Dear Diary. Two performances – of sorts – in the same day! First I met Leesa at the theatre (don’t think I know her last name. Do I need to know her last name? Nah). Leesa is an old friend of Talya le Salyndri, from Tubor. It’s fun to get to speak so much Tubori these days – it seems there is a new island-folk to be found under every plank of the theatre nowadays.
…. Aaaanyway. As I was writing, I met Leesa at the theatre. She is seeking to the Troubadour guild and I’m a big softie for this kind of stuff. We did a small performance with various emotions. Not bad at all. Talya showed up in the middle and took the role of the cheating wife – Neesa does a very good angry husband, I give her that (but I’m skittish around sharp things and her waving her very real knife around for emphasis is a tad too realistic for my tastes). She’ll get into the guild in no time, especially with Talya so feverishly promoting her. Heh.
… Then in the evening Mistress Fournier set up an impromptu performance! I had no idea until ten minutes before it. The Poet Laudate is a great singer, but that was no surprise to me. No, what had me amazed was that she did something spontaneous like that. She even put me up for the last act without asking me first! I was quite impressed with her lack of forethought actually – almost like something I’d do! I didn’t know she had it in her!
… Of course Mrs Fournier is not a fool like me, so she didn’t quite see the greatness, but tried to apologize to me for the late notice. I don’t think I can really explain to her why there is nothing to apologize for.
Oh, and Talya sang too – very nicely by all means. And I did a little story to round things up. But that’s neither here nor there.
And Orbie’s back!
