[Alicent Feyther]

Alicent manages to leverage her memory to charm everyone around her, and even manages not to trip over her own two feet during the dance. All in all, it's a surprisingly successful evening.

[Mariessa Tremaine]

Mari, rather shyly, is suddenly pushed to sing. She hadn't done so since before mother's madness had started to become a real problem in the home, but she remembered it being one of the lessons she greatly enjoyed with her mother. And so, to some surprise, the Tremaine heir seemed to have quite the pleasant voice - with ease weaving through the melodies that were played.

As the music quieted down, giving the musicians some rest, Mari at least was able to thank them for having given her the opportunity. She had found herself rather enjoying the moment, as it had reminded her of happier times with her mother to sing like that again. She just hadn't had the heart to do it recently, feeling that it might bring back sad memories for her father, but she hoped he had enjoyed it too.

And as the music began again, bringing everyone up to dance, the Tremaine heir didn't step on any toes, but managed to show off her lady-talents properly as she joined in the fun.

[Marten Tremaine]

Marten's voice was a bit rusty, but the old song that he joined in on suited him well. He sang more strongly as the song progressed.

In the end, his singing was fine. And he thanked the musicians appropriately.

It was in the dancing, however, that Marten really showed his abilities. Marten couldn't help but smile as he moved with elegant grace across the dance floor, the expression seeming to make the years fall away from him.

[Jynessa Tremaine]

Jynessa looked to her sister's performance and gulped. She took her place next and sang out a less impressive, but still pleasing, verse of her own. She maintained her pleasant demeanor with her applause for the rest of the guests and displayed a high exuberance for her father's performance.

When it came to dancing, her attention was clearly elsewhere as she took her steps. There were a few toes that were casualties of her carelessness.

[Terrance Stone]

Terrance found himself humming along with a familiar tune and then found himself pushed forward, apparently to sing it. He looked about, but saw no escape and relented to the prodding from the musicians.

"The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
The wind through it playing has language for me.
When over its branches the sunlight is breaking,
A host of kind faces is smiling on me.
The friends of my childhood again are before me
Each step wakes a memory as freely I roam.
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o’er me
The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home.

Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
When twilight is fading I pensively rove
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove.
‘Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing
I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing
But then little thought I how soon we should part.

My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness;
No dream of the future my spirit can cheer.
I only can brood on the past and its brightness
The dear ones I long for again gather here.
From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me;
I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome,
And others are there, looking downward to greet me
The ash grove, the ash grove, again is my home."

Taking his seat, he managed to sit and properly appreciate the real performance without humming along again, or tapping his foot. And then, the dancing began. He wasn't familiar with the more formal sequences, but he had fun with the livelier tunes.

[Leovall Marten]

Leovall's efforts were sound, if slightly inelegant. He could just about remember all the words and hold a tune. Still, that was enough. Fortunately, his footwork and dancing was impeccable. Thank you mother.
