He continued along quite happily, looking forward to checking out the local fare; he wondered if there might be merchants hawking sweets and confections. He did have a sweet tooth or three that needed to be satisfied.  However, he is brought to attention when someone declares that a minstrel is in their presence; and not quite soberly, at that.<br/><br/>Without missing a beat, though, he took his lute, and gave the woman a pleasant, charming smile. "Of course, m'lady!" His fingers would slide delicately along the strings, plucking out a few nice notes as he adjusted his grip on the instrument.<br/><br/>"Well it's a lovely day,<br/>I simply must say,<br/>With the wind just right,<br/>And the sun not too bright,<br/>And perhaps I will dance a little number,<br/>To help rouse me from my slumber!"<br/><br/>As he began to sing, right around the line that started with 'And perhaps', he would begin to prance about; for there was more to a show than playing and singing. He liked to go all the way. His voice is lively, energetic to the point that those listening to him might feel energized by his performance.<br/><br/>"And later on,<br/>I'll find some friends,<br/>And we'll have some fun!<br/>We'll gamble and drink,<br/>And try not to think,<br/>Too hard.<br/>And as the day moves on,<br/>We'll hunt some game to roast,<br/>And fine wine will fill our glasses,<br/>So that I may make a toast,<br/>To our wealth,<br/>And our health,<br/>And to the gods big and small,<br/>We'll offer thanks to them all."<br/><br/>The entire time he sang, he played a steady, merry rhythm; the sort of music one could have a lively dance with. The actual music playing tapers off during the last few lines, and the very last of those lines is actually spoken without musical accompaniment; in fact, by the time he has reached the final word, the lute has already transitioned back to its place on his back.<br/><br/>He would bow, a bit superfluously, towards the woman who must clearly be a person of moderate import; or perhaps someone that was lucky enough to marry into the wealthier class.  He couldn't quite tell at a glance which she was. He did, however, surreptitiously give her a once-over, though his eyes are quick to take in her face, and gauge her reaction.
