"It would make me happier than you could know." Oswell is smiling broadly, clearly pleased she had remembered his small group of men. The soldiers standing nearby begin to look their way, wondering why the lady from Myr was seen among them.

Shah nods slowly, "Where can I sing? And I do this and you take me as guest in Riverlands when war over." She smiled.

Oswell order a chest brought over from the gear to be left behind, it is placed before the troop of soldiers who had now gathered with growing interest. "I hope this will do, it is all we have for the moment. You have my word my lady, once the war has ended I will be your humble guide through the Riverlands. Perhaps once Riverrun has been restored you will do me the honor of gracing it halls with your voice."
Oswell turns to his men, "This is the lady Shahrizai of Myr, listen well fellows. Her voice is the like of which you have not heard in many a year. Take comfort in it, for I fear we will have little enough for some time to come." He turns back to Shah and gestures for her to begin when she was ready.

She accepts a soldiers help to climb on the chest and stands on it. She's able to see almost all their faces from her vantage point and thought it would serve. "Thank you for listening."
She begins the ad hoc concert with a lewd lyric describing a rooster and how it rises in the morning and settles into its home at night to get the men in high spirits. Afterwards she sings a more serious song about a maiden waiting for the return of her knight, switching perpspectives between the maiden and the knight. The maiden faces problems at home and is nearly seduced by a lecherous man, but keeps her vow to the knight. The knight faces many trials of combat and honour, and when all is nearly lost he starts to sing of his love and wins the last battle. He is reunited with his love in the end, and though the song is sombre and reflective she gives it a ring of hope for the men that had lost so much.
She bows when she is done.

When she finishes many of the men launch into cheers and clapping, some begin crying as they think of loved ones long dead. Oswell holds back tears himself, putting on a proud face for the benefit of both himself and those around him. He steps forward to help her down, "You have given us a great prize my lady, one we will not son forget. None here thought to get a sending off at all, now we all have hope for the future we will fight for. ou will be forever welcome in the Riverlands." Oswell bowed to her, alongside his close captains.

"Thank you Lord Tully. I do what I can, I not as great soldier as you all. Not have great courage as you all. I will pray for success in your journey's and battle." Shah bows in return again. "I hope to see you in time my lord."

"You are as brave as any man here in your own way, else you would not be here. We thank you for your prayers, and in turn I will pray for your continued safety. I would be saddened should anything impede your tour of my home. Until we meet again my lady," Oswell kisses her hand and bows one last time before turning back to his men.

Shah smiles and departs the camp with her follower.
