“Oh.” Penny applauded politely as the boy finished the song, watching as the few others who had been listening gave him a bit of money. Was that custom? A few had drifted away without giving him anything, but watching the others she was pretty sure giving money was custom.
Unfortunately she didn’t carry much on her. She’d been mugged more than once, both when she’d first run away from home and since having met Winter. People didn’t like robots, she was obviously a robot (no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t get her facial expressions perfectly human-like), eventually she started carrying only what she knew she’d need. And a little bag of pennies that she’d found and started collecting after being told that pennies brought good luck.
Hmm.
She stepped forward, gently holding out the bag of pennies to him. She knew it was rather useless as far as actually buying something went, but hopefully it would be the thought that count. “This is for you.”
