[I don't actually have a crying tiny!Klavier icon so.]

[Seven-year-old Klavier is sitting on the sidewalk, tears welled up in his eyes. He's sniffling a little, and his face is puffy as if he just stopped crying.]Mother an' Father 'n' Kris are all gone... Mother and Father have been gone a month 'n' Kris said he'd look out for me

[SOMEONE IN NEED OF HELP~! Anakin is holding a glass of water for Klavier] Here.

[Klavier looks up and takes the water. He looks at it for a moment, and then drinks it.]

Th... thanks.

[ihasdarkside]

You're welcome. If I had food, I'd give it to you but I'm hungry myself. If I find food, I'll give it to you!

[einspruch]

That's really nice of you. Kris always says that people need t'earn what they eat themselves. But I'm too little to have a job...

[ihasdarkside]

I work because I have to. If you can avoid it, wait until you're older.

[einspruch]

But I don't wanna have a borin' job. I wanna be a rock star!

[ihasdarkside]

...Rock star?

You want to shape rocks into stars?

[einspruch]

... Sei kein Dummchen! A rock star! A person who plays music in front of lots 'n' lots of people!

[ihasdarkside]

A cha nallya chee.

[I don't get it]

[einspruch]

Rock's a kind of music. Rock 'n' roll. You've never heard of Jimi Hendrix?

[ihasdarkside]

I'm never listened to music before. We don't get that sort of freedom.

[einspruch]

What?! You gotta listen to music! It's amazing!

[ihasdarkside]

I might have heard it a few times but it's not an everyday thing.

My mom sings to me, does that count?

[einspruch]

... I guess so. But still, music is great!

[ihasdarkside]

You should show me some music!

[einspruch]

Okay! I will! ... But I don't have my music player with me... maybe we can find some somewhere, though? I know the stores have music playing in them sometimes...
