*Dropping the sign*

[Azalea]

*Azalea smiles at Cali*

"I think so."

[Rachel NPC]

*Cali relaxes her stance and settles back against the trunk*

"Just be gentle with the Earth Mother, that's all I ask."

[Rolin Smith]

*Rolin rolls his eyes at the back and forth motioning to the shepherds hook.*
"Really? I've seen the tents you, your brother, and your friend occupy and there is more pegging into the ground than this. As far as Mother Earth, I always give thanks for the abundance of materials provided, if I was wanton why would I surround myself with wild elves? Besides, for the crooked sign, if that's the only crooked thing we have in our smithy we are doing better than most."

[Rachel NPC]

*Cali stiffly straightens herself from the tree and crosses over to Rolin*

"And your sensitivity to your craft is why I allow you to stick around. Additionally, having such generous smiths within our ranks comes in handy when my brother deigns to rejoin us after disappearing into the thick of battle."

*She smirks and knocks her shoulder amiably against his, and then winks at Azalea*

[Vianne]

*Vianne takes a step forward still staying out of the way of Rolin and Accalia.*

"Alright so everyone is happy now. The crooked sign with be put up gently as to not hurt the Earth Mother, and the smiths stay to continue there wonderful work."

*She gives a half smile, trying to lighten up the conversation if she can.*

[Rachel NPC]

*Cali looks to Vianne, as if noticing her presence for the first time*

"Bard! I know exactly what would liven up our smiths' spirits! A jaunty tune perhaps? Something they might whistle along to while they work?"

[Vianne]

*Vianne for a second looks a little stunned at Accalia's change in thought. Also recognizing her tone as a little challenge.*

"Sure, hmmmmmm let me think."

*Vianne looks from Azalea, to Rolin and than back to Accalia. This time smiling. Whipping out her flute she plays a little bit of a higher note and hums it for a second.*

"Ralinwood Ralinwood what should I say. The friends and the foe’s that we have made day by day.Though all so different, one thing we do share. Defend and protect, believe it I swear. Not matter the challenge that may come our way, we come together all as one to see another day. So listen my friends to the song that I sing, be happy and thankful to all that we bring."

*Vianne finshs er song and looks at all the three standing there.*

"So what do you think."

[Rachel NPC]

*The corner of Cali's lips twitches upwards. She tilts her head and nods her approval*

"That was quite nice."

[Vianne]

*Vianne takes a little sigh of relief*

"Why thank you Cali"

[Azalea]

"Finally! A song from our bard! It was quite lovely, as well."
