Friends? [Annastasia]

I was in town for a reason, I had to get some things for my family. Not that I had seen Lethe in a very long time, she spent most of her time in the Capital these days with her new husband. I myself was stuck here back in District 5, not exactly suffering, but I wasn't the happiest of young women. With a husband of my own and a child to raise I was feeling some pressure, especially now that Lethe was married, not that I had to really worry, but I felt responsible for my little sister. She has never been the same since she returned from the Games, and I can't help but feel a little overprotective of her. It wasn't that I didn't think she was capable of making decisions, but I did wonder at her ability to see an entire situation without thinking of it all as some sort of fantasy...or was that just mom I was worried about.

I wandered from each one of the displays to the next, picking out the supplies that would support my family for the next week or two. Some food, drink, and warm clothes to last us until the bitter cold of winter passed, they were all things we needed, and thank god I didn't live in poverty anymore thanks to Lethe. As I spoke to each of the vendors in turn I lost track of wear I was moving, blindly going through the motions until I felt a force run against my back. Turning around I searched for the culprit, hoping against hope that it wasn't a pickpocket, but my eyes fell on a girl, maybe fifteen or sixteen and I couldn't help but smile at her. She looked so innocent, what could I do but smile. "Well hello there, what's your name miss?"
