But now was the time for something a bit more festive, to rouse everyone's spirits again. Thus, with an elequant pull of her bow, Cera started the little ditty that would begin the song, Raggle Taggle Gypsy-o!

Krystic chuckled as she heard Cera's tune. Oh, how she knew this song too well, as it was commonly sung amongst her caravan, if not all Travelers' Caravans. As she stood up, she twirled before singing out the verses to the tune.
There were three young gypsys came to our hall door,
beggin' brave and boldly-o
And one sang high and the other sang low
and the lady sang the raggle taggle gypsy-o
So upstairs and downstairs the lady went,
put on her suit of leather-o
It was the song of the gypsy at the door
she ran away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
But late that night, the lord came in,
inquiring of his lady-o,
the servant girls replied to him all,
"She ran away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o"
So he rode east and he rode west,
he rode north and south also
but when he came to the wide open field
it was there that he spied his lady-o
"Ah why do you leave your house and your land,
why do you leave your lord also?
Tonight you lie with your back upon the ground,
in the arms of your raggle taggle gypsy-o."
"Ah what care I for my house and my land
what care I for my lord also?
I'd rather have a kiss from the lovely gypsy's lips
than all of your gold and your money-o".
There were three young gypsys came to our hall door,
beggin' brave and boldly-o,
and the one sang high, and the other sang low,
and the lady sang the raggle taggle gyspy-o

Ni 'ari laughed out, as this was a song he felt he could harmonize with, though he did his best not to drown out the sound of the Traveler's voice completely. He tapped his hooved foot to keep the beat of the song as he sang and played along.

The minotaur laughed out as Krystic ended her song. Watching her sing and dance caused him to think of another tune that seemed to fit accordingly, the Queen of Argyle. With a wink to Cera, he strummed out a few notes, so she could take on the melody with her violin. He wondered though, if Skrayper knew of the song, as another male voice would help indeed make the verses all the better. Gentlemen, it is my duty
To inform you of one beauty
though I'd ask of you a favor no to seek her for a while
Though I own she is a creature
of character and feature
For no words can paint the picture of the Queen of all Argyle
And if you could have seen her there
boys, if you had just been there,
the swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
they bowed and asked for pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyle
On the evening that I mentioned
I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country known for beauty and for style
In a place of noble thinkers, of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendor of the Queen of all Argyle
And if you could have seen her there
boys, if you had just been there,
the swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
they bowed and asked for pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyle
So my lads I needs must leave you
My intentions no to grieve you
Nor indeed would I decieve you, for I'll see you in a while
I must find some way to gain her
To court her and to tame her
For I fear, my heart's in danger from the Queen of all Argyle
And if you could have seen her there
boys if you had just been there,
the swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
they bowed and asked for pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyle
And if you could have seen her there
boys if you had just been there,
the swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
they bowed and asked for pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyle

It seemed not to matter much to Krystic whether or not her beloved knew the song, for she chimed in during the chorus, singing high with the birds as she danced about glade's gardens.

Cera smiled as she sang and played along as well. She remembered when Ni 'ari used to sing it to her when their friendship was still young. She rocked back and forth in her dancing as she played, enjoying the time that slowly passed by. Indeed, Lunaris would be proud, to have such a celebration of life here before her and her alter.

Laughing out at the end, he excused himself for the moment, as he went back to the grill to go and start cooking up some lunch. Indeed, he was having a good time with the new people he met. He would have to thank Cera later, for finding herself a good set of friends to enjoy life with.

"Miss Cera, I want to thank you for inviting us to your picnic. It is wonderful way of celebrating the coming of spring...and I must admit, we have been in need to venture from the haven for a bit of fresher air. What made you think to invite us, especially if we have never formally met before?"...she asked as she sat down next to her lover for the moment.

"Aye"...she nodded in agreement with the earthen girl..."I cannot say I've seen yer kind around my parts in a good century or so"...she crossed her arms just below her chest, as she adjusts her comfort against the rock.

She smiles warmly as she looks to Wyrrd first.
"I have memories of your home, and when I saw that you were still indeed alive and well, I thought it would be a kind gesture to get you out of the tavern for a bit."
Then, she turned to Krystic.
"I once traveled through your haven several times during it's growth. I watched it transform into something majestic, and when I found you behind its power and beauty, I knew I had to have you here to celebrate the time of the year where you thrive the most. Your presense makes the gardens even more luxurious than they would ever by by themselves. I thank you"...and glancing at Wyrrd..."I thank you both for joining me here today."

Wyrrd snirked a moment, before taking another swig of her brew. Boy was this woman overly polite and gracious.

Grok appeared on a rise, looking down on the majestic garden and the inhibitants. With a grin, he picked up his pace, disapearing behind a hill, then reappearing. Giving a hearty wave as he reached them, he looked about. Spotting only a few that he knew, he stayed a bit back, so as not to intrude.

Ritanya blinked her eyes open, looking around at everyone. She let out a slight yawn, stretching her body to work the kinks out. She smiled to her friends, her arms reaching upwards. "Sorry, nodded off for a moment there... I dreamed of singing..." she chuckled softly.

Skrayper ceased his playing, looking over at everyone with a bright smile. He glanced over, seeing a large gentleman in the distance. He waved him over, waving. "Greetings my friend!"
