The song continues for a time. Â The notes are serene, relaxing, more of a warm up than anything else. Â About midway through, rumbles of thunder from a distance away can be heard. Â The storm was still far off, but approaching quickly. Â Already the sun was gone; it was an early night.
Stares from the patrons no longer caused his gut to clench. Â No one was paying him, therefore foul opinions held little weight in Rhesh'ir's view. Still, it was nice to have a pleasant audience, albeit there were so few of them this evening. A small smile tugged at his lips. He did not ignore the Seeker's glance, but paid it no mind until the song was concluded.
Casually, he strummed gently across the strings, looking down to the instrument while listening. Â After making some small tuning adjustments, Rhesh'ir looks up, making eye contact with the one who did the same earlier.
"We meet again, miss," he says quietly, despite being across the room. At another rumble of thunder, his ears turn toward the noise. "It seems there is no exit for either of us this time. At least, not for a while."
