Finally Letting Up {Lyndis} {Blitz}

I had finally gotten away from Emerson for the day. He was an abusive brat that never let up, and for once, I was lucky enough to get a break. Emerson had to work that day, meaning that after my morning beating from him, I was able to head off wherever I wanted and not have to worry about him until he got home. Unfortunately, this particular 'morning beating' was rather harsh, and the older boy left me with a black eye and a bit of a limp, as well as plenty of bruises. It would certainly be noticeable as I wandered the District. Hopefully, it would be noticeable enough that someone would ask what happened, and maybe even get Emerson in trouble for the torture he put me through.

As I journeyed down the streets of the District, limping as I went, I watched people go by. There was a rather pretty girl that I spotted, but in the condition I was in, there was no way I was going to be able to look good approaching her. I simply smiled as I walked near her, hoping she was looking in my direction. I knew there would never be a relationship for me, but friends would certainly be a nice thing to have.
