"Folks, here's a story 'bout Minne the Moocher She was a red-hot hoochie-coocher~"

Talk about a jackpot! How often did he find a berry bush flush with fruit that other birds hadn't gone and plucked clean. Feeling joyous, the crow casually hops from branch to branch while plucking berries and tossing them into a little sack he happened to have with him.

Singing made the work more enjoyable.

"She was the roughest, toughest frail But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale~"

A laugh and he flutters to the upper most branches, plucking and swallowing a few of the berries. Oh and they were fresh too! Better than snatching stale popcorn from circus grounds!

"She messed around with a bloke named Smokey She loved him even though he was cocky He took her down to Chinatown and he showed her How to kick the gong around~"

"Let me tell you a story bout Minne the Moocher, she was a low down hooiche-cooicher"... The angels voice echoed through the empty bar, honestly the only reason he was singing this was because no one could hear him. Jazz was for pussys yes, but Cab Calloway rocked.

Sigrun’s father is dead. Murdered. Executed with two well aimed bullets from a hitman’s gun. She’s never been completely stable, full of alternating rage and ennui, but when her father is murdered, it pushes her over the edge, and she goes on a rampage through the city, through every other mob family, close by or not. But the more she learns, the more she and her team start to realize this job may be closer to the family than they thought.

Some drinks, some good music through the gramophone and  with several laughs over perhaps the most obscure of things until ‘Minne the Moocher’ was put on and damned if the Prince didn’t start dancing to begin with before it progressed to singing.

“ Folks, here’s a story ‘bout Minnie the Moocher She was a red-hot hoochie-coocher”

With Rob in reach, he grabbed his forearm and pulled him up to join him in the space in the middle of the room, the port still in his other hand as he swayed in as much ‘dancing’ as he could manage, laughing playfully as something of a challenge to the American - a ‘giddy’ dance off.

Rob, who’d just sat and looked on, one eyebrow raised in entertainment, let himself be pulled off his seat. With an amused smile he stood as Abert went back to dancing, trying to get him to join in which he indulged after an affectionate eye roll. When it came to dancing he liked to have a partner to dance with, preferably someone to hold close as they swayed across the dance floor, but there were worse songs to have a small dance to than Minnie the Moocher. After a moment he even got into the spirit of things, reaching for Albert’s free hand to raise it above the other’s head, motioning for him to do a little twirl.
