Tommy O'Kelly just wanted to get out of the house for a night. A night without reading income reports or reading timetables and calculating paychecks. A night without hearing reports from the fields on which oil pump was frozen and needed to be fixed. He was tired of it all, so he left. He simply got up and left the house and he even ignored Ava ranting on about he "needs to do the right thing and work during business hours" and all that bull. He needs a break that he will never get. He wishes that he could go on a vacation to 4 where he could sit on the beach and sunbathe in the sun. But he's stuck in 5 in the freezing cold winter walking towards the Square when a little boy just runs straight into him. Most nights he wouldn't mind but he's too much on edge to not say something "Hey runt! Watch where you're running!"

She was running across the district again. Instead of being cooped like a bird in a metal cage she was pumping her legs, her lungs, her heart and her blood until she could feel every ache beneath her skin. Then, she waited for each one to subside until she felt only the runner's rush. It made her feel light as air, and as invincible as the knights in the stories. She never considered herself a knight, though; she would much rather be a princess. A princess with wild hair and a dress that would drag against the dirt. A princess that would own a giant palace immune to fires and idiocy. A princess that would surely be called anything but a "runt" when crashing into somebody by accident. She promptly scowled and stepped back - not lady-like at all, but who cares? Those were stories anyway.

"Who are you calling a runt, ugly?"

It took him a bit of time before he realized that the "boy" that ran into him wasn't actually a boy at all. It was actually a young pre-adolescent girl. He didn't notice it when she scowled at him; and she had a pretty good one at that. Or called him ugly, even though he'll get back at her for that one. He noticed it when the breeze flew her hair across her face, and then he decided that runt wasn't necessarily the right word in this situation. She seemed more like a princess to him than a runt. Tommy scowled back at her, mainly for insulting his vanity and replied with "I'm calling the spoiled princess in front of me a runt, because that's what you are."
