"Tom is in that music shop again?"
"Yup, learning instrument stuff"
Tord heard through his dream he had that night.
The memories of the past won't stop haunting him, truthfully Tord is tired of that.
Though he does suspect it will only end with the last of those old days
Todays morning routine wasn't different from any other
Tord woke up by some maids , went down to eat , studied with teachers
Oh except Tom was there all day ,the interesting thing is that the knight seemed completely normal not like he found his favorite thing to do yesterday.
How was he so good at hiding that? Tord himself felt like rushing there almost incapable of holding back, then how Tom could?
The day continued without a single word out of the blue knight
The prince broke and excused himself to the bathroom only to sneak into the old room full of instruments... truth to be told Tord had zero experience with instruments although he absolutely loved music and just the look of all the instruments that sat there capable of making such beautiful sounds and melodies
It thrilled him to say the least...
Why didn't it affect him until now? You might say the room is supposed to be out of limits, it's used by the musicians when they want to reprise before their performance. Tom too changed the prince mind seeing a rather irritated or annoyed knight change to a more cheerful version made him want to know why.
In the room Tord noticed an old guitar laying deep in the sea of instruments.
The prince was interested in the guitar since that what the knight seemed to favor.
"I help out at an instrument shop such as carry stuff around, in return the seller teaches me how to play!"
"No money?"  "No money"
And so the horned prince took the guitar gently and tried to play...
Ugh! It sounds awful
The red male thought as he failed to play over and over again
Meanwhile not afar from the room the eyeless fam arrived
Honestly the knight was looking for the prince since moments before Edd was panicking over the missing royalty.
As he got closer he could hear his precious instrument being badly played
However the knight wasn't mad, the contrary actually - Tom chuckled at the poor try of the prince to make music with the guitar
That and well...the guitar wasn't truly his.
A few moments pass with an upset prince and Tom decides it was time to interrupt
Tom gently opens the door finding at the floor the guitar at hand and an apparent red faced prince holding it tight
The sight was too much for Tom as he instantly bursted into laughter
"It's-it's not funny!" The prince persisted "just like how I'm a cow" Tom comments between laughs
"You said you wouldn't play so I just thought to give it a try! I mean if you can it can't be that hard to play!" Tord protested
Tom's laughter died down joining the prince on the floor "I said maybe princess" he then retorted
"Also I declare I had no idea you wanted to hear it so badly"Tom continued teasing "just shut it already " the prince scowled irascibly
"No no ,I'm serious! Here hand it over and I shall play you a song I can recall, although I warn you princess, I might be a little dusty after all this years"
Tord wasn't certain he could trust the knight not to tease around instead.
Nevertheless he didn't have much of a choice therefore Tord hesitantly hand over the guitar. "But I do need something in return " Tom added snatching the guitar out of the prince arms
I knew it would happen
"What do you wish for?" Tord asked annoyed "hmmm well if I play then... you'd sing" the knight finished "wha- I do not sing!"
"You yourself said you'd join" Tom repeated "I said I might! And in any case I was completely sarcastic!"
"Fine then , good luck finding a way to play it yourself " Tom mocked
"Alright alright! I'll do it! But my voice is poor so don't cry if blood comes out of your ears" Tord said hoping it'll make the knight reto- "fine by me"
Never mind
"The song is one the townsfolk used to sing a lot back when you were there, nonetheless I wouldn't be surprised if you wouldn't be able to remember, it was a long time ago " Tom commented as he tuned the guitar
Tord didn't bother responding in addition Tord was too busy wondering of Tom's skill and the music in general but when the blue man started all thoughts seemed to be immediately erased from Tord's brain
(Not gonna put the lyrics sorry just too lazy)
Tord did recognize the song!
Tord was relaxing in the grass with the others up the hill also known as the group's hideout
"What are this poor people doing?" Tord questioned eyeing the ruined houses empty and people gathered around a small group of wanderers
He could also hear music coming from there
"Singing" Tom stated "oh oh can we join them?" Edd suggested "please? Wanderers don't come by everyday " The others sighed in defeat
"Alright let's do this!"
soon enough Tord joined in to the chorus being played by Tom, while closing his eyes and enjoying the music. Sinking in the sea of the old memory where they danced along the folks while listening to the singers
Tom unconsciously sang along as well, only his eyes glancing at the prince whose voice was apparently far beyond glorious.
Both a little pouncing with the beat.
"Why do you work so hard for so little?"
"My dream is to be a wanderer poet "
How that dream came out...
