CHULANE
So lost in his thoughts, the book in his hands blurring before his weary eyes, he almost didn't notice the tune when it began. It was a gentle tune, luring and haunting; fitting for a library setting. It almost lured him to the world of slumber, letting the twitchy, anxious energies that plagued him drip away into the plush seat beneath him.
Then, with far less subtlety than when it began, it ended, a definitive plink resounding as the strings bounced together with far less harmony, and a vocal note that certainly wasn't a lyric swiftly following. He was awake again, the book in his hands closed, a deep chuckle rumbling up from his chest, echoing through the library.
With a slow, stretching movement, he rose, returning the book to its place on the shelf, and casting his gaze out over the great room to identify the source of the song that was so abruptly broken. Spying the culprit, bow and fiddle in hand, he offered a small frown of concern as he approached.
"Sorry to hear the tune end. Do you have a string to replace the broken one?" He gestured to the instrument, spying the frayed string with a sad quirk of his mouth, hmming softly.
