I managed to get a slot on the list last night to perform my new dance in the great hall. I know I do well with my instruments, but I really wanted to try out a new dance routine that came to me last week. Unfortunately I don't think I quite had a read on the crowd here. It was a little slow in pace and, well, more influenced by my thoughts and feelings, I'm thinking they may prefer something a little more upbeat and fashionable.
I'd been hoping to have some spare time to check out the stables. I heard a job is going and I want to try my hand at some means of land transportation. I do have a soft spot for animals, they have much simpler lives than us humans, it's relaxing being around them. Thinking about it reminds me of when I covered more miles swimming with that dolphin pod than I spent on the Keladina between Port Manith and Port Jesper. We had a great crew, but yet I never met anyone like me. Pa said I was a lucky omen on our ship, but sometimes I did feel more at home in the water. The sense of freedom and movement I felt, the expanse of the ocean, it definitely felt part of my calling to express myself through movement too. I'm hoping one day I'll find an audience keen to watch me perform in water. I've been practicing my water magic, and I can now create 20 gallons of water if I concentrate. I use it in my shows, of course, a bit like circus poi performers, but it would be amazing if I could create enough to dance inside. I might try my dance routine again tonight with a slightly different twist and then visit the stables next week, I've got enough to cover costs for now. Here's hoping I manage to win the crowd over. Shame I'm not able to make money performing to the horses! They might be more appreciative.
