Samantha took a long look at the man, her smile returning somewhat. It was suprisingly warm. At least she could relate to that kind of loss, the loss of something big, to be stripped of what you use to define yourself and have it replaced with what others wish to see. "Accident... I know how it is to lose everything. I'm scared it'll happen again. Everyone can take what you sherish away from you. Don't think that kind of mentality is particularly healthy for a human being, though."

"Or maybe I'm just rambling." Samantha sighs and scrapes her booted feet over the pavement. It didn't feel okey to talk about it. In fact even thinking about her durance indirectly sent shivers off terror down her spine.

Seth stops playing his guitar and looks to the woman, "Yeah you are, but its okay." Seth says with a smile. "Do you play?" Seth says holding up his Martin Guitar.

"If awkwardly striking the strings without having a clue what to do counts as playing, then yes." Her smile remains though and she takes the guittar, nimble fingers tracing its lines. She settles it as comfortably as she can, though it is hard with her small frame. When she's satisfied she strikes a cord.

Trying to Play

The sound she produces is little more than musical gibberish. She smiles anyway. "Heh, told you. I hardly make the instrument justice. It's of a fine make. Very fine make."

Orphan and Tam enter Reverence, hand in hand, checking out the place.

"Ready for more dancing?" he asks.

"All right, Let me help out" Seth moves over and slides in behind her. Moving her over to sit on his lap. He takes the guitar and sits it on her lap and wraps his arms around her. "Same way I taught my goddaughter." Seth takes her hands and lines them up on the fret board. "Okay strum like ... this." He helps her strum across. "Nice that's a G but loosen up your strum hand." Seth helps her strum as he does most of the fret work.

"If I leave here tomorrow, will you still remember me." he sings quietly

Samantha tenses up noticably as Seth moves up behind her and her cheeks is coloured slightly darker. For a few moments she seems at a loss as to what to do. It resolves itself as he guides her hands on the guitar and she can focus her mind on following his instructions. At least, it does so untill he sings.

When he does she turns her head slightly towards him, her ears oddly enough almost seeming to peark upwards, and listens.

Seth continues to sing the song, guiding her hand in the fret work and in the strumming. His nails his strum hand are grown a little long for picking. Seth continues to sing quietly as he slowly pulls his hand away from the strumming, leaving Samantha strumming all on her own. He keeps fretting as his other hand gently rests on the outside of her hip.

"For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl, "

He continues singing as she strums. His breath warm on the back of her ear and nape of her neck.

Samantha leans back against Seth, actualy seeming content with things since he first spoted her. The smile on her lips widen as she sinks back against his chest. She keeps struming the guittar as shown while her free hand wanders down to rest on his on her hip.

As she listens she closes her eyes, giving a rather delighted sigh of enjoyment.

Tam soaks in the atmosphere and the music.

"Yeah, let's hit the dance floor!"

She moves through the crowd ahead of Orphan, knowing he will catch up soon enough.

Seth continues playing and singing as the little woman leans into him. It feels good to have someone this close

"Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,

Seth feels her hand cover his and he stiffens a little but then relaxes again continuing the singing. Seth is surprised he is getting this close to someone, being this... intimate with someone he just met.

And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change."

Seth keeps playing and smells the woman's hair, smells like fresh firewood and ash. He liked that smell. Reminds him of bonfires with the band...
