I shove several slices of bacon into my pockets and follow the others out of the dining area.
It seems strange how easily I've adapted to having plentiful food and a warm place to stay. When I first came here, I was seven and practically starving. Roland found me performing my usual (literal) song and dance routine while begging for coin. He told me I could have a better life. I didn't believe him, I mean it's not like my life was that bad. It was unpredictable, especially when trying to find a warm place to sleep at night that didn't have any fleas. I liked it that way! But then one day he brought me a beautiful lute and said that if I came to live with the other children, I could learn to play for enjoyment rather than to get my next meager meal. I decided to give it a shot. And guess what? My life WAS a lot better!
My shoulder-length dark brown hair bobs as I practically skip over to Roland's study, the tips of my elven ears (less pronounced due to my mixed heritage) peeking out every so often.
