She would have continued to smile even as the hecklers started to cause trouble again. Partly because Miss Light had received far more scathing criticism from her family in the past, but mainly because she saw Morgran immediately set off in the direction of the jeering. It wasn't long before the dwarf closed in and caught his quarry. And what a curious quarry it was. [CENTER][color=Black][b][i]'A kenku — loathsome creatures… yet perchance a welcome sight, for once. They be beings of one mouth and many stol’n voices. ’Tis like it acted alone.'[/i][/b][/color][/CENTER] Arkerym's observations proved prophetic. Once Morgran had dragged the kenku out of sight, there was no more heckling to be heard. Even so, Miss Light continued her act. In fact, the warlock kicked things up a notch once she was no longer dividing her attention between performing and baiting the heckles. She brought out her better dance moves, her funnier tumbles, and her finer jests. All in a bid to get the crowd laughing and cheering loud enough to drown out any potential squawks that could have drifted out of the shadows. When Morgran returned from dealing with the kenku, Miss Light went all out for a grand finale. She used her best dances and tumbles, before finally finishing off with her funniest jest. Miss Light took a bow as the crowd cheered, then called out to them when the applause died down. [color=Red]"Don't stray too far now, good folks! Lift your spirits and get up your hopes!"[/color] Miss Light declared. [color=Green]"The hour's only just begun! And now the heckler's on the run, the lake's mermaid will be back soon! To finish her song 'neath the stars and the moon!"[/color] With that said, Miss Light rejoined Morgran. [color=Yellow]"Palasha leaped into the river when she left."[/color] The half-elf said to the dwarf. [color=Blue]"If we follow the stream, we should be able to find her easily enough."[/color] [hider=OOC] Miss Light makes a Performance roll of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/29029]20[/url] to get the crowd to make some noise.
