The evening ends with a lovely movie
As they depart the community kitchen and gathering area, 2 and 4 foots
smile at the movie night, some staying to put away the screens and help the Elder get back with her rocking chair. Those who need to be back early to cook breakfast depart. Younglings stay for a bit and do the communal dishes. They make light work of it. The Bamboo master sticks around, pretending to prevent mayhem (and maybe he does) but really, he just likes to watch them make play with a simple needed chore of the village. As they finish, a young Kittah, older than most and ready to apprentice comes up with a small bamboo flute. 'Hello Master, my name is Thanh. Do you think I can learn Bamboo?' He looks. She is a cloud of soft orange and white with dark orange whiskers offsetting a perfect pink nose. Her name means 'A young voice'. He has heard her sing and she shows promise. As she hands over her selfmade flute of bamboo, she explains she didn't know how to get all the holes 'just right' but most of them are. He finds it looks very well made for an apprentice and tries it. She winces at a few of the notes but he can barely tell anything is off. Musing, she must have a perfect ear too. 'Yes Thanh, I will be graced to teach you. I will also talk to my sister 4 villages away who makes instruments for the bardic school as I believe your final calling lays at one or the other.' She beams a lovely smile and scampers off being assured they will start after the Ball. Night settles as they close up, banking any fires for the morning. |
