Adira Hasidare
Adira looked down at her flute, which Fell had placed in her hand. 'What...?' she was confused by his actions. Now hardly seemed time for playing a song, but as she looked into his eyes she could see that there was more behind his actions than for them to be a part of some silly little game. Adira sighed softly and rubbed Fell's head who crooned softly in response, drawing a small smile from her. 'He must be afraid,' she thought, 'Undoubtedly this entire ordeal has been more stressful for him than for I. Perhaps a song would help calm his nerves, and maybe my own to a degree.'
"Alright bud, alright," she said as he nudged her arm again and looked at her expectantly, "But just a short, soft tune, okay? If something happens in the next few minutes then I don't want to be caught off guard all because I had to play you a lullaby." Adira's voice was quiet and had a playful tone, but underlying her voice there was genuine worry. She was very worried that she'd be caught off guard should something happen - however as Fell crooned softly she felt herself relax slightly. As long as Fell was beside her things would turn out okay.
Adira patted his head again before leaning back against the arena wall and putting the flute to her lips.
The song she played was... breathtaking. Though she was playing softly, as she only intended for the song to be heard by herself and Fell (and Khojin, though this was only because she was standing right next to them), the mild breeze of the desert that filled the arena seemed to have a different idea and it easily carried the clear notes of her song to the others in the arena. Though the song was so very faint that if one was talking too loudly they many drown it out with their voice, the tune itself was stirring - a song of being lost and of holding onto a swiftly fleeting hope of find one's way, but a song of hope nonetheless.
Indeed it was calming, and not just to the listeners but the the player as well. With every soft note Adira felt herself unwinding, all that panic and confusion ebbing away for the time being. She was so focused on her song that she didn't noticed herself slowly slide down the wall into a sitting position, nor did she notice as Fell laid down beside her with his tail draped lazily over her legs. When she finally finished the song and the last note faded away she sighed contently.
"Much into music?" Khojin asked, having come out of her daze, but Adira merely chuckled quietly. All her anger and stress seemed to have replaced with a feeling of serenity and she remained in that sitting position for a few moment before cracking a smile. Reaching over his tail, Adira patted Fell's hindquarters and he looked back at her with a smug toothy grin. "Yeah yeah, I see what you do there." she said, rolling her eyes at him (though her smile grew wider), "Thanks." Fell chuffed in response and Adira lightly smacked his hindquarters, only making him laugh a little harder.
"C'mon. Maybe it's time we play nice and actually try to make some friends, rather than just some allies." she said and put the flute back into it's pouch. Fell stood, helping Adira up with his tail as if he couldn't agree more. Let it never be said that Fanghur weren't intelligent creatures.
