[Jherek Doryn]

"I see. Tell me, Aalina, do you dance?"

[Viea Greyjoy]

"That is one of the subjects that I teach." She said. "As I was taught to in the Sept."

[Jherek Doryn]

"I never knew that they taught dancing in the Sept... Would you like to learn something from me? Music, perhaps?"
His eyes twinkle slightly.

[Viea Greyjoy]

"How would we be able to teach the young girls of the realm to become ladies if we couldnt teach to dance?" Aalina said.

[Jherek Doryn]

"You make a good point. You have not answered my question, though: would you like to learn music?"

[Viea Greyjoy]

"I know a little music, I play the harp."

[Jherek Doryn]

The bard's face lights up.
"Then perhaps a brief duet before you have to teach the girls?"
He lifts a rectangular wooden case, approximately 3 feet by 1 foot from the floor beside his chair, and opens it, revealing a small harp as magnificently crafted as his flute and lute, with the wooden parts being embossed in gold with swords and horses.

[Viea Greyjoy]

Aalina laughed and shook her head.

"Before I teach the girls I take them to the sept, you are welcome to join us if you wish."

[Jherek Doryn]

Jherek closes the case and smiles, slipping it into one of the innermost pockets of his vast jacket and his flute case up one of his voluminous sleeves.
"Aalina, I would be honored."

[Viea Greyjoy]

Aalina chuckled.

"Do you follow the Seven?"

[Jherek Doryn]

"I respect the views of all of them, but only truly follow one: The Maiden."

[Viea Greyjoy]

"Innocence and Pleasure in Life." Aalina said, "Unusual for a man to follow the Maiden."

[Jherek Doryn]

"Not so much Innocence and Pleasure in life, but Love and Joy. I believe that the Maiden embodies that which every human being should strive for, and that which we hope to find one day. For some of us, we find love more than once, and for some of us never at all."

[Viea Greyjoy]

Aalina smiled slightly.

"Words that not alot of men say. For those of us who are dedicated to the Maiden the words are true, if you look into the Maiden deeply."

[Jherek Doryn]

Jherek shrugged and continued alongside Aalina.
"I was told that I've always been kind in nature, even though some things I have done in the past suggest otherwise. The maiden seemed the best option for one of my viewpoints. I am always striving to find that one person, even though I never settle in a place long enough to find them."
