Well. As if life couldn't get more complicated, he couldn't find Sheperd. At all.

Indeed, when he finally got the time to go and talk to her about the Stylists...she was gone. Her suite was bare, as if no one had been in there. When he tried to ask the other Mentors where Sheperd was, they told him not to bother looking. And...that scared him. And when he was scared, he tinkered.

And when he ran out of things to tinker with there was only so many modifications one could do to the holograph screens, he trained. And so that's where he was. This time, though, he was trying throwing knives for a change. They were a little like the shuriken back home, but longer. And with less control. So...he was getting the hang of them, but his aim was still...not as good as he'd wanted. A couple his the walls-

"Ah-"

His hand went to his temples. Shell the headaches. Every time he had a headache, he had memories. Memories of the last Arena. He was sure of it. But he had to get through them, not let the vague flashbacks overwhelm him. He had a mission and...and he had to focus on that. He had people to save from the Arenas.

He shakes his head. "I'm not trading one life for another," he settles on. Even if it's not "real" death, it's still having to hold life in his hands. "I'm not saying I'm not defending myself. We might have to meet in there someday, and if you play the game, I'm not standing down for you."

His lips are drawn tighter than usual; anyone who knows him well enough (so no one here) would be able to tell just how angry he is. "If that day comes, one of us will die, and that's what they want, isn't it?" Selfishly, he hopes if this happens, that it's him that dies. He blinks, and looks at Don because he can't think about this anymore.

"You ready to throw that knife again?"

Max watches, and listens, and appears incredulous. "You won't have to face me in an arena." she says quietly. "Not unless they insist on having Victors return for a Quell. Man," she shakes her head. "Denial really ain't just a river in Egypt."

She looks sidelong over at Don. "See you later, Buddy?"
