"Master Telluride, we are honored to have another one of your songs this day. Please, have the, ah, stage."
Nathan Telluride clears his throat. "First, a plea to everyone! I lost something on the trek over, something precious. My favorite snowball. It's been with me for a long time. So, if anyone finds a snowball on the way back, please return it?"
Nathan Telluride lifts his lute. "That said... ladies and gents, Halone's not just a figure for veneration and hushed talk - she's as integral to everyday life here in Coerthas as steel and vigor."
"And so, I share with you tonight a piece shared in tavers across these cold lands, of a great victory in what would have been an everyday, mundane event..."
"And It's called, "Caravan."
Nathan strums the lute, to set the key, and his voice drops to a low bass register.

Nathan Telluride stills the lute, and bows with a flourish. N'shiki exclaims, "Wonderful!" and the crowd applauds. "Hells, that was pretty good!" "Another fine song!" "Lovely song, Master Telluride."
