Mara watched on from her seat. She didn’t actually know the song at all - her music tastes were apparently very different to her crewmates. The heavier it was, the more likely she was into it.
Although sayin’ that, workin’ with a Terran teacher and one who wishes she was Terran, they’ve been showin’ me some other things to test me. This probably ain’t the audience for that metal growl I’ve been workin’ on lately. Maybe I bust out one of the older songs Fabi taught me?
She didn’t regret sitting this song out. She wouldn’t have been able to match the enthusiasm from the others. And it did give her an opportunity to appreciate the voices that she was hearing for the first time, Hallowette in particular. The Midshipman definitely had very distinctive rasp that the Bandaran approved of.
But Calleja also knew that if she just sat here, there was every chance it would snowball into a major mental block. She actually loved singing, and if someone held a gun to her head, she’d eventually admit that she would love to perform with a fraction of the ease the rest of the group were now showing on stage.
I have to go up next. Just think of something and give it my best shot. No fuckin’ clue what that might be, but I gotta try. Otherwise I’m gonna spend the next fuck knows how long regrettin’ that I didn’t.
For now though, she was happy to finish her drink and appreciate the music.
