Lenne smiled, but the sadness behind her eyes wasn't as veiled as she meant it to be. Yes, she'd had quite the following, indeed. Did she sing for anyone? Oh, yes.
She laughed softly, looking gently into Tifa's eyes. "I do, I suppose. Long lost love, if you will," she laughed again, just as sadly as her eyes smiled. Love found, and lost, then found, then lost just as swiftly.
"It is my profession to sing, but there is a part of my soul that dies if I do not express it through song. So I suppose I sing just as much for myself as..." she trailed off, motioning with her hands to try to convey what she couldn't say, unwilling to mention Shuyin by name. She'd been doing so well moving on without him, trying not to hope too hard that he might return some day.
"As selfish as that sounds..." she tried to cover the soft crack in her voice, then laughed again, her last defense, shaking her head to try to clear her thoughts. She was going to be happy. He would want that for her.
