The music began to fade, and as the final cheerful notes dissolved into the warm afternoon air...Fauna's movements slowed.
She finished with a graceful little spin, her golden hair swirling like a halo before she came to a stop, clasping her hands in front of her and smiling at the crowd.
"Okay, everyone!" She said sweetly, voice carrying across the terrace. "That's all for today's session, which means—"
Before she could finish, a loud, chaotic chorus erupted from the crowd.
"Please, Lady Fauna, don't go!" Someone cried from the front row.
"Stay a little longer!" Shouted another.
In an instant, the entire crowd erupted.
"Please, Lady Fauna!"
"Just one more song!"
"You can't leave now!"
The sound of their collective begging echoed through the rooftop, like a wave of desperate affection.
