Two Eyes Cenote [WP] You don't have to be a star

Prompt: "your character feels extra confident in their singing ability, and breaks out into song!" with @Eset <3

Moss, having heard the news of a ceremony in the desert kingdom, had let their adventure's spirit get the better of them. Having secured permission, he embarked on the journey into the unknown, promising to return with tales and gifts from the sands.

The descent to the lowlands unfolded with breathtaking views and a cold that nipped at Moss's fur, but it was the approach to the gathering place that truly captivated their wandering soul- with enough new sights, sounds, and smells to satisfy the curiosity of any rambler.

Having arrived at what Moss could only describe as a palace earlier that morning, he happily deposited his gift with one of the servants before promptly passing out in the lodgings designated to him. Then it had been time to prepare for the coronation, and feeling severely underdressed, Moss sought help donning one of the mixtures he had seen others use to paint their eyes, opting for a dusty red made from the surrounding soil. A cicada's gleaming body nestled at their throat served as a final embellishment, and feeling quite pretty, Moss ventured to the otherworldly hall, making sure to commit every fantastical detail of the event to memory.

After the cheers subsided and the guests dispersed, Moss headed to the refreshments, indulging in a bite to eat and a sip of the fermented drink to ease the crowd-induced anxiety.

Retreating to what seemed like the most secluded corner, Moss observed the interactions of fellow revelers, humming softly to himself. The tune, lively and matching the celebratory atmosphere, resonated as Moss, blissfully unaware of their volume, transitioned gradually from under-breath humming to full-fledged singing. They joyfully repeated lines from the tune, their tail keeping time with the beat.

Fortunately for the gathered crowd, Moss wasn't quite inebriated enough to purposefully raise his voice, and the melody, though not a bard's masterpiece, added a touch of warmth to the festivities.
