The song winds down, and a newcomer approaches the table and introduces
herself as Shonias, an elf.  Khisanth welcomes her, and when the song
has come to an end, Rowan also turns to greet her.

"Yes please, have a seat," she says, smiling gently.  "I am always
flattered when someone pays compliment to my music.  I was taught by
someone very skilled."

She then turns to Cragin, who had been playing also.  "YOU are quite
skilled as well," she tells him.  "Where did you say you learned?  Your
style seems somewhat familiar, perhaps.  I'm not certain..."

Rowan then glances at Scar.  He notices that she seems to have been
completely unaffected by his appearance.  If it ever startled her, she
didn't show it.  She looks at him curiously.  "Did you say that you used
to play an instrument?"  She smiles.  "I saw your fingers moving in time
with the music."

Finally, she looks toward the mage, Kalere, who has been silent for
quite awhile.  She wonders whether all mages are so mysterious.
Suddenly it occurs to her, there might be something that Kalere can help
her with.  If only she knew whether or not he might be trusted....
