As the group found its way to the inn's main dining room, they found a rather pleasant surprise waiting for them. A rare, rare sight indeed... A traveling string, percussion, and harp (replacing piano) ensemble just small enough to fit in the space, but large enough to fill the inn and the surrounding streets with the beautiful sounds of music they produced.

At the moment only the string section was playing, and it was a very soft, slow moving meandering series of melodies for ambiance which made even this sometimes unwelcoming inn seem very homely and comfortable.

Together the group sat down at a table near a window and ordered an evening meal. They made small talk for a time, and Linde continued to look over at the orchestra with a smile which spoke of memories past. Eventually, as they all began to finish their meal together the conversation took a slightly darker turn as it was brought up how dangerous what they were doing was. The mood was beginning to sour with everyone expressing concerns about numerous things from Linde's course as a slave to the fact that what they were doing was going to bring them into contact with a former Te'i Sai member.

Finally, Linde's heart could stand it no longer. The draw of the orchestra. The souring mood among their trio... She stood up and walked to the orchestra, gently tapping the shoulder of the section master (lead violin player) and whispered to him about something. He nodded with a smile from ear to ear and turned to the others in the ensemble giving them instructions as to what they were going to play.

Linde took a position on a small stage platform only about eight inches tall for singers, and clasped her hands in front of her stomach.

The section master stood and turned to the crowd, which was now beginning to grow from people looking through the windows and seeing such an angel on the stage preparing to sing.

"We are pleased to announce the debut performance for this ensemble of a piece we've desired to play but never could due to no requests... Until now. 'Lost in Thoughts, All Alone,' a staple of Cre' Itian culture and a song of hope in the darkness, sung by miss Linde Xe' Almna!" He announced.

Linde smiled with a slight flush in her cheeks as a few patrons clapped while others looked on curiously, having never heard the piece before.

The ensemble prepared themselves, and the string section began to play Lost in Thoughts, All Alone, followed by the harp (replacing the piano) playing an arpeggio to begin the piece proper with Linde beginning to sing one given her cue.

The performance, by the time it was finished, had once again gathered a crowd as Linde seemed to do wherever she went. An angelic beauty from Cre' Est singing a staple of her culture drew a crowd that made the entire inn's dining area a shoulder-to-shoulder standing room only event. Over one hundred people crammed into the room to hear Linde's performance.

And when it came to a conclusion Linde gave a bow to thunderous applause and cheers before giving a gesture to the ensemble which stood behind her and bowed once again in unison with her.

Linde stepped off the platform and walked through the crowd back to her table, sitting down with the others as the room began to slowly clear of those who came to watch the performance.

"... I hope you enjoyed the performance," she said quietly, blushing rather thoroughly as her hands tucked between her legs and her shoulders curled forward, a classic posture of mild embarrassment.

"I've never sung it publicly before, but I thought it would help relieve the tension. We have much to do and a dangerous road ahead, but... I believe we will all be fine as long as we stay together." She said with a smile.
