A bit taken aback, realization nonetheless quickly settled in as he watched Rena dip her finger into the water. From her reaction it was in fact just water, and he scratched the back of his head as he took another sip. He couldn’t really fault her for checking because even if it made no real sense to him, the strange being could have poisoned him for the sake of doing so; he certainly didn’t know the creature’s motivations or thoughts. His attention was drawn to the being as it flourished its baton once more, curious as to what would happen next.

His eyes widened at the gentle, yet invigorating, notes that filled the air until the joined and mixed together to form a song. It was probably a bit cliche to say that the music resonated with his soul, but Valair found that pretty much summed up what he felt. The music was more than just pleasant to hear and what pain lingered was slowly brushed aside as the song progressed. The urge to simply close his eyes was strong, but with a small frown he brought the glass back to his lips and sipped, distracting himself from the music with the small action.

Only when the song came to an end did he move the glass and set it on the ground next to him. Hands free, he gave a short clap of applause for the performance. “So you are,” he murmured, reading the card, before he slowly stood up. The individual had done nothing to warrant such suspicion, but Valair didn’t exactly like the fact that such feelings had been pressed onto him, even if they were pleasant. Perhaps the music this creature orchestrated was simply that calming to the senses and mind, but even that was something to be wary of. 

Yet when the Musician pointed towards the road, Valair looked to the others and shrugged. It wasn’t like they had any better options at the moment.
