Dialogue
Daytime
- Ziryab: "Fresh breeze in the night" or "Fresh night breeze"? How about just "Night breeze"?
What are you doing?
- Ziryab: I'm pulling my hair out on how to win her heart.
- Ziryab: "Fresh breeze in the night" has too much emphasis on time, when I think about her day and night.
- Ziryab: On the other hand, "Fresh night breeze" sounds rather cliche, like a line in a child's fairytale.
- Ziryab: But just "Night breeze" would save more room for more serenade.
- Ziryab: But the people in the square discussing the candidates for the next Grand Conservator are messing up my thoughts. If only I could have a quieter place to think.
- How about indoors?
- Ziryab: Tried it, didn't work.
- Ziryab: You got either couples flirting, or someone pushing fliers on choir, card games, cross country, and other events on you in the study.
- Ziryab: I could have just stayed in the dorm room, but my dumb roommate tried to make hotpot with a prototype burner...
- Ziryab: I won't go into details, except the room is still full of smoke.
- Ziryab: I don't trust myself to write anything Hana will appreciate in that condition.
- The next Grand Conservator?
- Ziryab: Yes, the current Grand Conservator announced a few days ago that he was going to retire, and the next Grand Conservator needs to be voted in by the sages.
- Ziryab: Practically everyone is talking about this. Didn't you hear them chattering about it?
- Ziryab: Something about Vikram of the Vahumana being good with people, and Rifaet of the Haravatat being incredibly intellectual. Stuff like that...
- Ziryab: I think there're even fan clubs of some sorts that've been set up by some students. From what I see, there's too little schoolwork.
- Ziryab: Hana's better. She doesn't care about these mundane things.
- Sorry to disturb...
- Ziryab: "Night breeze"... "Be my words"...
Nighttime
- Ziryab: Ahem... "Melodious night breeze, be my words, express the daylight delights"...
- Hana: ?
- Ziryab: "Here I stand in the wind, just to hear your gentle sing-along."
- Ziryab: What do you think of that?
- Hana: What do I think of what?
- Ziryab: The lovely poem I just composed. How does it make you feel?
- Hana: Is this... for your literature class?
- Hana: I'm sorry, I don't quite get it...
- Ziryab: That's okay, just listen closely...
