This is only the second time Beck's been out dancing since that disastrous night when she almost lost Emily. It's weird, trying to go clubbing without hitting on anybody. More than once tonight, she's said "I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend," as much for the novelty as anything else.

She's been out for several hours when she sees Temple, but she isn't all that drunk. She doesn't trust herself to be, not after everything. Still, she takes a seat next to the Victor, giving her a little smile and gesturing over the barkeeper. "You look down in the dumps. What're you having?"

She doesn't necessarily like Temple, but she does feel a certain kinship with her. Beck spends a lot of her time feeling like a Districter playing dress-up, for all she's Capitol born and bred, so she has some sympathy for Temple. Besides, call it maternal instincts, but Beck Scordato never can resist someone who looks like they need helping.
