That earned a hearty laugh. "Ha! My tributes? They can rot for all I care. They're canon fodder. There's no prize for them. There's no one to fight for. And anyways, they've repaid me for all the work I put in by getting themselves arrested over and over again, getting branded, getting their money and belongings confiscated, getting me in trouble."

Jessica's entire body seemed to shake, and she hadn't quite realized she was yelling until a few other faces turned around to look at them. She didn't care, not for herself, but for Emily's sake, she dropped her voice. "Between you and me, the only reason my Tributes aren't not in worse trouble is that I slept with Buddy Glass. Let that sink in, Emily. I have nothing anymore. I'm reduced to sleeping with the head Peacekeeper to keep them out of jail. I don't owe my tributes anything more."

Of course, she hadn't slept with Buddy for her tributes. She did it because she'd felt like it, because she was lonely and craved the attention. But that didn't really matter. She may as well have done it to save Eponine or Albert or the others.
