"Please" "please" "help us" " you must have something" "come on, lets have
the rubbish" "please" "we need something, anything" "please".....
Maria blocked her ears, and just managed to keep the tears within the confines of her eyes. The guards even had the nerve to tell them there was nothing, no scraps, when everyone knew they were lying.
She stepped back, and looked around for Liz. A strange man she didn't recognise was leaning forward and talking to her. She ran over and pushed him away from her most beloved friend and family.
"Just what the hell do you think you're doing? Leave her alone you, you, you pervert. Get outta here" She turned to Liz, quickly giving her a rough once over - no bruises or anything. "Come on Lizzy" she said softly, "We have nothing today."
Liz's face looked towards her, "But I'm hungry".
"Yeah...me too Lizzy, but I guess the royals don't have spare today". Yeah right, the royals probably tested everything first and if they didn't like it, feed it to the bins.
Maria gave a comforting hug to Liz, and turned her away, towards the river, and walked.
"That man was kind...he got me a stick"
"A stick?"
"Yep. To draw. I drawed him a message, I hope he got it. He walked up to the gates, and he looked angry, so I drew him a message and I was wondering if he got it"
"What language?"
"Our language!" Liz smiled at her answer, as she knew it was the one Maria was looking for. Never be able to remember anything her ass. Liz remembered lots of little things, and Maria smiled and gave Liz a little hug as they passed by the harbour. Headed for their favourite spot, the gulls above flew around above, "cawing" their distaste at being disturbed on such a beautiful day.
