(Told from Ethyn's perspective)

Cal?  He can be summed up in one word: gadabout.  Almost every night he’d scope out the city for the newest public house and frequently wouldn’t return until the break of dawn.  The master was none too pleased with his behavior, but he looked past Cal’s antics.  Cal had a remarkable ability to recover and performed flawlessly through drills and lectures.  Music came so naturally to him, and, although I learned quickly, I worked twice as hard to reach his level of talent.

When the master sent us on our quest to discover the music of outlaying regions, Cal’s habits only intensified.  Sure, he and I learned a great amount, but only after the nightly game of ale and sex.  I knew his routine backwards and forwards.  I could predict which tactic he would use on which night and on which person.  So how did I actually fall for him?
