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.
The Faun seemed to be the only one of them that wasn't familiar with the song, but it was nice nonetheless.
"I find myself quite jealous at this display of talent - am I the only one of us who cannot sing to save her life?"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.

The Imperator finished his song and handed the mic over to Emma.
"What are you talking about, Kaok? I sounded like a sick alley cat howling at the moon!"" Remus said and took a seat next to her.

"You're too hard on yourself." Lt. Jayim laughed, scooting closer to Remus as she awaited Emma's turn.
She had never been able to hate music - this being one of the only Faun-like things she could condone. At all of those drunken parties for Pan as a child, the only thing she would do was sit in the corner and sing along to the songs. She knew them all by heart as a kid. Did she still know them? She wasn't 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.

"I'm afraid I do as well." Emma added, taking the mic and clicking her fingers to start the music. In the traditional British fashion, Emma had severely downplayed her talents. She didn't believe that she had the slightest bit of vocal ability, but in reality had a relatively pleasant voice. " Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?
How can you jubilate
Sitting in cages,
Never taking wing?"

((Argh...I have to go soon.))
The Imperator sat back and enjoyed Emma's song. She did have a bit of a nice voice in her.
Remus placed a hand on Kaok's and checked his watch. He would have to leave shortly, though he wished he didn't have to.

Wonderful.
As Kaok applauded Emma, she glanced at Remus. He seemed to be checking his watch. Of course.Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

She finished, laying down the microphone and taking her seat once more. "I hope your ears didn't bleed..."

Remus clapped as well when Emma finished her song. Unfortunately, it was time for him to leave. He gave Kaok a quick kiss and a gentle embrace so as not to reopen her wounds.
He gave Emma a hug as well, before grabbing his cover and sunglasses. He tipped his hat a final time before disappearing out the door.

"Oh don't be like that, Emma. You were magnificent."
Kaok sighed after Remus left, looking at the now empty stage. She was sorely tempted...
Don't do it, Jayim.Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

"I've been taking lessons..." she mumbled, watching the Lieutenant's face.
"Give it a try. You know you want to."

"Well, you're far better than this woman."
She sat still for a moment, and then carefully got up and hobbled over to the stage.
"Oh, alright."
Was this pushing it, too? Surely not... it was just a song... just one song. It wasn't one of the ones from her childhood, but one she had learned recently, whilst studying the language of love.
The music track began playing and she jumped right in. She made a few errors, both in pronunciation and in rhythm, but completed the song to the best of her ability.

Emma applauded once she had finished. "Don't be absurd, you were wonderful."
She raised her recently-conjured glass of water to the Lieutenant in a jesting toast.
"To song."

"Let's agree to disagree then, because I definitely thought you were better..."
As she limped back the soldier laughed, once reaching the table she made herself a promise not to get up again so soon. She rolled her eyes as she found herself raising her own glass as well, and took a sip.
"I had forgotten how good a feeling singing can give you..."Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

"I quite agree. Duets are fun as well..."
Her eyes grew misty for a moment, a fond memory overwhelming her, a rather strong and attractive baritone echoing in her mental landscape. She sighed like a lovestruck schoolgirl.

Lt. Jayim smiled as the enchantress had her moment.
"You know, I only hope one day to have as strong a love with Remus that you and your husband share."Someone told me theres a girl out there
