Maidhc O Casain
Na Bith Mo Riocht Tá!
A Break in the Toasting
Béar draws a disapproving glance from several of the Bairdéir present, as well as the Queen, for his outburst. After a moment of embarassed silence, Cairn holds up his glass: "Deasaigh," he declares boldly.
The list of names comes to an end, and the song commences.
[sblock=OOC]Sorry about the rush and not giving plenty of time to respond - I'm headed to the lake until sometime Sunday and won't be able to post, so I thought I'd get the singing done before I'm off.
Scott, the ceremony and song are from Against the Odds, which series really starts with the Herris Serrano trilogy, then continues into a trilogy about Esmay Suiza (the last of which is Against the Odds). They're Space Opera, and come highly recommended by me. That ceremony actually brought a tear to my eye as I read it.[/sblock]
I'll check back when I get home for a final list of those who sang. BTW, Bill, Béar singing the song would not technically be considered singing Deasaigh home (by him), as Béar did not toast him.
