Ai's face dropped slightly at the blatant dismissal of her hand. –Rude much?- She managed to recover, running the ignored hand through her hair before giving a short, polite bow of thanks to Daniel.
“Thanks so much, Daniel, I truly appreciate this opportunity.”
She gave a nod to Kadaj, bustling forward toward the trees and mentally going through the song once more. “Feel free to sit or stand… not that there’s really any where to sit.” Ai let out a small titter, rolling her eyes. She cleared her throat and made a series of small prep noises before closing her eyes and delving into her song.
“Every time
Every time it gets worse and I’m not sure how much longer I can handle this
I’ve loved you in secret for so long that I sometimes wonder if it’s only a whisper in your memory now.”
Ai didn’t need instruments or fancy lights to convey her feelings through her singing. Whomever she was singing about she loved deeply, needed. And so these feelings passed onto her audience, whether in full force or a small tugging from within. Perhaps Ai should have offered a warning about her abilities, but she didn’t want to scare them off; Kadaj was already fully aware of her “powers.” Ai finished the song off with,
“and yet I know that you know but denial is a fear of mine doubt
When is it my turn to wrap my heart up in brown paper packaging and FedEx it your way?
and pray to every God in existence that you won’t cut it into paper snowflakes but that you’ll mold it into your own
Every time.”
When Ai had finsihed, she slowly opened her eyes and awaited their reactions.
[[ Just an FYI in case you don't know, Ai's "power" consists of her abilty to transfer whatever she's feeling unto her audience. I.E. If she's pissed, they riot. Sooo since this is a love ballad, and I wouldn't dream of God-Moding, I just wanted to let you know so your characters react appropriately. ^_^ Oh, yes, and the lyrics/poem are my own work, so copyright fakeness? XD! ]]
