Luna catches on that there's something more to his words, and although she doesn't yet know quite what it means - is someone in the crowd listening in? Could there be another significance to the "tradition"? - it's enough to up her guard a little bit. She wasn't made to be indiscreet, after all, even if she isn't especially good at guile either.

She can already guess that there's something going on with the Hunger Games. Roland calls it a tradition, and the people who brought her to the suites had treated her participation as an honor. Those point to some sort of purpose, something that would benefit this place. (She's pretty sure that Sigma's involvement also says that, but she has even less idea of his intentions here than she did in the Nonary Game.) All of that doesn't mean that the death involved is any less horrible, but it does mean that there may be more meaning to the Games here than simple entertainment.

That's where her speculation ends, though. She'll need more information to guess any more. "Where I come from, things are much different than they are here. We don't have much by way of tradition...I never imagined some of them could turn out like this. Could you please tell me more about it?"
