Welcome to Gaia! ::

Linwe sighed, raising his eyes to the heaven. "And just as much as I could never understand our friend, neither could she understand the bard's soul," he pointed out. "Do not worry. I will take care of myself and my own. A bard is no use in a group like this, it seems, where everyone is up in arms about my songs, about my lute, and about any other form of my music. As I said before, I ought to be getting back to the temple then, where I will not be forced into a spot where I feel like my soul is about to burst because you give me no creative outlet." He shrugged, tossing back his bag back over his shoulder. "No, a bard is at home no matter where the road. I will travel a bit, but I will surely not miss what you must see as pointless bickering over a trivial subject. And perhaps, perhaps that is why I'm feeling like I cannot stay."

(( Frickin' control freak. But he's right. We're at an impasse. You don't ask a world-class pianist to stop playing for any amount of funds. No one would live the life of a bard if that wasn't their calling. On another note, Linwe's starting to feel a little apprehensive from Koara again. He didn't like her in the first place. ))

After watching them argue over the topic, Clarence finally stepped in and spoke his mind. He held off becuase he wanted to see how the different personalities connected, or rather, didn't connect so far in this situation.

"Alright, that's enough. Look everyone, I will not allow this conversation to carry on any longer. And I certainly won't allow this negative energy to continue for the rest of our journey."

"Viren, we are not here to cater to you, there must be something that doesn't bother you, some form of music that Linwe can play that just so happens to not bother you. Weither it be song, or another instrument."

"Linwe, Viren, and Koara, I want you all to shake hands, and resolve this situation right now. And I don't want to even think I felt any form or resentment from any of you again. Understood?"

((As you can see, the color is over when it comes to posting a post. You can still use color if you want to, but you must now use " " when your character is talking. And as for thinking, you must do soemthing like,

"Clarence thought to himself that maybe this wasn't such a bad idea to take them along for the ride."

Does that all make sence?))

((I actually did the same thing, I wanted to wait for Sage to post. ^^ heart ))

Teytay stepped into the conversation finally after waiting for Clarence to speak. She knew what she wanted to say and she knew what she would do if she were the leader, but since she wasn't she was willing to wait to see what Clarence would decide to do. At the same time, she wanted to put her two cents in.

"Derrik, I think that the idea is possible. Not my first choice, but possible. I'd rather hope to see that maybe Viren can stand certian types of our Bards music, and that she will be able to stay with the group. I think she'd be a good lookout way up front, but I'd rather her be here with us."

"But Clarence, what do you think?"

(( Actually, he offered to use a flute and to sing, and she continued to say that any music would bother her. The RP hadn't fallen apart at all in my opinion. We're not all going to get along like good school children right at the start, especially with Linwe in the group. Oh, and my OOC comment above was about Linwe, my character, just in case anyone was getting confused. ))

Oh, the negative energy. He simply had a passive, yet dreamy look on his face, glancing over at the other two. Viren would not be the major problem for him in the group, he sensed again. It would be Koara. She already didn't like him, and if he were her, he would start looking for small things to find wrong with him...

Shake hands. That was the last thing he wanted to do. But a follower of Sehanine would have no issue shaking hands, especially on such a paltry manner. "Had it been anything but my craft," he said in a drafty voice, extending his hand, "I would never have allowed myself to get so heated."

He had learned quite a bit from the interaction, quite a bit indeed, especially how Teytay and Derrik responded. He waited, however for Viren to respond to Clarence before touching any of his instruments, still holding his hand out to shake, placing a dreamy smile on his face.

((Well it's good to know that you don't consider it falling apart, that makes me feel better.))

Clarence watched them shake and make up and he was pleased. He now waited to see if Viren would be able to enjoy Linwe's music in some other form; his fingers were 'crossed' so to speak.

Clarence thought to himself as he waited to see what would happen. "If this doesn't work then we may never be able to get on with our journey, daylight as already past, and I fear that maybe we'll have to wait till tomorrow to head out. I can't let that happen, what would everyone think? I have a reputation to uphold, including my own. The people of the caravan would think much less of me and the family if I am not able to get us on the road. It really amazes me sometimes how so many differences can be found between different cultures." His thoughts kept going through his head, and he knew what he would do if things didn't work out.

"They didn't make him our leader for no reason, he knows how to handel situations very well. And he's always been able to do that. When we were younger, we'd play in the fields, with the rest of the cousins and kids our age that lived in the castle. When fights would break out, he's always know what to do." The memories floated around in Teytay's head, reminding her of her childhood as she thought the words to herself.

A smile formed on her face, and just as soon as it came, it went away as her sences came back to the situation at hand. She saw the hands shake, and that meant that they were willing to get along.
