That's pretty, [ softly, a little muffled. Derrica draws the crystal up across the pillow. ] I don't know it, but it's nice. Where did you learn it?

[sulahnan]

Oh, it was probably a tavern or a brothel somewhere, [ she finally drags herself up off the floor so she can lay down on the bed, parallel to the pillows. ] maybe on the ship, but I can't remember. What about the one you were thinkin' of?

One of my classmates heard it somewhere, and taught the rest of us. I assume she heard it somewhere she wasn't supposed to be. [ a pause, then a quiet chuckle. ] Like a tavern, probably. I never asked.

[sulahnan]

[ She smiles, unseen, at that chuckle. It's good to hear Derrica laugh, even that much. ] If you remember the words maybe you can teach it to me sometime, and I'll teach you mine. Song for a song.

We should try that in a tavern. If we do it at the right time of night someone will probably buy us a pitcher of something good.

[ That gets a soft (slightly hoarse) laugh in turn. ]

Sounds like a plan. You can pick the time and place.
