heaven: pre-opening
Welcome to the opening of the newly remodelled bar, now a proper tavern with a full restaurant! Basilio and Fidelio are both dressed up nicely for the occasion and happy to greet you! Eupha and Yves get to be seated and place their orders first as the VIPs of the day, followed by Jiaoqiu and Taair. Enjoy the best cooking Euchronia has to offer!
Sometime after everyone has their food, Fidelio will go to the stage and pick up the microphone to sing a song — he's no Tony Bennett, but he has a nice voice and puts a lot of feeling into it (though he'll get a little pink and turn the other way if you look at him too long, stop that).

The kitchen-- the one at the mansion's real nice, but it's nice to have somewhere to cook like this, with all the atmosphere and stuff.

[ just. radiating joy as he takes the honey cake....! it looks like a convallaria cake uwah ]
Taverns are a big part of life, at home. I've only ever been to the one - but, perhaps now I must be biased and say this one is my favorite.
no subject
[ i mean, taair's probably eaten his food already but it's different in a tavern! ]
Still. We've got some pretty good entertainment, I reckon. [ looks over at fidelio singing away on the stage. enjoy this everyone, it's a rare event. ] It's an open stage too, so anyone can go up there. [ ... ] We were gonna ask Elysia if she'd want to sing, but--
[ well. they know how the weekend went. ]
no subject
but yes!! he also looks fondly over at fidelio singing. look at him go. as it turns out i think most of the people in this bar are going to be embarrassing him. ]
I think so too. [ hehe.
though, ah... the part with elysia gets his face to soften a little, sadder, and he nudges at basilio gently with his shoulder. ]
All the better to sing our hearts out to remember her by, then. Just like she'd want. Right?
no subject
Yeah.
Del's already got a head start on that one. [ i have zero idea if bas can actually sing but i'll like. have him sing when there's less people around and it's not the first opening of their little tavern. ] He'd probably sing a request, if you asked him nicely enough. Or, uh... maybe.
[ he nods at the last bit then. ]
When they figure out how to get the injured souls back, she can have first dibs on the stage.
no subject
[ leaning in a little and lowering his voice: ] What should I ask for?
no subject
[ leans in and also lowers his voice: ] Ask him to sing somethin' he really likes for you. Like a lesson in good music.
no subject
Something he likes... well, alright - do you think he'll agree....?
no subject
If y'ask nicely, I don't see why not. He's just embarrassed.
no subject
Why - there's nothing to be embarrassed about! He sounds very lovely. Alright! I'll ask. You can count on me.
no subject
Yeah, but he don't do it often. I reckon he gets stage fright? Or somethin' like that. Had to really plead with him to sing today too.
no subject
...Is he looking? Can we put these down now?
no subject
[ peers over the top of the placemat to see if del is looking ]

RADIATES PROUD EMOTIONS VERY AGGRESSIVELY ]
no subject
[ clasps hands together immediately and gives off the emotion of animal crossing flowers (and a little bit of mischief) (caught) ]
Would you be willing to take a request, perhaps?
no subject
meanwhile his emotions are kind of pleased but also very self conscious ]
Er... maybe? Just— not sure I'll know it, I mean.
no subject
[ he can feel the self consciousness - there's a genuine encouraging warmth in his own in return, smiling at him. ]
...Truthfully, I don't much have knowledge of music. I've not had many chances to experience it, outside of hymnals and the like. So... I was wondering if I could ask you to sing a song that you really like - I'd like to hear it. Please?
no subject
...Well. Don't have any background music for it, so I don't know how good it'll actually sound, but. S'pose I can try one of Lady Junah's songs.
[ he picks the microphone back up, and after a moment of hesitation and a deep breath, sings as good of a solo a capella rendition of this song as he can manage.
if anyone in this room actually knows how to read music they might notice that the music notes on his halo match up perfectly with the first few measures of this song he's singing. ]
no subject
like i imagine the rest of the group is, taair listens, enraptured - fidelio has his whole attention, resting his chin in his hand. about halfway through, he does close his eyes, and his head bobs a little in time with the acapella rendition, just... enjoying it.
and by the end - he claps, of course, his emotions warm and bright. interest, fascination, pure, warm joy and a little pride? you did it! ]
That was beautiful.
no subject
Ah... Well, I mean, it's Lady Junah's song, so...
[ she should be the one to get the credit, probably??
...still, it's nice to hear, and his face gets a little pinker as he steps away from the stage, rubbing his neck. ]
...But thanks. Glad you liked it.
no subject
:D :D :D :D that’s lady junah’s song. ]
no subject
[ cute... the fondness for junah is so charming and cute too, and taair props his chin in his hands, delighted - and even more so, when he takes the compliment! yay. just pinging happiness emotions! he will not embarrass fidelio too much more after that though, even if it is very genuine, and instead just flashes him a warm smile.
that and, of course, he nudges out the seat beside him and pushes a water over, then pats the seat. come, sit! ]
If you're ready for a well deserved break, will you come sit with me?
