"Venison would be very welcome," Jigano accepted Deimos's offering with a smile, more at ease with him now that Amalia was present to smooth the rough edges of their interactions. "Thank you!" He wasn't sure if the big man meant jerky or some other dried meat, but the fox in him was pleased to see the spit take shape and raw flesh hung over the flames to cook. He set his harp gently aside for a moment to bring a bottle of cider across to where the pair - and they did seem to be a pair, or at least, in the beginnings of a sweet, slow courtship - sat on their shared log.
He returned to his own spot, settling in and smiling brightly as Amalia brought her own treats by, accepting bread and tea gladly, and Isuma barreled over to claim her share of the bread as he chuckled. Their suggestions were both met with thoughtful nods as he took his time over the baked goods and then washed them down with cold cider. "New beginnings and adventures," he repeated, well-satisfied with the themes as he picked his harp back up, fingers beginning to pick at the strings with a thoughtful exploration of the notes.
"I thought we could take turns with the verses," he explained, testing first a low run of notes, then adjusting them up half an octave. "A game of words, trying to blend the meter and rhyme. I'll come up with a couplet, then toss it to Amalia, then Deimos will round out the first verse. What do you think?" He said it with a glint of challenge in his eyes, playful and a bit wicked as he found a good tune to work their lyrics into. He knew Amalia for a songstress, but Deimos was a more stoic type. He was curious to see what the big man would do when it came to rhyme and song, music and meter. "A song for Safrin, celebrating what we've found together here, and what is yet to come!"
He played the tune again to set the rhythm and then a third time to make sure Deimos and Amalia had it down before he opened his mouth, a rich, deep tenor shaping the words he found to begin their song:
"Beneath the stars and moon so bright,
We thank you, Safrin, for this night,"
What lyrics will you come up with and how will they fit in with the ones before them?
