[Raile had never been all to good with this sort of thing, so once her eyes were closed he went right to work fishing his surprise out of his pack and placing it in Zia's outstretch hands. At first, all she would feel was a familiar weight...Raile had played with the thing once or twice, he remembered how it felt in his hands, hopefully he'd gotten that right; and once she opened her eyes, she'd find herself staring at a brand new, home made harp guitar.
It had taken Raile some time to find all the metal he needed, and more than once he'd stolen away into the forge to iron these things out. All he'd needed was some good strings, which he'd fashioned out of stripped down knifewood bark that he'd let soak in some bull brandy. These things were strong as they came and wouldn't be breaking anytime soon. All in all, it might have looked even more intricate than the one she'd had before, Raile was good with his hands after all and he'd taken the time to carve highly detailed patterns, each one representing a different god in the pantheon.
Anyone could tell he'd put a lot of time and effort into it, but in reality, his only reason for going through all this effort was just to see Zia a little bit happier...she deserved that much.]
Uh...here. I made it m'self, Bastion jus' didn't feel right without hearin' you play. I...hope y'like it.
