An Epic Ballad {Knight!!}

”And then Rider and Dragon would surely be
All their Weyr could ever believe!
The purple and his rider would fight with glee!
And do everything they could ever achieve!

Valliant C’ian called from aback!
‘Flame all the thread to fall!’
Shirath of course went for the attack!
And destroyed it with an almighty squall!”

Squall mine? That doesn’t sound too noble to me…
It’s the only thing that fit with my lyrics at such late notice now be quiet or I will have to start over again.
Having endured fifteen verses of said song Shirath fell silent almost immediately but could not contain himself much longer. They were seated together near the Weyrlake, C’ian wrapped in all his clothes and kicking up the snow at random intervals in something of a dance. His voice was a little fainter now that it had started and his breathing a little more laboured. He was getting tired from his exertions.

Mine, a squall sounds like I have fallen from the sky. Who in the whole of Pern will want me if they think I fall from the skies at the slightest indication of Threadfall?
Hey! This is my song! You wanna take a try at it?
Yes.
I didn- eh?
I believe I could sing better than you.

That certainly took the wind out of his sails and C’ian stared at the purple for a long moment before folding his arms in something of a challenging manner.
“Well! Maybe you should write a song then and we’ll sing it to the next person to walk past! They can be the judge of whose song is better, hmm? I bet they’ll say mine because mine’s an epic ballad! I still have ten verses to go!”
He brushed his fingernails on his jacket in an annoyingly superior manner, looking at the purple with a challenging grin.
They will probably stop listening after mere moments. Mine, however, will only draw them deeper into the song. My musical voice will give them no choice! They will love me straight away.

Of course, both rider and dragon would immediately become distracted from their competition once someone did turn up considering how focused each was on making new friends.
