A kinship she had not even shared with her sister was made known to her, one that she knew she could grasp with these young ladies. She scanned their faces as they too, felt the reunion and knew for themselves the love and devotion that they had once shared.<br/><br/>Fading as quickly as it had sprung, reality felt so harsh by comparison. Gazing around, bewilderment and shame fell upon her as she noticed the fear in the patrons and barmaids. Bewilderment at how this had come to pass, shame at not rectifying the situation and just reveling in the memory of the past. "Sister, all is well." The words were spoken in little more than a whisper, but through the silence and fear of the moment, they stood clear. "Stranger in Blue holds us no longer. Though the journey was a blessed one." Arctic Fox stepped clear of the table and approached her sister, laying her own hand into the one blazing with flame. As she did so, Winter Flame extinguished the blazing threat, lest she harm her own sister. "He only reminded us of days gone by, of a promise given so many days ago." Arctic Fox turned to her sisters, maybe not of blood but her heart, "Sisters of my heart, will you forgive me? I did not remember, I did not seek you out, I left you in the dark where it is my jurisdiction to prowl." Her gaze rose again to the expressions of those watching on. "Good people, a misunderstanding is all, please, take this as the adventure that will offer fodder to speak of for days if not a week. Bartender, a round for all, it seems our theatrics may have caused a thirst. I am sure my friend will gladly compensate for the cost of the drinks." She gave a look to the figure in blue, though it was a bit awkward as Winter Fire had yet to let the 'friend' to the ground.<br/><br/>************************************************************************************************<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/bd/%5E846E518B1481611CD008024DF9F2F1C7B2480FC20110854ECB%5Epimgpsh_fullsize_distr.jpg)</div>Her sister's words confused Winter Fire, but even as they confounded her she exulted within to hear them from her kin who only moments before had stood unresponsive as the musician played with that all-knowing grin. Even now this close and with her own fist pushing against the torso, Winter Fire could not tell the beings gender. "Maestro, if you will. I ask that you have your aides detune this lovely harp. As exquisite as the tune was to hear,  I feel that your fingers would be better served giving them a rest. If not your aides, then I would gladly detune it for you. Though my technical skill is lacking, I feel I can serve this need." Winter Fire slowly lowered the musician, but does not release him while he retains the instrument.
