Synopsis[edit | edit source]
Cara is shocked to discover that Yoitha is seventy-two years old, as she appears to be in her thirties. The Dwarf regards her time drifting from one activity to another as short, despite lasting a span fourteen years. Rolairnes interrupts the conversation, who had also been eating nearby, unnoticed by the two. He professes that fourteen years is enough time to start a single trade, which speaks to the immortal nature of the half-Elf. He also adds that he hopes that Yoitha’s behavior doesn’t rub off on Cara, claiming that the Synphasia needs to make a profit or it’ll close before he makes a name for himself. Rolare is seemingly unaware of his rude behavior and is surprised when Yoitha calls him out on it. She complains that he hasn’t bothered performing for days, which has forced Joeired to refund tickets multiple times. Rolare retorts that he refuses to play until his violin’s replacement string is tuned to his liking. He plays a note for them, and is annoyed when they can’t hear the warble that only he can seemingly hear. Ignoring Rolare, Yoitha asks Cara if she came to the Synphasia Theatre to make her mark; the [Singer] claims that she just wants to make money. Secretly, the Singer is hoping to become famous and rich enough to send money to help rebuild Afiele, still feeling guilty of her part in unlocking the Tomb of Afiele for the [Necromancer] to plunder.
At Cara's first performance at the Synphasia Theatre, Joeired introduces Cara as the "Siren of Songs." Performing two songs, she is a success, with the audience demanding an encore. Cara also notes that the other acts were not designed around each other, being more akin to street performances. When it is Rolare's turn, he just stands on stage tuning his violin for twenty minutes before Joeired is forced to give the audience members a partial refund.
