Voice testing! Homeless!

[coversears]

[She's curled up, knees pulled up almost to her chin as she sits. Her hands are unmistakably covering her ears to block out the sounds that no one else can seem to hear. She wants to block it out. Where is Finnick? Where is she?]

Uhm, I'm not sure... why you want me. I've been in a Game before I really don't want to do it again. I want to be with Finnick. Can't you let me go back to him?

[Her voice goes quiet as she whispers, begging.]

Please?

[He was beginning to understand the gesture she was blocking out a sound only she could hear. While Hades couldn't ease what ailed her so easily he could at least try to help. So with a very gentle and careful hand he would reach to one of Annie's hands, not to remove it but stroke it gently as he sang.]

The sun sleeps on the mountains and the partridge in the tree. Let this beauty sleep and dream. Whisper to her but don't wake her.

[He would just go with those few slightly improvised lines to see if that lulled her at all.]

[She tenses up a moment, sensing his hand reaching towards hers.

Not Finnick. But he's trying to help so, slowly, she moves one hand away from her ears and then the other. She didn't want to think about the bad things - the boy from her District who'd died in her games, Mags taking her place in the Quarter Quell, the things that seemed to haunt her.]

U-uhm, thats a nice song. [Belatedly there's a quiet but unmistakable laugh.]

[Hades smiled and laughed a little too.]

It's a slightly improvised version of a lullaby from my homeland.

[She takes a moment, letting this information sink in.]

Oh... It's lovely.

If you want me to sing again just let me know. I don't mind being a distraction.
