“too kind for your own good”

amos dawn - fourteen - district eleven

I feel most at home on the street, with my fiddle under my chin and a hat at my feet. Christian can keep his fancy potions and my aunt and uncle their own little obsessions. When I lose myself in music, I am truly found. On a good day, I can even make more money than my grandfather can from the orchards. And today the streets are busy, and the citizens are generous, their pockets open. I swoop into every note, my bow trilling expertly. "And how old are you?" the people ask, stunned when I tell them. I admit, I'm proud of my talent, and always willing to show it off. Christian is always so... private. How can he expect to make any connections, or even any friends, when he doesn't put in the effort like I do? I smirk, and continue playing. A figure begins to walk past me and my melody swells, enticing them to place a little money in my hat. I make eye contact and smile, hoping it's enough to draw them in. Like a siren, or an anglerfish, I know how to hook my prey.

I walk down the streets to get away from the fight that was about to start up in the house. I didn't want to get into it today. I just wanted to relax. I take the back roots before I have to merge into the main roads. When I run into them, there is a performer on the side that I've seen a couple times before. Today,I there wasn't many people today, so I could hear her clearly. He sounds really good. Why haven't I heard him play before? It was sort of... hypnotizing. I take a couple coins, not really counting them, and tossed them into his hat. He made eye contact with me and gave me a smile. I smiled back. "You play really well. How long've you been playing?"

“too kind for your own good”

amos dawn - fourteen - district eleven

The song draws to a close, one mellow note ringing out from my bow mournfully, fading into the non-silence of the street. The boy in front of my regards me with a look of contentment in his eyes and I can't help feeling some pride that I'm able to affect people in this way. "You play really well," he muses, and my smile widens. Uncle would tell me to have a little humility. "How long've you been playing?" I bend down to retrieve a small cloth from the fiddle case, polishing the instrument delicately as I casually respond, "most of my life, really. I live up in the Orchard sector, and there isn't ever much to do. Playing, well, it's what keeps me sane." Shrugging casually, I position myself again and begin to retune. "It fills the time, you know?" I explain, wondering if this boy has a talent, or hobby, as well. His dark eyes, and the lines of stress on his face, suggest that his life isn't as serene as mine, and a ball of pity swells inside me for him. The least I can do is sustain the conversation a little longer, and give him that release.

The end of the song ended on a note that made you feel sadish. He proceeds to take out a rage and wipes down his instrument with it. He polishes it almost it was like a living being, so delicately and gently. Another reason why I probably won't be able to play an instrument. I won't take care of it. "Most of my life, really. I live up in the Orchard sector, and there isn't ever much to do. Playing, well, it's what keeps me sane" he says casually, like if we were friends. Flashbacks of the time I brook my arm come back to me. Those jerks... His tuning brings me back. "It fills the time, you know?" I think about my life, and realize how I've basically worked most of it. I haven't done much at all besides work. "I never really had time for anything with work and all. You're lucky, ya know?" I give him a smile. I wonder what would have happened if I actually had free time. What would I have done?
