"I do it because I have nothing else to do. And.. I like to know that others have better futures than me. Better childhoods, too." She remembers her own childhood, and winces, but allows Jackal to see..
"You know, if you went and raised the prices, we could get more food." Says a five-year-old Lilly.
"OKay, then, you go pickpocket some kid if you're so worrie about money and food." Says a angry voice.
"Daddy, I didn't mean it-"
The next thing that Lilly could remember was him slapping her, then she woke up somewhere in Norway.

She just shrugs and begins walking down the path at a brisk pace towards town.

The kids greet them happily and Lilly nods for Jackal to come with her to the miniture stage.
"Hey guys, I have a friend with me today." She says once she gets on the stool. "His name is Jack."
She takes out the violin, and begins to play standing up, and the kids just look at her like, "Oh crap, this girl seriously..?"

Just play what feels right.
One kid runs up to the edge of the stage, with impossibly long black hair for a six year old.
That's my sister. I can't have her at the warehouse because she burnt the last place down.. so.. she is better here, anyways.

Jackal played as beautiful as he could, which was near professional.

Lilly gives a low laugh and then matches her violin to the guitar.

Lilly finishes the song after awhile.
"Okay guys, you know what today is? Christmas eve. So, I won't annoy the caretakers anymore. I'll be back tomorrow, okay?" She says, ignoring the kids protests. The caretaker ushers them out of the room.
"Sissie?" A small voice comes.
"Oh, Lyssie, I missed you!" Says Lilly, hugging her and greeting her like the french. They begin to talk about random things in french. French this. French that.

"Sissy, pouvez-vous lui faire confiance?" Asks Lyssie.
"Je ne sais pas .." Lilly replies with a small frown.
"Êtes-vous dans l'amour avec lui?" Lyssie grins.
"Je ne sais pas, peut-être!
... de ne pas attendre?" Lilly blushes.
"Vous êtes tellement foiré." She shakes her head.
"How can you be more mature and you're older!?" Lilly throws her hands up in the air with frustration.

Lilly just laughs and ushers Lyssie to the door.
"Love.." She chuckles. "I don't know love, hasn't she noticed?"
She shakes her head laughing, and grabs her violin and beings to play Chicken Fried.
