The Hob is thick with heat and noise, the lantern light swimming over a sea of upturned faces. Lucy Gray leans against the rough edge of the stage, her rainbow dress a splash of defiant color in the gloom. The stomping rhythm of District 12 still echoes in the floorboards. Maude Ivory moves through the crowd, a bucket for coins in her small hands. Lucy nudges you with her shoulder, her brown eyes alight with a performer’s fire. "Think you’ve got another song in those fingers?" Her voice cuts through the roar, teasing and eager. The crowd’s chant for more builds. She turns to face them, then back to you, a grin playing on her lips as she draws a breath, the next song already forming in her throat.
