Tucked away in one corner of the room is a surprisingly spacious seating area. Here, dragons who need a little break from the festivities can come and sit down to eat, have a conversation, or simply enjoy the view from the huge bay windows. It seems like all of Sornieth is laid out below. The Zephyr Steppes stretch out in every direction, with the Sea of a Thousand Currents just visible on the horizon. Dragons of all kinds are constantly flying around the Cloudsong: coming, going, or simply playing in the howling gale that fills its sails.
Inside, however, it is peaceful. Only a gentle puff of air, perfumed with floral scents, stirs the observation deck. It announces the presence of a skydancer. She stands on her hind legs, wooden pipeflute in hand. Wind chimes hang from her outstretched wings. Flower petals constantly fall around her. She smiles, causing another breeze that makes the petals swirl everywhere and sets her chimes ringing. She plays a simple tune on the pipes to accompany the bells.
The song is slow and meandering, mixing easily with the ringing of the chimes. Sometimes the melody is easy to identify, sometimes it seems as random as the notes hit by the jingling chimes. But somehow it always harmonizes perfectly, and is pleasant to listen to. The refreshing breeze continues to blow, keeping the air sweet and the wind chimes in motion. The skydancer stands almost perfectly still, only moving to play her pipes. It is quite a change from most of the other music that can be found in the party, which ranges from merry to downright frenetic. Hers is tranquil and meditative, casting a spell of serenity over the entire area.
After some time, the last note trails off, and the skydancer smiles softly. "I hope you enjoyed my performance," she says. "I will play again after a break. In the meantime, feel free to try the refreshments in this area." She gestures to a table loaded with food.

RubieKanary "The chilled moths are quite nice," she suggests to a distracted-looking skydancer.
@
Zaya "Or some plants, for a trio of tundras?"
@
BJsBabes "Ah, seafood for a coatl! We have plenty, perhaps you would enjoy the lovely, uh," okay so a Marsh stalker can't really be called lovely, no matter how well it's been cooked, but it tastes good, promise!
@
dragonlover1234 The skydancer hands him some plants to eat on his way past. He'll be thinking more clearly on a full stomach!
@
ViaCurro Perhaps some festive frog legs would make a nice chaser?
@
HSoup Flies are usually a terrible surprise, but these are lightly toasted and oh so crunchy. They have some kind of seasoning that really brings out their flavor, too.
@
Welgan "How nice to see you both! Would you like some fish?" she says to Erius. "We have plenty?"
@
LadyOfTheSkies "What a lovely picture! Perhaps it's time for a snack, how about some fresh cicadas?"
@
Sylphiette "It's always nice to meet someone so harmonious. Would you like some chilled moths? They're my personal favorite!"
@
per1heli0n "Perhaps you and your friend would like some braised gecko?" She's not sure if bats eat meat, but she knows nocturnes do.
@
Zytorian After the grasshoppers, the next course is snails. Mmm, so crunchy!
@
jamesfitz3 One has to wonder if Melody's music style appealed to Sperry at all. She can at least provide some food that he'll find appealing, though!
@
DisastrousAbsol Melody has to restrain herself from asking if she can pet the doggos while she offers their owner some ladybugs.
@
GuardianDragonak Melody smiles in delight as she offers the Windiest food she has to the Windiest dragon she's seen all day!
@
Canisa "Oh dear, looks like trouble," Melody murmurs to herself, and tries to break up the tension by offering the pair a large insect platter.
@
SilverQuark "You're cute enough to turn his head, you know," Melody murmurs to her with a wink, and hands her a lovely bouquet in case she wants to try her luck.
@
AshuriiAkemi The wildclaw might be too shy to do an encore, but Melody will perform for as long as Rana cares to listen!
@
Prescott Any kite that can catch the wind is a winner, as far as Melody is concerned. Perhaps some food will help Botan pluck up her courage! No sense competing on an empty stomach.
