WHO: Mado and you
WHAT: where are my beloved cousins??
WHEN: whatever month this is
WHERE: the Gallows
NOTES: he's here

There's a strange man in the Gallows courtyard, a man nobody has seen before. He looks shabby, dressed in a long yellow surcoat that has seen much better days, but his face is lit with a plaintive grin as his melodic, Antivan-accented voice rings out:

"Averesk? I'm looking for Kostos, or Nikos Averesk! Have you seen them?"

It's not even entirely clear how he got here, because nobody saw him enter or leave the ferry, and this is not a person who escapes notice easily. Maybe he's a ghost. Maybe he's been living under the island this entire time.

"You there, please! I'm looking for my cousins!"

"Then I shall have to further investigate Kirkwall," he resolves, "although anyone can be won over, with the right song."

"And what song would you sing to win me over?"

[lumelume]

He thinks only for a moment, then begins to sing in Antivan, his voice a beautiful and resonant tenor.
It's clearly some kind of love song by how he takes Poesia's hand, gesturing theatrically as he bows before her, effectively demanding the attention of everyone in the vicinity.

Poesia is appropriately delighted, beaming at him. She might drop his hand to applaud, but that seems like a terrible waste.
