#DnDMusic #BardSong #TavernMusic There is one rule at this table, and the tabaxi has stated it clearly: hands where she can see them. She is a warrior. She has gutted things considerably larger than whatever you were planning. She is absolutely, categorically not a house cat. This original D&D bard song is a sly medieval tavern song about the exact moment a dangerous adventurer sits down and negotiates the terms of her own surrender — not the head, behind the ear, once, briefly, and nobody at this table ever speaks of it again. A celtic folk song for every party with one member who insists they don't want the thing they are very obviously enjoying. 🎧 More bard songs on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2mpNdXU4kg1tFpovnK1LMN 🍺 The Bard speaks... "She set the terms herself. Not the head. Behind the ear. Once. Then she closed her eyes and called it tactical.

I am warning you. Once. You have got that look about you, that soft and hopeful hand. I have gutted something larger than the thing that you have planned. I am a warrior, not a lap. I am a blade with better hearing. So put it down, put it down— no, I saw that. I saw you steering. Do not pet me. Do not try it. I have got a reputation. Keep it quiet. I am dangerous, I am dignified, I am nobody's little pet— so take your hand back now, before we both regret. Terms. We are doing terms now. Not the head. Never the head. The head is for my enemies. Behind the ear. Once. Briefly. And we never speak of this— not to the cleric, not the bard, because the bard writes things down. Do not pet me. Do not try it. I have got a reputation. Keep it quiet. I am dangerous, I am dignified, and you are in my debt— so take your hand back, take it back... you have not taken it yet. That was one. That was clearly one. Do not count it out loud. A number turns into a habit. That was a treaty, not a yes. Yes, my eyes are closed. That is tactical. And nobody ever asked to, not before this table, not this year. I said no because no was the one thing nobody could take off me. Do you hear? Take it, then. Take my dignity. It is yours. Scratch there. No — there. You know where. I am leaning. I am aware that I am leaning. The paladin has set her drink down. So do it like you mean it. I have been a blade so long I forgot that I could be held. You are the first to ask me twice after I said no. So — quietly: Do not pet me. Do not — do not — I have got a reputation. I forgot. I am dangerous, I am dignified, I am melting where I sit— so do not stop me, do not stop me, do not stop. That is it. Do not tell them. Do not tell them. Do not tell them what you saw. Just your hand. Just there. Just keep it. Do not stop. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Songs of a Bard is a fireside corner of the fantasy world.
