Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to california with an aching in my heart.
"I assume that I've found you in a good mood, Lady Emma?" Kaok couldn't help but laugh a little. It was one thing when one person was in a good mood and their smile became contagious, but it was hard to contain if you were already in a good mood. She wondered if they were feeling good for the same reasons.
Well. Maybe not one of her reasons. She doubted that Emma recently won a medal for service, but one could never be sure.Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.

"So you have, so you have." she replied, smiling ever more broadly. She had not received any sort of commendation, but she had found that she had something she didn't know she possessed.
A voice fit for song.

Zach entered the tavern just as the floorboards had finished shifting back. She headed straight for a booth in the corner and sat down, careful not to bend her wings. Once she was settled she ordered drinks for two.

"And might I ask for what reason?"
Kaok brushed some dirt off of her dress and sat back down, motioning for Emma to join if she'd like.Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.

Emma waved to Zach as she entered, turning back to the Lieutenant soon after.
"I can sing. Nine hundred years of thinking that small animals would die if I tried and I've discovered I can sing."
And without the aid of magic.

Zach returned the greeting then turned her attention to the seat in across from her. She held her right arm out and closed her eyes, concentrating as hard as she could on the markings that represented Ivan.

"Hmm. How did you discover this?"
Kaok was curious, had Emma accidentally sang?Someone told me theres a girl out there

She blushed brilliantly at the memory of the incident.
"I was...coerced into a duet."
Out of the corner of her eye, she was watching Zach work. She could sense Ivan on the corners of her radar.

Limping into the tavern I lean onto a table to try and catch my breath pulling down my face mask so as to breath easier as "hello there" I say limping my way over to a table.

The enchantress turned, arching an eyebrow at the latest arrival.
"Hello..."

"C'mon," Zach muttered and focused as hard as she could. "This can work..."
The markings on her arm condensed to the palm of her hand and then began extending to the bench across from her. The shadowy marks twisted and turned in the air and began to take shape in the form of a seated man. Zach was giving Ivan enough of her life energy to maintain a temporary body. When she finished Zach opened her eyes and sighed.
"Got it," she smiled weakly at the shadow of Ivan. He was still connected to Zach by a thin line of darkness tracing from the palm of Zach's hand to where Ivan's heart would be if he were a human.

Emma watched, excusing herself from the Lieutenant for a moment.
That was powerful magic indeed...
It could have been dark in the wrong hands.
Her hands.
But no...no, that was not her place.

"Heh, not bad, huh," Zach leaned back in her seat, cushioned by her wings. "Go on, then. Have a drink."
Ivan reached tentatively for his drink and found that he could hold it. Had he a face he would have smiled as he began to drink.

Emma winced as if she had been slapped, old memories surfacing. She still watched out of the corner of her eye, the magic used manifesting as a red-gold blaze in her Sight.
Not the time for such a thing, she thought to herself.

Tracer pushed the door open and wandered into the tavern, taking his usual seat at the the stool at the very end of the bar. His old star ship magazine was still where he had left it, untouched.
Tracer chuckled. "None of these primitive monkeys would have understood it anyways." he thought to himself as he lit up a cigarette and ordered a beer.
