No small wonder, for Versengold was performing tonight and it was the only thing on Luna's mind since she got wind of the news. She had finished the days list of duties, which included mentoring a minor nobles son in history for most of the afternoon. The hours took their toll on Luna, although she loved the subject the student sure as hell didn't and wondered off on every tangent imaginable. Still her efforts were rewarded with two wheels of soft blue-vein cheese that only the upperclass would consider eating. After returning to the Pinned Duck to give the cheese to her landlord, Luna had time for a quick bath and spared just enough time to put on some eye shadow and get dressed before making her way to the performance.<br/><br/>Luna was excited, she had heard of the act in several fashions. They used to be adventurers themselves, something Luna often dreamed of being. Luckily for them they lived through their ordeals and were alive to put their adventures into song. Such songs were like bread to bards. New stories often captured the imagination of others, especially if the protagonists were still alive. All it took for a commoner to become a hero was a song with a good tune. Well it was ONE way people became heroes. She knew whatever she could learn from this troupe was pure gold.<br/><br/>The young bard felt anxious, she only had two silver in her pouch and everyone else was buying drinks. If she was asked to order something it would seriously hurt her finances. Gosh she needed money. That cheese she gave the landlord today was to pay for rent that she was in arrears for,  often the nobles required her services, but not always, it was never something to count on. Still, luckily, one tutor session had came just in time which put the bard in a good mood. The place however was packed, some people were even bickering over seats. Luna scanned the crowd and noticed two peculiar things. Firstly there was a man with a hooded clock sitting alone at a table, he looked dangerous. If it was crowded and he sat alone it meant that others thought it best to be away from the stranger. He looked very handsome. Luna couldn't help but smile at the man. Then her attention moved to a table close-by.<br/><br/>There was a waitress overlooking two people but she currently had her back to Luna, one of those she was overlooking was a man in high quality dark robes, a scholar ? Hmm, his garment didn't match any schools that Luna knew of, the other person close to him was an unusual woman. She had a tail of all things, like a cat, and feline ears instead of human ears. Not only that but she was curvy and wore leathers to show it too. An exotic beauty. There would be many places that would pay a lot to have her kind work for them, probably places she shouldn't work at but still, strange doors open for exotic people. Luna shrugged then walked close two the commotion. Instead of sitting Luna lent on the fireplace where she wasn't blocking anyone's view.<br/><br/>
