The sound of music wafted through the empty tavern of the guild. Or at least mostly empty. There were a few people here and there. Some enjoying the music and others completely unconcious from intoxication. Yet it was not to these that the player of the music was paying attention. In truth, he was not really paying attention to anyone at all. He was merely standing in the room a cane at his lips playing tunes of such rare beauty they could make a stone statue weep. Or at least that was how it began. Soon after he began playing he dropped the cane down to the ground level and began to tap the ground rapidly to the same tune as he began to dance whilst drinking a drink of alcohol.
He smiled to himself and sat down on a chair still tapping his foot to a tune that now only he could hear. Rhythmic movements and music were almost built into his very nature. Or at least they were when he was not being serious. He had nothing to focus his attentions on recently as inspiration for new inventions had not been striking him and his company was expanding nicely. He had joined the guild as a diversion and to use its resources and members to help him further expand by eliminating competition and discovering rare resources. Of course, he hadn't told them all that. It was a fool who revealed all his cards straight away.
"Boredom is rather irritating." he said in his usual melodious almost hypnotic tones.
