Ravena Kavieria.

It's fucking cold outside, and I'm bitter about it.

Fuck the snow. Fuck the wind. Fuck whatever this sleet shit is. Mother nature didn't take into account the homeless, and it's takin' all my willpower not to maul some random passerby for their jacket. Nobody even stops to look at me, and I've got my hands outstretched, itching for a coin or two. Someone even spits down at my feet.

I am not worthless. Who do they think they are? This isn't District One. Nobody here is entitled.

The only thing I can do to keep warm after awhile is to move around and stand by the doors of the shops so I can absorb some of the warm hair, but most of the shopkeeps bust me for loitering, sayin' nobody wants to go into a shop with a dirty girl outfront.

Bastards.

I move on, clasping my hands tight together to keep them warm, bitterness seeping through my pores.

Outside the world is a bitter land of cold.

(the snow crunches beneath his feet)

He is alone, avoiding the company of his family and their desperation.

(he hopes to find food for them)

His homemade clothes aren't enough against the chill.

(even his mother's love can't melt the city's frozen heart)

She looks as cold as he is, and as bitter as the world.

(the look on her face is one he knows well)

It's rude to stare but he can't look away from her.

(it's almost like he knows her, but he only knows her situation)

There is no way he can walk past her, but there is nothing he can do for her.

(the only thing he has that she doesn't is a roof over his head)

He stops when he realizes.

(they can fit one more into their tiny shack)

When someone bothers to look my way, I stare right back. He doesn't look cruel, not like the others, but then.. that doesn't seem right to say. 'Cept for the person who spat at my feet, nobody makes a move to cause me pain, and that's fucked up, ain't it?

Sometimes not giving a fuck can be cruel, too.

But this guy..

He stops. Wary as I am, I've been out in this cold for too long, and the world's not gonna get any less cruel just because I'm bitter about it. I don't have to trust him. I just have to see if he'll help me, even for a little while.

Who knows? Maybe the storm will pass, and tomorrow will be warmer. Maybe the winter will be a short one, maybe the wind will stop gusting through hollow walls when I wake up tomorrow.

Maybe. When pigs fly.

"What," I say, not quite a comment or a question. I stare up at him with wide brown eyes, and I'm still goddamn bitter.

I wish I didn't have to ask for help.

She doesn't stare back, she glares.

(the mistrust in her face is clear)

He doesn't know what to do, she has him trapped.

(he was stupid to engage the wild animal)

Her word catches in his throat and he's struck dumb for a moment.

(how can he say that he sees her weakness)

"You remind me of my sisters."

(he is weaker than she, how can he help)

She is fierce, how can he tell her otherwise?

(surely she would just kill him for it)

He has to remember that he knows what she's going through.

(except he has always had a home to return to)

If she trusts him then maybe he can offer her that little bit of comfort.

(how can she trust when the world turned away from her)

Because he is going against the crowd.

(unlike them he sees her)
