Ahhh, another beautiful day. Perfect weather to get a bit of training in.
link Annette volume_up
There you are! I've been looking all over for you!
link Shez volume_up
Hey, Annette. Not used to seeing anyone else up and about this early—what's up?
link Annette volume_up
Urgh, this is awful! Just the worst!
link Shez volume_up
Uh... This doesn't have anything to do with me, does it?
link Annette volume_up
It absolutely does! You sang my song in front of the other mercenaries!
link Shez volume_up
Your...song?
link Shez volume_up
Ohhh, you mean the one about the horse that had a human face.
link Annette volume_up
No! I mean, yes! But that's not what it's about at all!
link Shez volume_up
Really? I could've sworn the lyrics said something about the guy's body being eighty percent horse.
link Shez volume_up
I liked it so much I couldn't stop humming it to myself, and then I had to teach it to the other mercs when they overheard me.
link Annette volume_up
Which explains why I heard it in all corners of the camp. It really caught me off guard.
link Annette volume_up
I haven't sung it for anyone else yet. Only you.
link Shez volume_up
Sorry, should I have kept it to myself? I thought it was a great little tune, honest.
link Annette volume_up
I'm glad you liked it that much, but I hadn't even finished writing the lyrics yet.
link Annette volume_up
I don't mind my songs getting around once I'm happy with how they turned out.
link Annette volume_up
But it's super embarrassing when people hear one before I've finished writing it.
link Shez volume_up
OK yeah, that's fair. It's no fun when people see or hear something when you're not ready to show it off.
link Shez volume_up
I mean, I'm the same way. I can't stand it when other people watch me practice my swordwork. Though I can't really avoid it if I wanna get any real training in.
link Annette volume_up
Exactly. But my song's out in the wild now, and there's no putting that cat back in the box.
link Shez volume_up
C'mon, is it really so bad to show something off while it's still in-progress? Everything's gotta start somewhere.
link Shez volume_up
And besides, the earlier you let people listen to your songs, the sooner you can get their feedback and incorporate it.
link Annette volume_up
Maybe, but I still feel weird about it. Either way, my song's out in the wild now, and there's no putting that cat back in the box.
link Annette volume_up
I guess I'll just have to wait till everyone forgets it.
link Shez volume_up
Hey, uh... I'm really sorry about all this. I could tell everyone to pretend like they never heard it, if you think that would help.
link Annette volume_up
No, absolutely not! That'll just make them all suspicious!
link Shez volume_up
In that case, why don't you just finish the song? Then you can sing the final version for everyone, and they'll forget about the old one in no time.
link Shez volume_up
You might not be happy with it right now, but it's clearly catchy if all those people are loving it.
link Annette volume_up
Hmm, you have a point there. I guess I just need to finish up the lyrics, then.
link Shez volume_up
That's the spirit! Though I do really like the whole "eighty percent horse" part.
