"We could busk!"

"That might actually work if you're good!"

"I can sing. And draw."

"Maybe we say we're collecting money for something and sing and do music... If we look cute people are happier to give up some change..."

Maurice allows himself a tiny bit of smug. "People say I'm very cute."

"Hmm... If we say you two are trying to go home they'll just pity us, they think that's impossible. You don't go places around here. Not specific places like 'home' I mean. But maybe 'raising money for a school project'. I'll be learning something."

"That pretend grownup thing you do might help."

"I think I pull it off quite well, thank you. It does sort of depend on what sort of look we go for. And if anyone recognizes me."

"How many people live here?"

"I dunno, like thirty thousand?"

"Thirty thousand people in the sky. Wild."
