I'm not just another pawn in your games.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you kind of are.

[justafewberries]

I've done my time, playing in games.

I'm not playing anymore.

[sociospatial]

It's an unfortunate life. At least you know what's happening - awareness is half the battle. Playing someone else's game means always losing.

[Katniss bristles a little. This reminds her too much of President Snow and the way he'd made her dance to his sadistic tune.]

I don't like losing to people like that.

[sociospatial]

Neither do I.

You know what I do like? People who defy games. Who break systems. Who can see that they're trapped in a rat maze and want to get out of it.

[justafewberries]

[Katniss raises her brow.] That's all I've ever tried to do. Bu most of the time, it doesn't turn out like I want it to.

[sociospatial]

Rarely does. The key is to have very few expectations.

[justafewberries]

I never have high expectations where games are concerned.

[thelightofgreece]

They won't listen. They never do.

[justafewberries]

I'm starting to get that.

[thelightofgreece]

And you learn to go along with it, truthfully.

[justafewberries]

I'm the most cooperative of people.

[thelightofgreece]

As am I.

We learn.
