❝ 𝐎𝐇 𝐌𝐘, 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄, 𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 ? ❞ behold the crescendo of her facade : unyielding / bold. the butterfly of enigmatic flames echos within the chamber of her beating ribs. the spotlight blesses the curvature of her image, but in the place of her adoring audience stood the ruby license of one. caged bird, song bird, indeed she has always used her voice for profit. however, to reveal the prefecture of her origins — t'was something she had sooner forget. she curtains away the scripture of her alienated mirror and in its place was the performer she sooner manifest. the truth to her song must linger unanswered, and the revelation of her soul must remain untouched.

juani cygnis was a caged bird no longer, this is her veracity / her manifesto. but who was the warden in her unspoken tale —— for it was not your enemy.

"Quite." A firm, singular word (and an equally-formal nod) was Hulkenberg's response to Junah's question, though there's an undercurrent that keen Nidia eyes would note. Bluntness, it seemed, was the only way through the lump in Roussainte throat in such a moment--a lump which time in the songstress' presence had done precious little to lessen. 'Twould seem Hulkenberg's admiration for Junah went beyond respecting the blond's ethereal, almost unreal song, though at least the NIdia's amusement would spare the redhead from being lured into ramming into a rocky coast.

...at least, for now.

Even when spoken rather than sung, Junah's voice carried with it a melody most beguiling... and the lyrics of her response carried with them a glimpse into secrets too deep for Hulkenberg to fathom. Still, the view into the inner workings of the diva's heart was appreciated, a thoughtful nod a show of thoughtful consideration--ah, but there was the twist of proverbial wrist, a flick of fan vivid in the knight's mind. Unbidden, a faint crimson that echoed the brilliant hue of Hulkenberg's hair rose to her cheeks as an attempt to clear her throat only helped the barrier within shift a tad. Such was enough to allow a response, at least.

"I--" Well, to share her own past was the fair and just thing, was it not? Another attempt to clear her throat before she continued. "I, too, slipped free of my cage back when I set out to try to find the prince. Before that, even my attempt at abandoning politics to become a knight was marred by my family's interference. 'Twas not until I left the ranks of knighthood that I truly escaped the weight of the Hulkenberg's influence."

(...) Never underestimate a singer! Every song is a burden, the weight of a lifetime. I have sung a thousand songs. I've known their power my whole life.

"I must say, bugs have a rather hidden flavor that many fail to recognize due to...well it being bugs."

Some hidden depth in that some clemars even when under the church fold, had actually little money to get full course meals. especially during the winter.

Affirming nod and Hulkenberg swallowed the roasted larvae, savoring its meaty flavor. It wouldn't do to respond with her mouth full, after all--even if she was pleased at the Crier enjoying the fare rather than commenting negatively about it.
