"Fire Emblem Sings!"
A/N: Part two!
"...Please welcome Jaffar singing 'Tourniquet' by Evanescence!"
There were mutters in the crowd, and Nino tilted her head, curiously. She'd never heard this song, and she'd very rarely heard Jaffar speak, much less sing. She sat up attentively as Jaffar walked onto the stage and took the microphone from the stand.
"I tried, to kill the pain
But only brought more
I lay dying
And I'm pouring,
Crimson regret
And betrayal
I'm dying,
Praying
Bleeding
And screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I to lost?"
Everyone stared at the assassin, mouths wide open. Two reasons, he was singing, and he sang GREAT.
"My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
Do you, remember me?
Lost for so long?
Will you be on the other side,
Or will you forget me?
I'm dying,
Praying
Bleeding
And screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I to lost?
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My wounds
Cry for the grave
My soul cries
For deliverance
Will I be
Denied?
Christ,
Tourniquet
My suicide"
As the ending music played, Nino assumed an confused look. Jaffar wasn't religious... or was he?
The tactician took the microphone from Jaffar, smiling broadly, as always. "Alright! Now, after another brief interception, we'll welcome out next singer!"
Everyone, once again, filed out. Nino walked up to the stage, and Lindsay nodded, giving her permission to speak to Jaffar.
"Jaffar?" she said, parting the curtains, only to see the back of Jaffar's cape... thing.
"Jaffar?!"
"..."
The assassin had fallen to silence again. She tugged his cape. "I didn't know you were religious!"
If this were an anime show, Jaffar would, undoubtedly, anime fall.
"... I am, mildly."
"... oh... about that last part of the song... did you mean it?"
The assassin nodded.
"... You want to die?"
"... Somewhat..."
"Jaffar!"
She embraced him from behind, best she could. He was taller, and older. "I don't want you to die!"
"Psst! Back to your seat, Nino!"
Nino turned and looked at the tactician, and nodded, walking out and slipping into her seat, looking at the stage still. "Jaffar..."
Alright! Give a rousing round of applause for..."

A/N: Muhahaha! Who shall sing next?
