears hearing correctly? I think you actually said something nice about another person~

[Everything bad that happens to Leanne affects him.]

[He gives her hair a gentle ruffle.] You're never a burden, Leanne. I can promise you that.

[Oh... o-oh OH no no shhhhh shh Leanne no that never happened]

Who me? [clears throat] Well, I'm no heron. I have to hold back on compliments, you know. The world couldn't handle all of my blessings at once.

[She closes her eyes at the hair ruffle before slowly reopening them.]

I highly doubt that. [Even she knows that she has been a huge problem with getting into trouble a lot.]

Yes you~ [A more impish grin now.] Are your blessing so great and vast then~? [Tease tease.] I am thinking that someone is finally warming up to our crewwwww~

Oh? Have I been lying to you? [said jokingly. Even with everything that's happened in Tellius, he would never see her as a burden.]

[half-turning away, pretending to be aloof] We've simply been roosting among them for far too long. One measly compliment per year, dug from the depths of my pockets, should do it.

You have a very pretty voice.

[Hi Leanne, at least one person was listening to you through the journal.]

Edited 2014-10-23 20:31 (UTC)

I thank you for your kind words, my lord.

[Well hello there new voice.]

My lo--nah, Guy is fine.

You should sing more often, it's a nice change of pace from what you normally hear from the journal.

My lord Guy then?

[She couldn't help but to smile at his words.]

I thank you even more for your kind words. I am not sure though if others will share your same thoughts.

[Hrnnn probably she should sing a more upbeat song and he says that he likes her singing so.... Here Guy, just for you another song.]

[Aw yeah, he gets a bonus song. c:

He'll listen to said song before he responds.]

Well...if you're going to keep the 'my lord' part, go with 'Gardios' instead. Otherwise, just 'Guy'.

And maybe they don't agree, but I don't think anyone's taken offense yet.

I see.... I mean no offence.

[Okay, she is a bit confused as what to call him now.]

I shall pray that none will take offense then. I admit it is odd to hear someone not of my crew t ask me to sing.

None taken, honestly.

[She can call him whatever she wants, he'll just stop objecting after a while.]

Oh...really?

That makes my heart glad to hear.

[Give her time then to pick out the right name for him.]

Yes, really. Usually it's just my crew and captain who requests songs from me.

[But then she realizes something.]

Please forgive me as it seems like I have forgotten to introduce myself.... I am known as Leanne of the heron clan.

Better late than never. Leanne's a nice name.

[He's just going to assume 'heron' might be an actual clan name and not risk offending her by asking if she's actually a bird.]

I thank you for your kind words. But my name is not nearly as strong sounding as yours.

[No.... No offence will be taken as she is a bird, Guy.]

[Ace didn't like it when Leanne sang with that sad a tone, but he listened, anyway. He almost seemed to be dozing off, but not as of yet.]

[It was his scent that mainly alerted her to his presence first. She goes to look towards him, quirking a brow at him before moving towards.]

You are going to get a cold like this Ace....

You keep sayin' it, but I never get colds. [Ace fed Leanne a look from one eye, casting a weak shrug.]

Because you are made of fire? It still might be possible, you know.

[She goes to chuckle a little, crouching down so that she wasn't completely standing over him.]

Of course. [Ace stretched his arms out, yawning loudly into the open air.]

I'm always at a high temperature. It's why the commanders don't mind nappin' with me.
