"Wits. I think I can manage that. They've done me good so far." She nodded. He understood. You had to have certain skills to survive in their worlds. If those skills were necessary in the arena...Well, that's one up on the others, right?

She understands--She's not trying to make allies. She wants to make friends, she wants to present to the Capitol someone who is friendly, who is not seditious, who is perfectly safe. She knew better than to trust anyone here, except Ellis and Nick. They were the only people she could count on.

But, still. She missed having other people to talk to. She glanced at Luke speculatively, as he spoke. Her face was somber, for a somber topic, and she glanced down. Well. It was a possibility she'd have to deal with. That one day she'd wake up, and their group would be permanently one down, two down. Or she could be left alone.

She'd prefer death.

But she was ready to change the topic to something better. She glanced up at Luke, and shot him a smile. "Well, those are the odds we had to play with back home too, didn't we? I tell you what, we both pop out of this next arena, meet me for a few drinks. I've missed getting to go have drinks with people." How long has it even been, since she's asked someone out for a drink, like this? Lord, she didn't want to think about it.
