What is Romance?


Rali: *pulls out her lute and plucks softly*

Rali: ~ Oh Aaaaaaaash?

Ash: ~ Yes Rali?

Rali: ~ Please give to me your words. . . what to you is Romance?


Ash: *plays a short reprieve on his own lute as if considering her question, then sings*

Ash: ~ Some colors, Dear Love-ly bring to my heart a dance. . .

Ash: ~ Like Black. . . night sky . . .

Ash: ~. . . and eyes with lashes so long, your hair. . . ! *eyes travel her form, slowly, lower and lower, his fingers dance the lute, adds:*

Ash: ~and green!

Rali: ~ Avaveen


Rali: *chuckles melodically, placing a finger beneath his chin, raising his gaze back to hers* Ohhhh Aaaaaaaash. . . *sings lightheartedly, as if to bring him back from a dream*

Ash: ~ Hmmmm? Yes Rali? *snaps out of it with a dramatic shake of his head then smiles*

Rali: ~ What else is ro-mance?

Ash: ~ You tell me, sweet Lovely


Rali: ~ Ohhhhh *strums*. . hmmm *strums*. . A breeze and a walk

Rali: ~ The docks!

Rali: ~Ship bells, and sea gulls, sailors’ calls, *grins* Ahoy!

Ash: ~ Ahoy!


Rali: ~ And Find-ing a friend. . . to teach new things

Rali: ~ Like skipping stones. . .

Ash: ~ *adds, a lilting whisper* Quiet moans

Rali: ~ Holding hands and holding back, the first touch

Rali: ~ a clutch! *voice trails to humming as she closes her eyes and sways, hands to her heart clasped, the lute neck between them*

Ash: *interrupts her trance, singing low and teasing* ~ Oh Raaaaaali?

Rali: *opens eyes and looks at him, raising brows* ~ Hmmmmmmmmmmm? *tucks her lute away swiftly*

Ash: ~ I think there is more to hear . . . my dear. . .


Ash: ~ Moonlight walks and music

Ash: ~ Firelight and roses,

Rali: ~ Waterfall spray and wet hair. . .

Ash: *sneaks the line in* ~ Your legs, bare

Ash: ~ taste of sweat, softly breathing in my ear

Rali: ~ Humming, Ash, on my neck *touches a finger to her neck, trails it to her shoulder, grinning*

Ash: ~ Soft pillows, Rali, and Shoulders kissed with Rain

Rali: ~ Mmmm rainy kisses. . . *pulls out her umbrella with a grin*

Ash: ~ perfume, roses, and diiiiiiiirty red wine

Rali: ~ Mmmmmm wiiiiiine *opens the umbrella*

Rali: ~. . . and winking!

Rali: ~ and Laughing *singing turns more quiet, pushes open her umbrella to hide them*

Rali: ~ And bites! *heard from behind the umbrella*

Ash: ~ Of pie! *sung to her, volume lower still*

Ash: ~ And back rubs, Rali . . . *they walk backstage, both humming, their voices mingling, volume trailing off behind them softly*
