Venna flashed a charming grin as she noticed that she had caught the Barkeep's attention, though he looked rather distraught and worn down. "No need to frown or concern yourself, good sir. I only request a large cup of water." She looked down at the handful of coins she placed on the counter, then back to the man, "And don't worry, I know water is free, those are for the time you allow me to stay here and perform in your establishment." She chimed. "I appreciate your crew, and an opportunity for business." She bowed her head, her eyes subtly wandering and scanning before she lifted it back up. There was a change in the air of the place, a shift in the mood. After she had waited for the man's response and replied accordingly, she politely ended her conversation with him and stood from her seat, walking yo a rough middle ground between the group of characters that had caught her interest as she played her song, and even after.
"Alright," she began, gesturing to the group to lend their attention to her for but a moment with small hands. "It seems to me that we all seek something. In my experience, it seems like, it can prove to be more beneficial to join together in a group." She turned towards the traitor elf, "I have travelled to many lands in this world, but something most people seem to have in common is a distaste for that mark you bear. Why not travel in a group to aid you in whatever it is you desire, perhaps share your story or redeem yourself, maybe even something completely unrelated, what matter is it?" She turned to the princess, "With all due respect, mi'lady" she courtseyed respectfully, only without a dress or skirt to hold on to, "You're away from the comfort of your castle and on your own seeking things you would only receive there in a run down inn such as this one for a reason. Judging by the reasoning behind that and the awkward demeanor tucked within, I can only imagine you seek something as well, even if just to prove a point. It seems that you're also accepted in this small party before you. Why not band together and receive even more than you're looking for?" Her gaze traveled to the marked elf, "You hold a mark I've seen in the past, and as every sort of mark in this land goes, some don't know or care, some will welcome you with open arms, and some will even try to kill you. Why not have some excitement in the way with even a small group who will experience triumph together and help you on your quest?" The older knight was next, "The armor you wear, proudly I'm sure considering you still wear it, has seen better and cleaner days. As a knight, don't you seek adventure? Justice? A cause?" Her hand motioned to the sword on his person, "When was the last time that wonderful weapon got to see anything outside of its sheath?" She then turned to the poor kanine that seemed to hide and shy away, "And what would a group be without a precious, beloved companion." She let out a soft sigh, scanning over the entire group.
"I also seek things myself. My point is, why not? I will tell you that I would love to see adventure and battle, solve puzzles, and help wherever possible with each and every one of you, not despite each of your standings and differences, but because of them. Imagine the tales that could come of it!" She smiled before she continued on, "I feel I've taken up enough of your time and attention." She gestured her hand with the locations she named, "I will either remain here, or upstairs, last room on the left in the first hall. I would love to speak with you if any of you at all, even just one, desires to." She took a low bow before returning to her seat to retrieve the water that hopefully waited for her return. "I thank all of you for your time." She finished, sitting down and folding one leg softly over the other.
