Title: For the Little Lady Over There
Characters: Eco, Belca, random unnamed man #879
Rating: G
For my +C buddies ;3; I'm sorry it's horrid.
"Hey, you're a bard, aren't you?"
Eco looks up from his box and smiles, nods once and motions to his lute.
"Uh huh! Do you have a song in mind, sir?"
"Well... You see, there's this young lady, and --"
"-- you want to serenade her, right? But you don't have the ability to do so?"
"Yes, that's it exactly."
"Hm~ Okay! I'll do my best. Where is she?"
He follows the man's finger to a young lady across the hall-- and stifles a laugh when he sees it's Belca. Or, should he say, Mariebelle?
The man pays him two bags of gold, though, and Eco whistles to get Belca's attention. As soon as he has it, he winks to the prince and picks out a melody - and starts to sing, much to Belca's embarrassment.
"My love is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June.
My love is like the melody,
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I,
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun.
And I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee well, my only love,
And fare thee well a while!
And I will come again, my love,
Thou' t'were ten thousand mile."
Belca only turns redder when he realizes it's for him, and Eco hides his grin behind his hand, favorably ignoring the dirty look and instead smiling again at the man who paid him.
"There, I think I've gotten the message across to your lady! It doesn't look as if she's favorable to your intentions though, sir, so it's best probably best that you leave."
When the spurned lady - that is, the spurned prince who is definitely going to kill that stupid bard - starts over, the man nods nervously and disappears into the crowd. Eco strums his lute meanwhile, and only laughs when Belca grabs him by his collar and yanks him up.
"What the hell was that for, idiot?"
"That man asked me to sing you a love song! What'd you think?"
Belca splutters for a second - my, Eco never thought he'd see that shade of puce - and loosens his grip, settling down next to him with a groan.
"How embarrassing."
Eco's hand sneaks around and grabs Belca's, squeezing it. Belca scowls and tugs his hand away.
"A little. Humility is something you'll learn a lot about though, so it'll be no problem next time."
"There won't be a next time."
