Storytelling and Song, Tuesday

[ohvalleyofpenis]

Jaskier was prepared for his first class, lute strapped to his back and a well worn notebook in hand. "Welcome, welcome... a little more intimate of a class than I thought it would be, but I can work with that," he said, powering on through. "We'll be learning the very important skill of turning history into a story that people will actually remember."

Note how he didn't say it would be an accurate record, just a catchy one.

"I am Jaskier and I have a bard for many years now, having traveled here and there and, unfortunately here again. How about you introduce yourselves and we can see if any talent lies within you for this?"

Otherwise this was just going to be a struggle. Or at least a project to work on. Either of those two.

Astrid knew from the name of the class that this was going to be a bit of stretch for her, but, well...she was here, anyway, might as well try to make the most of it?

"I'm Astrid," she offered, "and my talents don't really land anywhere near storytelling unless it's with a picture, and I probably couldn't even carry a tune with a bucket..."

Which was modest, sure, but she was also not exactly about to turn toward any stellar career as a songstress any time soon, either.

"I do like history, though?" she offered, with a note of hopefulness in her voice, like it could be one saving grace.

"With beauty such as that, you could inspire the songs instead," Jaskier assured her without even missing a beat.

Astrid, however, was going to take a beat.

She might need to take several.

....oh boy.

And yet, once she took those few moments, she found that all she could say was, "I have actually inspired a few poems before."

Sure, they were incredibly embarrassing and written by her mother about her being a baby and her growing up, but that didn't negate the fact that it was true, even if that was definitely not what this guy was talking about.

And a very strange part of her was a little curious what he'd have to say about that information, too.

"See? You are well on your way to making that history next," Jaskier replied.
