The bard stayed relatively quiet throughout their encounter with the guard captain. There were about a hundred things he could say; he was half tempted to ask her if she knew of the Custom of Hospitality.  Get her alone, see if he can't help her unwind. But no, he figured his traveling companions wouldn't appreciate that.  And despite some of the things he says and does, he does care about that.<br/><br/>"I knew you had the soul of a poet." he would say to the Paladin before she left. Why? Because 'free' and 'me' rhymed. More importantly, there was good spacing in her word choice; it had a sort of natural rhythm to it that was likely only to be truly appreciated by fellow minstrels.  Heck, if she brought up the idea of doing a song about it, he'd have to include those lines. Have to. No exception! His Muse would demand it of him.
