Such funny little things, those gnomes. Always tinkering, trifling and toiling over some experiment that was just as likely to put them through its gears like a meat grinder as it was to make them a cup of coffee. 'At least,' Etheda mentally mused, '<span style="color: Plum">their work doesn't have quite as much of a tendency to blow up as a goblin's.</span>'<br/><br/>The bard skipped happily down the dirty road, making his way to the Lion's Pride Inn, his violin making merry, lively music as he made his way to the tavern. Too consumed by the magical magnificence that manifested, the Quel'dorei bard kicked open the door with a twirl and a leap, making a prideful presentation to a bar that he was at first oblivious that it was swarming with cantankerous curs and stoned, seething slobs, all flinging fists, flasks and flaming fury. Etheda showed little to no concern for the entire thing, twisting and slipping 'twixt the troublemakers and tossed tankards alike, seeming to be dancing to the stairwell.<br/><br/>Upon reaching the top of the stairs, arriving at the open door of room 42, Etheda riffed a righteous, ringing note so high that those with sensitive hearing would have cringed. It wasn't that it was a screech either, but it sounded from such a shrill instrument that one would have thought it to be the scream of a large bat, and perhaps wonder, if they were to recognize the instrument,  that the bow may be smoking. Once his presentation had finished, Etheda introduced himself to the rest of the group. "<span style="color: Plum">Good evening, my fellows!</span>" he said jovially, "<span style="color: Plum">I am Etheda Helviate, madcap and minstrel, at your service.</span>" He straightened himself and made an elegant bow with much twirling of his hands. "<span style="color: Plum">I do hope that our employer has not gotten himself hurt in the mess downstairs.</span>" He then placed himself adjacent to the naga, likewise resting his shoulders against the wall.<br/><br/>((He's such a fucking ham and he knows it.))<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
