Late morning - Stables

[thinkbetterofme]

The weather did not suit to spend the entire morning outside, so Faramir had settled himself on a stack of fresh hay in Baru's box. The horse did not seem to mind the company, and Faramir enjoy the quiet in the stables. It led to lesser distractions as he read through one of the books his brother had sent him. This one told the history of the Kin-

To say that Dolf hadn't expected to wake up singing something straight out of Acda & de Munnik's back catalogue would be a slight understatement.

Once he realised that it wasn't going to stop, he'd decided that it would probably be a good idea to be somewhere where people weren't, right now, and for some reason the stables had seemed like a good idea.

So, to recap: Dolf, stable doors, right now, staring.

And Faramir had not been expecting the company so he was still singing.

"Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're-"

That would be when he noticed someone was staring at him and Faramir quickly shut up. "Dolf."

It was only polite to return the greeting with a held up hand.

They could pretend he was not singing a moment ago, yes? Not that he thought there was much wrong with songs, but he usually preferred to stick to the Elvish songs.

"Baru likes the company," he explained. "How have you been?"

Somehow Maladicta had avoided singing so far. But that didn't mean she hadn't heard other people doing so. The hope that vampires were magically immune ran strong right now.

"Singing to your horse?"

[thinkbetterofme]

Faramir cleared his throat, fighting the urge to continue the song. "He enjoys the attention," he replied, hoping she had not heard too much.

[inneedofcoffee]

She was being polite about it, at least!

"I'm sure he does," she replied with a grin. "That's not another of your Elvish songs, I take it."

[thinkbetterofme]

"No," he frowned and put his book to the side, motioning for her to sit with him. "I do not know what it was, it was no song I have heard before."

He shrugged, but did not seem too bothered now. "What brings you to the stables? Did you miss Baru?"
