(D7 MM, Murato Nesshin) The One That Got Away

Post by Kitsu Murato » Thu Aug 19, 2021 8:51 am

Murato begins the song, being the stronger performer. He displays his talents quite well, as he attempts to bring Nesshin in on it, guiding his partner in a duet.

Nesshin answers in a call-and-response fashion, his voice rising up to echo and expand upon Murato's words, the lover pleading with the beloved who wants to reject advances.
Let my bait be what makes you rise
In shining light and nighttime sighs
And turn not back from my trolled line
But seize it, take it, make you mine
Strangely, unexpectedly, his voice rings out strongly, powerfully, a rich baritone that few would have suspected of him. Though the strain of it tells on him soon, it is a rich and rolling thing, moving mightily out.

Murato was exceptionally impressed with his partner's performance as he continued the song alongside him. His initial concerns of never having performed alongside the Shika proved entirely unfounded. The pair of them matched as harmoniously as he ever had with any performing partner.
The beating of my heart is racing,
With the feel of fingers tracing,
I feel it in me while you're shifting,
I'll give my passion, so uplifting.

And as I find me deep inside
I dare not try to passion hide
I feel for you fore'er and now
Standing straight, to you I bow

And still I sometimes long for that,
The time when we had barely met.
I don't think I've been quite as glad,
To taste fruit that I'd never had...

The fruit that's never plucked from tree
Will fall and rot and never be
Made to grow or made delight
Either way, a wasted sight

"So I won't let it go to waste,
I open up to have a taste.
I press it to my lips again,
The sweetness dripping to my chin.

To feed you from my fields is joy
Delight that all me does upbuoy
And with you watering the hills
As our pairing th'canyon fills
