I've been nursing this drink for an age now, I can't get into the spirit knowing that a creature of such beauty is out there... she should be here by my side. Downing the remains of his drink and with a sudden burst of energy, Jericho leaps up onto the empty stage, grabbing another empty mug as he goes. "Friends, listen to me, I ask a favour of you all!" banging the two mugs together until a hush comes over the room, he ignores the puzzled faces and continues "I played for you all tonight, and I hope you enjoyed it..." he pauses as a few replies are shouted, some definitly from drunks now "I must confess friends, my heart wasn't in it. I know in my heart I could play one hundred times better! No, one thousand times better! I could play a tune that would make the tables and chairs themselves dance!" again he pauses as more shouts come across the room, more faces turn from puzzlement to smiles "Do it then!" a patron shouts out. "I would Sir, I would for such a fine crowd... but the reason I cannot is because there's something missing..." casually dropping the second mug he places the now empty hand over his heart and puts on a pained face "...I need a muse, an inspiration, and I know exactly what I seek." he lowers his head, still with his hand over his heart. "Spit it out then lad!" the voice of the heckler is heard again. "I've heard stories of a girl, a lady, her skin a pale green so beautiful it's as if the waves themselves washed her ashore and forgot to reclaim her! I've heard the stories, I've come here all the way from Redspar in search, but she's nowhere to be found."Again, murmers fill the room as the occupants appear to be unsure about what to do. One man holding a flagon in one hand points his finger and winds circles around his head, gesturing to his friend that the performer has lost his marbles. "I shall do you a deal, people of The Golden Toad..." he throws a quick wink at Mark who is leaning on the bar watching the spectacle "...I have no plans for the forseeable future and I love a challenge! If you help me to find her, if somebody can lead me to her or guide my way, I'll return to this Inn and play you a tune so enchanting that the gods themselves will stop to listen! Furthermore, I shall do it for free! If I can't, the drinks are from my purse for a month!" with just a slight pause, a look of excitement on his face again "WHAT DO YOU SAY MY FRIENDS?"
