Lucia fought the loneliness with song, as she often did. The softly sung sounds helped sooth the twisting in her heart, the sadness behind her eyes. As always her small feathered friends twittered along to her gentle straining notes. The young chicks born in the spring now sported their adult's plumage, and could flutter along with valiant attempts at flight. Sometimes the femme would find an unlucky youngling on the ground where they had fallen, these she would pick and climb into the trees to return them where they might be safe.
She was picking berries again although it might have been for futility in her intent. There was barely a space space of her cottage that she could paint now unless she began to pain over those first artistic designs; And maybe she would do such a thing if she could bring herself to do so.
The volume of her own voice did drown out the rickety cart and the tuning sounds of the old man. It was not until he began to play in earnest did her tune fade away, Lucia turned to face him. A pretty surprise lilting the blueness of her eyes wide and so purely innocent.
She had never seen such a thing as he plucked at, but the sounds were coming from the wooden contraption and they happily matched the song she had been singing. She had been paused barely a handful of seconds before she took up the tone again, lips curving into a gleeful, joyous smile,
"♫ And if I must suffer.. let me do so in sunshine. And if I must rejoice... bring to me the bright summer days. This is my wish, I have opened wide my eyes again. ♫"
The woman's hands clasped together over her heart as the lyrics twisted their way over her lips. She was absorbed by the music, by the strumming notes that came from the man's.. creation.

It was a joyous, hopeful sound. It leaped and bounded like the deer in the clearings when the rut was upon them, like the agile rabbits she hunted. The cheerful lady wove herself to and fro, swaying with the music they both made and joined together in harmonies. In times such as this Lucia could almost forget that the world held wickedness within it, all things seemed bright and pleasant.
As she swayed, her long hair did the same. Long trailing strands of pale cream, dusky twine and silvered bud danced around her as she twirled in a small circle.
Her voice rose to a sweet crescendo and even the twittering birds fell silent to listen. It was inherently obvious the joy that Lucia claimed from her music, the brightness of her soul given freedom.
The stranger smiled and tipped his hat to her, Lucia returned his smile with one that might have blinded a lesser man and dipped to curtsy.
The Amarok princess spread her inner light wherever she went, touching those who might be in most need of heartening. It was an unconscious thing, she barely even realized she brought such brilliance to the earth. Did the aurora notice that it shined so brightly?
"Thank you! I like to sing, it makes me happy." The woman smiled shyly, a faint flush coming to her pale cheeks but her blue eyes sparkled like summer's sky.
"You make good sounds too.." She mimicked his actions to make the music on his wooden thing. She laughed, a high trilling sound full of amazement.
He was an older male, she could tell that just by looking at him. His coat was beginning to fade, he was thin and from the scars she could guess he'd had a hard life. She took steps closer, brushing back long cascades of hair with her fingers, tucking it behind her ears as much as she could.
"I'm Lucia.."

"Music is happy thing, sí." Leto agreed, plucking at guitar strings gently. "Music is emotion, can change from happy to sad, always fit to how you feel. Is good to share too." As much as Leto usually cared little over how his local tongue came out, right now he did try to make some sense, to express how he felt about music to someone who clearly appreciated it just as much as the old man did.
"Un placer conocerte Lucia."
Leto replied with a small smile, "I am Leto. This is a guitar. It makes the music I cannot sing. I play it for ah... many years."

She trailed closer to the aging male, still the wonder for his amazing creation, his... guitar. His words touched something inside of herself, happy and sad emotions whirled together. Loneliness too, could fall under this canopy. As a single wolf, bereft of a pack or a mate, who's children were old enough to run by themselves. Lucia was alone for much of her time, it gnawed at her, a rat chewing away splinters.
She paused, hesitating for moments before reaching down to gently pat the neck of one of his little goats, her fingers dancing through soft fur. Then she straightened and peered at him with placid eyes,
"Yes, much sadness too." She conceded with melodic tones. She was sharing her music with this hard-gone man though. That had to mean something, that joy and happy feelings could still be had. She thought briefly of the Warrior-Man who had listened to her songs and been eased by the sounds. She had sung for him until her voice had strained and become hoarse from overuse. Then when she could sing no more, she had hummed.
He spoke something, in a language she did not understand. Her name was there and he was smiling so she could only assume it was something kindly. She smiled.
"Leto.." She spoke his name in the same vein she had the other male's, ariose and dulcet. She was close to him now, still warying though with just a small amount of uncertainty. Some did not like such strangers so close.
"Could maybe... I try..?" The thoughts of lonliness were washed away in wake of prospects at trying such a marvelous thing. Her question was quietly shy, as though probably expecting rejection, the excitement could not be hidden from her summer's breath eyes, they sparkled like diamonds in the morning sunshine. She was eminently moonstruck of this idea.
