[ Whatever Bucky's planning on doing, she trusts him, and so she lets him go without another word. Alysia finds a place by the fire to begin playing the lute, going through several songs. Some are somber in tone, others gentle and whimsical. Others, still, are ballads, and Alysia sings tales at times to keep her audience captured. All the while, some of her attention is on the table of gentlemen making deals.
What Bucky will overhear is talk of the movements of knights headed toward Draichurith, and the storm brewing that could bring war. But he will also overhear more sightings of 'Flaws' in the streets, a gaggle of them that are bringing trouble where they go. People like Bucky and Alysia. The men never openly acknowledge either one of them being in the tavern, thankfully, but no knight is there for drinks this night. They are lucky.
The crowd mostly likes 'Sorcha', the bard alias she's been using in taverns, a woman with hair tightly wound up to give the appearance of her hair being shorter, even curled, than how Alysia wears hers. Little things that give Sorcha an identity beyond Alysia, something that will make her memorable and untraceable back to the real woman behind the mask. She's given quite a few coppers throughout the night, deposited in the pouch she leaves out. A group of two men eye it often and Bucky will notice that it's become obvious that they're contemplating making a move to grab it before 'Sorcha' goes home for the evening. ]
