Hester
I've told you time and time again
Despite her attempts at awareness, someone still manages to get the drop on her. Though, it's not exactly a complaint, more a laugh, at her expense. Hester huffs, assuming the disembodied voice is glad that she hadn't had the chance to get started, but jokes on them. She sits, setting the fiddle across her lap and reaching into it's case, searching for her spare strings.
Her head pops up just in time for her heart to leap out of her throat, a man suddenly far closer to her than she'd expected. She jumps, dropping her little bag of strings, and lets out another quiet curse, before wincing and looking up at the stranger, an automatic "Sorry." falling from her lips, just as she parses the question she's been asked. "Of course I do. And if you have any requests for when I've got it all back together, feel free to make them. I'll play anything for someone not telling me to stop."
The words come with a bright grin, though she worries belatedly that she might be being a bit too intense for the man. He looks wrung out, exhausted, unused to making his own days and nights in the deep freeze of Longnight. Another sign of an Outlander, though his voice, his strange accent had already outed him as such.

You sing the words, but don't know what it means
