It barely occured to Faeylinn to be concerned about something watching her from the shadows that she could not identify but seemed to be able to project it's thoughts- and even emotions to some extent- to her mind. Instead she found herself becoming more comfortable with the prescence, she hadn't had an audience for a while since the old band broke up. She began to play another song, singing along with it softly. Somehow the lyrics to Imaginary by Evanescence seemed fitting for the past couple days she'd spent in this world.

I was right, you do have a pretty voice... It's almost like you're singing about Nerezzza....
It hummed with pleasure.
What's your name, bard-girl?

She waited for a pause in the lyrics before responding.
"My name is Faeylinn. Who are you?"

It's nice to meet you, Faeylinn... daughter of the fae, your name means... isn't that neat? I like books... and music... but I can't play myself, I can barely turn the pages of the books here... but I like to read them and learn things and hum songs to myself since people don't come here very often.
It's voice was wistful, yet eager.
As for who I am... I don't really have a name. Is there something you'd like to call me?
It sounded hopeful.

"A name... Hm... I don't really know... Are you male or female?"
It'd be pretty hard to come up with a good name for this... Whatever it was considering she didn't know it's gender.

....?
It's thought was confused.
I am me.... there are no others. So... I'm an 'it', I think. Does this mean you can't name me?
It's voice held a sorrowful plaint to it.

She blinked, surprised, then bit her lip in thought.
"Hm... What do you think of the name 'Shiluya'?"

It giggled.
Ooh, purty name! And is that a she name? I could be a she, since I'm really the only one of me there is!
And a long, thin, tendril of winged shadow with bright green eyes darted out of the dark corner of the room and did a loop-de-loop in the air.
Wheee, I have a name!

She leaned back, startled, and almost fell off hte piano bench. When she had regained her balance she asked,
"So, what exactly are you? You said your Lady keeps you company sometimes- Elexa knows about you, Shiluya? You two are friends?"

The serpentine head of the little shadow-snake-dragon thing nodded. Lady Elexa's nice to me, just like Lady Seleste before her, and Lady Serena before her, and Lady Resa before her... but Lady Elexa doesn't play much music. Most of them have forgotten about me, but at least Lady Elexa hasn't! And when she has some time she'll occasionally come talk to me.
It curled up on top of the piano.
As for what I am... well, I'm... not really sure. One day I just was.

Faeylinn reached out cautiously, holding her fingertips an inch from Shiluya, not sure if she could touch her or not.
"Um, may I?"

Sure!
The foot-and-a-half-long shadow wound itself around Faey's fingers and up her arm. It was cool and soft, not made of scales but of something halfway between solid and insubstantial, as though it were mist given form. It twined up her arm.
Warrrmmm......

She giggled at the sensation of Shiluya sliding up her arm. It wasn't an unpleasant feeling, just strange. Then she remembered her plans to leave for Ketalunox. What time is it? Will I have to leave soon? She frowned while considering this.
"I'm sorry to tell you this, Shiluya, but I'm not staying, at least, not for much longer. I'm going to leave for Ketalunox sometime within the next few hours, maybe less, I'm not sure."

Oh. Okay! Let's go!
She made no move to move.

Faeylinn laughed and left the music room, headed down what she hoped was the way she'd come.
"You really wanna come with me, Shiluya?"
