[he's fine with people who don't speak much. it usually means they think more.]

Well, whoever they are, they don' sound like my kinda people. Especially since I'm guessin' you don't mean games like Candy Land or Boggle or any of that shite.

[accidentalrebellion]

[Not that she knows.... what any of those are. But from the context she can probably take a pretty good guess.]

These aren't the kind you play for fun.

[spiritusaequitas]

Didn't think so. [he sighs] How'd ya even end up playin'? ... If play's even the right word.

[he doesn't even know what these games of hers entail, but he already sounds vaguely disgusted. to call something that isn't fun a 'game' and make people play it - that's twisted enough to start with. that's the sort of thing that'd have him putting the Gamemasters on their knees and dropping iron to the back of their heads]

[It is sick. Truly sick. There are things she's seen she's sure she'll never forget. Images that are haunting her already. Rue's lifeless body, that spear piercing her stomach. Those wolves with their eyes. Cato being torn to shreds, reduced to begging for her mercy just to end it all....

Which may make her next response seem all the more odd.]

I volunteered.

[spiritusaequitas]

[it is odd, absolutely. but he's hardly in a position to question why anyone would put themselves in danger]

Must've had one hell of a reason to.

[accidentalrebellion]

The only one that matters.

[She tries to swallow down a sudden pang.]

[he's a twin, he knows that tone. if it's not a sibling, it's family of some sort. gravely:]

Then I hope y' win.

[accidentalrebellion]

[The Games themselves may be over, but she knows. The real game has only just begun. Just as gravely:]

I have to.

[spiritusaequitas]

S'probably about as valuable as a wooden nickel from here, but -- anythin' I can do t' help? [he's got to ask anyway, it's been pretty much ingrained in him]
