Humming to herself the young hin walks to the tree that has a small gap in its roots that make for a decent cubby for a wayward circus girl. Stripping out of her cloths she touches the scar that runs down her left side ending at her hip one word touches her lips almost like a plea
"Prince"
With a sad sigh she folds her garments and stores them in the roots near her stash of rose petals before moving to the river's edge. She smiles at her garbled reflection before taking a deep breath and dives right in. She surfaces moments later slightly down stream breathing deep. Swimming lazily she moves to where the water is only waist deep for her (Thigh level for most humans) and begins to sing as she uses the river bed sand to scrub the grime of the day away. The first Verse of the song she deepens her voice.
" Daddy sent me here a-courting, oh, oh, oh.
I'm in earnest; I'm not sporting, oh, oh, oh."
The woman smiles as she rubs down her right arm, her voice shifting back to its natural soprano.
" You sit there and court the fire,
tee tee tee tee tending tie.
and sir, don't you dare come nigher,
tee tee tee tee tending tie."
Again deepens her voice.
" I've a ring worth twenty shilling, oh, oh, oh.
Thou canst have if you art willing, oh, oh, oh."
Her voice returns to normal as she begins cleansing other places on her body.
" Sir, I do not want your money,
tee tee tee tee tending tie.
And you cannot call me honey,
tee tee tee tee tending tie."
Deepens her voice once more pushing out her chest like a man.
" Lady, though art fine and slender, oh, oh, oh.
And I know thy heart is tender, oh, oh, oh."
Her voice goes back to the soprano a smile on her face as she nearly completes her cleansing.
" Sir, I see you are a flatterer,
tee tee tee tee tending tie.
But I cannot marry a Baker,
tee tee tee tee tending tie."
She giggles loudly as she finishes both her bathing and her song. Slipping under the water she rinses off the excess sand before wading to shore. Once she is again on dry land she moves to the tree and pulls out her stash of dried rose petals and rubs them across her body. Once she is satisfied she dresses and wanders off looking for work.
