Wind Chime
Whatever breeze comes along, you ring out just the right note for the moment.
A wind chime can't ring by itself. It only makes a sound when the wind blows, and that sound tells everyone nearby “The wind is here.” You often notice the moment the mood of a conversation shifts and gently change the subject.
Rather than sticking to a set pattern, you adjust how you act to the person and the atmosphere. Plans are often made on the spur of the moment, and they work out surprisingly well. You blend into all sorts of circles without strain and quickly hit it off with people you've just met.
Because you're good at fitting in, a question like “But what do you actually want?” can leave you unsure. Every wind chime has its own tone. If you decide on one note you want to ring, your own sound stays even as you move with the wind.
