Singing and Laughter
The Black Void - Episode 207

"Will you please stop that music? I would just like a quiet walk to think
about all of this" she said irritably. The bard looked taken aback by this
and halted his singing and harp playing and continued to walk in silence,
looking away from Sarah. Sarah knew she shouldn't have done this. After all, Amergin was kind enough to aid her when she needed it most. She was just stressed out by all of this confusion. "I really should I apologize" she thought to herself. "But perhaps later. Without that music, it is very peaceful." Nothing but the sounds of winding, rustling the leaves around them, the birds chirping a delightful melody, squirrels zipping past them to collect their nuts. Something odd Sarah noticed about the squirrels was that they seem fearless. The squirrels in Manhattan usually waiting until people had cleared the area before collecting nuts, but these ones just ran in front of them, through their legs, one even jumped on top of Amergin (He just walked normally as if nothing had ever happened and the squirrel departed from him almost immediately). Perhaps in this world, squirrels were used to humans and found them nothing more than a simple obstacle."Ha ha" "What was that?" she said, coming to halt and turning her head in all directions."What was m'lady?" said the bard dully. "Did you hear that? I heard a laugh. It didn't sound a thing like you."Are you sure you are feeling alright, m'lady?" said Amergin, forgetting his anguish and now looking concerned. "Ha ha ha!""There it is again!" She exclaimed. "Didn't you hear it? Amergin shook his head. "No, I heard nothing but nature's plants and creatures. Are you sure you're feeling ok" He walked over and gently touched where she had been bitten. "Perhaps the wound is confusing you. Perhaps you should get some rest." "AH HA HA!""There!" she cried, turning to a large patch of bushes to their right. "It's coming from those bushes! You can't tell me you didn't hear it?!"
