INTERMISSION - Cressida & Drake
He'd lost sight of her in the crush of people, but it wasn't hard to find Cressida once he was out of the theatre. He came up behind her and put an arm around her shoulders, grinning. "So," he said conversationally, leading her off to the side; he would have to be careful about rumors starting up. There was no need to get Cress caught up in that. "What do you think so far?"
It had been a while since he'd heard Ari sing something that wasn't meant to heal or buff him, and he'd found himself entranced with her performance. At least, until the cat ears came out, and then he had just been amused. The Bards Guild had really gone all out on this, and he was suitably impressed. It had been a bit of a surprise to see Ash's name on the program though; from what he knew, she'd quit performing years ago.
