"Via, sweetie, it's nothing to be ashamed of! What teenager doesn't fill notebooks with poetry? You even go out of your way to compose music and turn them into songs!"
Things were going so well until Via decided to make a sandwich for herself. Got herself all prettied up and everything! Yes, Madhuri didn't mandate any fancy clothes for the occasion, but no way was she not going all out for a friend. Even with the lovely dressed, styled feathers and everything, the young owl has to bring out her beanie to cover her face from the pixie dressed like her adoptive dad.
"You could've wowed the audience with an original number. They're good ones! Especially the one about your dad being a superhero from space--"
Eyes are going wide as that one in particular is brought up. The remainder of her sandwich is getting stuffed into the pixie's face to stop that subject right in its place. That is forbidden knowledge that Via's pretending wasn't shared with the crowd through a big ol smile and a glowing blush.
II. The Hopeful Bloom - A Nerd At Heart
True, these new flowers were adept at catching one's attention. How could Via resist? They have an almost otherworldly glow to them. And as Via approaches, she's immediately captivated. Talons delicately brush over glimmering petals and a childlike sense of wonder takes hold. Would it be okay to pluck a few and plant them in hers and Stolas' garden? The temptation is strong.
Especially since there's a new flower for her and her father to study. A mix of genuine glee and academic curiosity take hold, so the princess might be observing them closely and taking notes on a little notepad.
III. Open Mic Night - Opening the floor
While Octavia's sure going up again after kicking off the open mic would be somehow cheating, it doesn't stop her from starting things off right. It's Madhuri's and G'raha's special day; watching them exchange their vows, feeling the tenderness in the air...for all that she's been exposed to a forced marriage that fell apart, watching one like this, brimming with love, it sends her heart aflutter.
The bride and groom deserve at least one slow song to share with each other, and that's exactly what she gives them. The one that best comes to mind is one she knows because of her dad, but it doesn't stop the princess from going all out. Is it well out of her normal range? Yes. Is she blushing because of her dad hooting and cheering the whole time? Absolutely. But if she can send off the newlyweds with a night to remember, then going red in the face is completely worth it.
Via passes off the mic afterwards so others can take their turns, hopefully not warding anyone off with her performance.
