Arethin listened carefully to Jadae and Rosfin's song. He watched as the young smith transformed before his eyes into something new, something more like him. No longer was she just this imperturbable woman, who was a smith and an adventurer but little else; now she had, perhaps unconsciously, shown them all a new side of her, and Arethin felt the need to say something to her.
She bowed, looking a little uncomfortable with the motion, and when Jack and Rosfin finished their parts, Arethin went up to her, feeling a little uncomfortable himself; frankly, he was not used to girls, and wasn't sure that he was coming about this the right way. "Jadae, you have a lovely voice. I'd never heard that song before. Where did you learn it?"
