Lysaer stood in a place, playing on his lute, where he had a good view over the market square. He kept an eye out for the healer's daughter.

After about an hour, Lysaer sees the girl, with two other female companions, walking arm in arm, smelling roses, and giggling, although he can not hear what they are discussing.

Lysaer moved closer to the three ladies, hoping that he might hear what they were talking about.

"he's sooo romantic..." Lysaer hears the healer's daughter say, "He buys me the most expensive wines, and he says next week, we'll go on a trip out of the city..."

Lysaer stepped in front of the three laides, and offered the three women a big smile as he played his lute.

The girls smile, "Ah.. hello master bard, how do you fare today?" says the largest and dumpiest of the three girls.

"I had the most dull day until I saw the three of you enter the market. May I interest you in me playing you a song?" he said with a large smile and bow with his head. "Free of course, I would never even think of charging such beautiful ladies." he added and looked at the healer's daughter with his blue-grey eyes and gave her his finest smile.

The fat girl clapped her hands gleefully, "Oh yes... play us a song..."
The healer's daughter nodded slowly, seeming unimpressed.

Lysaer smiled and bowed his head to the healer's daughter and placed his fingers to the strings, having tuned it just before he walked over to the group of women. He decided to play a song, written by a bard named Tomas Cempion.
"Love me or not, love her I must or die ;
Leave me or not, follow her needs must I.
O that her grace would my wish comforts me.
How rich in her, how happy should I live !
All my desire, all my delight should be
Her to enjoy, her to write to me :
Envy should cease, her would I love alone :
Who loves by looks, is seldom true to one.
Could I enchant, and that it lawful were,
Her would I charm softly that none should hear.
But love enforced rarely yeilds firm content ;
So would I love that neither should repent. "
He looked at the healer's daughter as he sang the song.

The fat one cooed, and the Healer's daughter smiled, and turned her head away to the left.
"You sing very well master bard, what is your name," she asks, after a time.

Lysaer bowed gracefully.
"I am Master Lysaer Nayce, my lady. Would you do me the honor of telling me your own and your companions names?"

"I'm Nialla, this is Eustaya," She gestures at the fat one, "And Murcilla," she says gesturing to the other girl, who, up close, has a certain equine appearance.

Lysaer gave the three women a smile, though he let his eyes stay a little longer upon Nialla.
"It's a honor to make your acquaintance, my ladies. So what brings you to the rose market this morning? I am sure that you ladies already has a lot of roses at home from every kind of admirers."

Eustaya made some ridiculous cow noise that was probably intended to be inticing. Murcilla laughed and shook her head, and Nialla just smiled.
"Yes..., my fiance brings me roses all the time," She says pointedly, "But it is still nice to look. And no place in Braavos smells better, that' is for certain."
