Seth entered the bar, feeling much better then the day before. Ordering a bagel and a cup of coffee, he situated himself at a table, eating and people watching. Maybe he'd run into someone he knew, or maybe he'd even meet someone else. He'd welocome anyone, after all, he's feeling rather social today.

Asmodean chuckled, with a half-smile.

"I suppose."

Seth smiled broadly. "Just think about it."

He paused. He studied Seth for a moment with his cool, dark eyes.

"I believe that I know some music from your world. Would you care to hear it?"

"Sure! What do you know? If you know some Death Cab I'll love you forever," Seth said, pulling his chair closer to the piano.

Asmodean chuckled darkly.

He turned to the piano, and began to play a slow, somber melody that Seth might recognize. The bard began to sing, his voice no longer cool, and dry, but rich and full of emotion. Despair filling his voice, an almost frightening tone.

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's messed up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

He glanced up at Seth as he finished.

"Green Day," Seth exclaimed, applauding the man with a smile. "That was good, man! Very good! Little depressing, but good!"

He chuckled, and smiled slightly. A touch of pleasure on his face.

"You are very welcome, Lord Seth."

Seth just smiled again and nodded, not bothering to create the man on the Lord thing again. "How long have you been playing piano anyway?"

Asmodean considered for a moment.

"I have been playing for around two months."

"You've only been playing for two months? Seriously?"

Asmodean chuckled.

"Yes, though I have been a musician for many years."

"Oh! What else do you play then," Seth asked, leaning against the back of his chair, resting his chin against the top rung.
