"My friends just call me Corrin, Tressa." Corrin replies with a smile. "Now then, let's see...I'll just do the first verse and then the third, that's my personal favourite; should be enough to help you get an ear for the song." A small crowd has gathered; other people have picked up that the exhibition's host is going to perform a song.
Corrin clears her throat, closes her eyes, and takes a deep breath. Then, opening them, she begins.
You are the ocean's grey waves, destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time, the path is your's to climb
There's a small smattering of applause; Corrin is obviously not a trained singer, but she can at least carry the tune, and her voice is pleasant enough to listen to. She then skips the second verse, entirely, as it's her least favourite and goes right to the third.
Embrace the dark You call a home Gaze upon an empty white throne A legacy of lies A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate the black pillar cracks beneath its weight Night breaks through the day Hard as a stone Lost in thoughts, all alone.
The lyrics hardly sound reassuring, but Corrin sings it well enough and with a bit more gusto than the first verse; this time there's more applause as she finishes up, and then hands the paper back to Tressa. "There. Think you can manage it?" She asks, noting out of the corner of her eye some of the other bystanders are now picking up their own copies. She can't help but smile a little at that; she thinks maybe Azura would have appreciated it.
Miss you, sister, wherever you are. She thinks sadly, though this isn't reflected in the pleasant expression she's giving Tressa.

Corrin clears her throat, closes her eyes, and takes a deep breath. Then, opening them, she begins.
You are the ocean's grey waves,
destined to seek
life beyond the shore,
just out of reach

flowing like time,
the path is your's to climb

Embrace the dark
You call a home
Gaze upon an empty white throne
A legacy of lies
A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song
of conquest and fate
the black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day
Hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts, all alone.
