Christine sat in her wheelchair - something the doctors had insisted she be in until she fully recovered. It was just so she didn't tax her now even more delicate body. Of course, that was a moot point when it came to her therapy sessions to get strong again - her teacher had to have been related to Riven, as he was quite the taskmaster during the training sessions at Red Fountain. She remembered finding new bruises and new muscles that hurt after sparring with him.
She slipped into a neighboring room, having wheeled in quietly and smiled at her young friend, Andros. He had been injured when his pet whatever had gotten hit by a spell and had snapped at him while under the spell. "Hey handsome," she cooed, and then stroked his dual color hair. "How you feeling?" she asked, signing.
She laughed quietly when he responded in sign that he was feeling better now that his angel was here. She quickly signed a question to him and smiled when he nodded and sat up so she could put the hearing aids in for him. She shot a quick smile and wave at his mother who was just coming in. She wheeled over to the mother and quickly brought her up to date before returning to Andros's side and signing him a question, asking him what song he wanted to hear. She rolled her eyes good naturedly at the response. It was one of the first songs she ever sang - something she sang once in private, something she used to tell Sky why she loved performing, even if he hated it.
"When I take the floor as I've often done before, I feel a change come over me... I get such a thrill... It feels like time is standing still and starlight is the only thing I see...
When it's only me and the music, I leave the world behind... When it's only me and the music I am free! I am poetry in motion... When it's only me and the music...
My heart starts to race, I go soaring into space and music is the only thing I hear...
When it's only me and the music, I leave the world behind... When it's only me and the music I am free! I am poetry in motion... When it's only me and the music..."
She smiled a rare true smile at how thrilled Andros seemed to get when he heard her sing. If only she got that reaction when she was at the club... or from Sky... She hid the sudden melancholy thought from Andros and launched into the song his mother had grown fond of.
"Music is Magic! Nothin' can compare! Everybody starts to rock when music's in the air!
Music is Magic! Music makes you whole! Music is Magic! It wraps itself around you, filling up your soul!
Music is Magic! Cuts through silence like a knife... Wondrous and mystical... Music is Magic! Somethin' of a miracle... Sweet, sweet Magic... Music is the sweet, sweet sound of love!
Music is Magic! Music sets you free... Music is Magic! It lets you see the world the way it oughtta be...
Music is Magic! Cuts through silence like a knife... Wondrous and mystical... Music is Magic! Somethin' of a miracle... Sweet, sweet Magic... Music is the sweet, sweet sound of love!
Music is Magic! Music sets you free... Music is Magic! It lets you see the world the way it oughtta be...
Music is Magic! Music makes you fly... Music is Magic! It finds you when you're low and lifts you to the sky! Music is Magic! Music is Magic!"
She blinked her eyes when Andros started to clap and had spoken in his awkward English. "She good. Right, Mr Sky?" he asked, his voice a little louder than most. The confusion quickly melted away and was replaced by embarrassment, which was accompanied by bright crimson cheeks and a quick glance away. Just how long had he been standing there?
