Gemma looked through her wardrobe of costumes and nothing looked right to her. Then at the very back she found what she was looking for. It was the gypsy costume Ally had made for her. Ally was a marvelous seamstress besides being able to come up with some of the greatest songs Gemma had ever heard, and this outfit was no exception. The silk skirt and blouse were made especially to Gemma's own figure. She quickly changed and stood before her mirror. She practiced her most seductive smile. He's not going to know what hit him.

Taure nodded and tokk his paw gently. She drifted her own paw delicately and expertly across the lines in his own paw. Hmm... Bit of a tricky one aren't you? Let's see now... Ah. I think I can see it now. judging by the length of the love and lifelines on your palm, I'd say your future looks very bright. |

"I see. Thanks for your help." It was pretty vague, but even if the practice of palm reading was real, he figured it must be hard to predict one's future very precisely, and Taure did say he was a "bit of a tricky one."

Taure nodded politely. Anytime my friend. I'm sorry I couldn't be more precise for you. Plamistry is a rather vague branch in the Seer art, and it's not really used very often becuse of it. |

Florian watched taure, wondering how a blind fox could read palms. Himself?Well he had never believed in that nonsense, and besides the future wasn't something he found himself looking forward to.
"Well afore that bloody badger queen rips off my ears I best go change as well don't you think?"
Stomping off to the performing cart he waited for Gemma to make her grand appearnece, as she always did with male badgers. Of course he never had that treatment from any har, for the msot part they wanted some cold lietenant of the long patrol not a handsome bloke like Florian with a good sense of humor and a great voice.

Gemma exited the cart. "I heard that, Flor." She gave the hare a dirty look. Then she stood back to show him her outfit. "What do you think?" She turned around. "Ally made it. You remember Ally don't you? I bet she remembers you."

"I didn't say I thing my beautiful badgeress."
Florian replied with a bow , looking up at the outfit, while he had seen it in the cart the mere flapping piece it was then held not a candle to it now. It looked exactly like the real gypsy band he had seen before he had joined up with the troupe. Distracted by the outfit he barely heard the other question.
"Oh yeah, one with the glasses, made the black pointy hat for me right? I rememb' her alright. She is quite handy with the needle."
He had found that out the hard way when she had dropped one right through his poor oot, alright so maybe he had accidentally brushed it off the table. What difference was there. Realizing he didn't have much time left Florian bounded towards the cart.

Gemma took a deep breath and smoothed her skirt out once more to make sure it was lying correctly after climbing out of the cart. She was ready. Slowly she walked back to the clearing and then she cleared her throat to announce her presence to Taure and Batou.

"Oh good. Looks like it's starting." Batou said. It was at this point that Batou realized he had no idea what Gemma did in the Troupe. "I guess I'll find out soon enough" he thought to himself.

Gemma stepped out into the firelight so that she could be seen in all her beauty of form and feature. She really didn't care what any other beasts thought of her besides Batou. Tonight she was preforming for an audience of one. She nodded in the direction of a hedgehog and an otter who were holding a stringed instrument something like a mandolin and a squeeze box, respectively. They knew which tune to play. Not one of the barrack room ballads she sometimes preformed, this was an old badger love song. The instrumentalists did a short introduction and then Gemma joined in with her sweet alto voice.
((sung to the tune of "Aura Lee" or more commonly known "Love Me Tender"))
Now the Battle's over, dear,
now the bloodwrath's through.
You come swiftly home to me.
I've been ever true.
Kept the fires burnin', love,
knew you'd come home soon,
to the one who loved you so,
neath the harvest moon.
Brock my love, come to me,
all your journeys end.
I will hold you in my arms
all your sorrows mend.
Home's where you belong my dear.
Foe beasts all have died.
Worry not of fighting more,
Stay here by my side.
Brock my love, come to me,
all your journeys end.
I will hold you in my arms,
all your sorrows mend.
Gemma had locked eyes with Batou and as she sang the last refrain she walked towards him and offered him her paw. "Come walk with me," she whispered, as the musicians continued to play. When they were finished the tumblers would take the stage and then Florian would do his number. They didn't need her to continue with the rehearsal and besides she had other things on her mind.

Moonlight stood up and applauded. "Well done, Gemma, well done." Moonlight hadn't seen much entertainment recently, but watching the badger and listening to her song made him relax more than he had for a long time, constantly on the move, fighting off raiders, and sleeping with one eye open. Moonlight throughly enjoyed the song.

(OOC: Cool song. Nice Improv)
Batou strapped his sword to his back (since he never lets it out of his sight) and took her paw. "That was a good song. Where are we going?"

Gemma waved a paw in Moonlight's direction to acknowledge his praise but her focus was still intent on Batou. "Thank you," She smiled humbly batting her eyelashes. "I just thought it might be nice to take a walk, alone, under the stars." She was slightly disappointed that her performance had not received a more rousing response from this male of her species but then again she knew almost nothing about him. Perhaps he was just more capable of hiding his emotions. One thing was for sure she wanted to get to know him better.
