While he lives at the edge of Pau’lau, Silveil is his home. He and his mom will always visit there because of her work at the guild. Zimri is free to run around and explore the city. With a grin on his face, he runs around through the city, seeing the subtle changes with decorations hanging up on the shops and gambles for the holidays. It did make him smile, even seeing a wreath made out of glowing mushrooms hanging in front of doors. “Oh! This is so awesome!” It made him smile, but what made him stare in awe and wonder is when a small quartet of musicians began to play music for the season.

It had calmed the little kittom down and wandered over to see what was going in. There was already a group surrounding the quartet as they play music, and Zimri managed to squeeze his way to see. His ears wiggle and eyes widen, seeing them playing together with guitars, violin, and a woman was singing lovely holiday songs that made him happy. “Wow…” Zimri muttered softly, for he doesn’t dare to interrupt their performance. His eyes traveled between the different musicians as he is amazed by how well they play with their paws and wondered how they could do that. They all look like they were glowing among the night light, but he was staring more at the guitarist who stood out. The guitarist strummed the strings with the pick as he plays those notes and in harmony with the others and the singer. The elnin saw Zimri staring at him, and the older nin winked at him and it made him smile so brightly that he was noticed.

At the end of the song, the audience applauds for their performance and leaves some money in the open guitar case. Even little Zimri took out some of his allowances and walks over to leave some more on how great they were. “Ah! Mom is gonna be so mad if I don’t hurry back!” He realized how late it was getting and he hurried back to the inn they were staying. But as he was running back, Zimri has the biggest smile on his face. “I’m gonna be a musician!”
