(OOC: If you don't mind, seeing as this is taking place in the Middle ages, can I control all NPCs? I can imitate Middle English pretty well, but not to the full extent, so that others can understand them)
Name: Akishra
Conscience species: Horse (Shehrasin)
Conscience appearance: Bay mare, average size for an Arabian horse
Your appearance: Dirty-blonde hair, going to just under her shoulder blades. Blue eyes. Thin leather for her clothes - vest and pants. Mocassins. A black cloak (hood attatched, though usually down) obscures her clothing and footwear.
What do you do for a living(Jobs in the castle): Fool (court jester)
Extra: Akishra has pretty strong telekenesis, but it tires her to use. Shehrasin was her horse as a child, and revealed herself to her long ago, but they kept it secret. Her telekenesis is the main reason she was chosen as court jester; the fact she can sing and make any instrument sound melodic is the rest. She doesn't trust men much.
Akishra was in the stables, brushing off Shehrasin. 'Keep going there,' Shehrasin said. 'There's something there that's bothering me.'
'Alright,' Akishra said, running the brush over that area. At about that time, a milk maid came. 'His noble lord requesteth thy presaunce,' said the maid. 'Quoth he that he wants a melodeye, and knowing of thee, ever ready, he bade me cometh get you.'
'And I thank thee for't; be mine services ever ready for mine noble king,' replied Akishra. Damn, she hated Middle English. She just hoped she could get back to her time soon. 'Wilst though take Shehrasin? An annoyaunce has she, and fear be mine, that she wilst not ride the morrow for't.'
'Nay fear, mine lady,' responded the maid. 'Thou hast helpest me in mine time, and now shalt I returneth thy favour to thee!'
Akishra handed the brush to the maid and walked inside the king's chamber. Some ribbons were laid out on the table, but, when she began to lift them from a distance, the king put up his hand.
'Save't for a time; a melodeye now is for what I wish,' he said. 'I eek want the ribbons, but nay now.' (OOC: eek = also)
Akishra bowed her head slightly in aquiecence, and picked up a lute she saw near the ribbons. Sitting on a stool and crossing a leg over one knee to hold it better, she began to pluck the strings slowly, singing softly under her breath.
