He needed to be careful; all it took was for the wrong people to notice him and it would be game over.

Looking much the worse for wear, in that he was significantly unkempt and clearly in need of a good shower, Kaiser had taken up a position at the side of the street. His bag was just behind him, the strap wrapped around his foot so that nobody could do a grab-and-dash, and an old hat sat at his feet, the sun glinting off of the coins inside of it. He was playing his guitar - these four chords were really all he needed - and singing a song in Italian with apparent gusto, grinning charismatically at those who happened to pass by, and even more so when they contributed coins.

At the end of his song, Kaiser finished playing with a flourish, then quickly stooped to see how much money had been thrown into the hat so far.

Gunnar was busy this summer. Far more than he had ever thought he'd be. And part of that busyness had to do with his sister and her injury. Not that he resented her at all for it, he felt like it was his responsibility to help take care of his siblings, and he was happy to do it. It just contributed greatly to his summer schedule.

And on this day, he told his mother he'd do a little extra shopping so that Chloe could save a trip to Diagon Alley and they didn't have to make it a whole family thing, which he knew could be a hassle with Morgan. But that didn't mean he would just head there, be responsible, and head back. He could certainly spare a little extra time for his own thing - maybe get some ice cream or hang out with a friend, should he happen to run into one.

Speaking of friends, Gunnar soon caught sight of one of his dorm mates when his attention was drawn to the music being played on the street. He listened for a moment, smiling a bit, as his feet took him that way. Clearly Kaiser was playing for money, which didn't seem to be a bad summer job. If only he could do that with his piano, but it wasn't exactly good for travel. He dug into his pocket for a few sickles and tossed them into the other boy's hat. "Not bad, mate," he grinned as he offered him a bit of applause as well.
