Effie nodded, and, unsure, reached out to tuck a strand of Pruna's hair back in a soft gesture. More than ready to quickly pull her hand back if needed.

Because you couldn't be too careful, and some children bit.

"Part of it. And so that it made it easier to help you. A lot of our society runs on...knowing who is who. For example, we could not get money to you if you didn't have a name, because we wouldn't be able to have you entered into the computer system that runs all of this."

Some children did, but this one didn't this time. She just blinked suspiciously and nodded as Effie spoke. It made sense, sort of. Pruna had no idea what a computer was but there were a lot of tributes and so having names was probably useful.

"I do be understanding." She nodded, "People did be needing to be knowing who I did be being."

[mannersmatter]

Effie nodded, pleased that she was seeming to make some sort of progress with Pruna.

"We want to help you, Pruna. That's what we want, more than anything else. Our ways are just....different than yours."

[knifewithnoname]

"They," She waved her hand towards the treatment rooms, "Do no never be explaining anything, they do just be doing things to me." And that more than anything was why she was so angry, back home her guardians had always explained her lessons clearly, briefed her before every mission.

The only time things had happened without explanation was when she was being punished, and here just felt like one huge punishment and she hadn't even done anything, much, wrong. "Everything do be being stupid and different and if you did really be wanting to be helping us you would just be sending us home."

[mannersmatter]

"Well, we can't send you home. And they just don't realize how...little you all know."

She was treading carefully, not wanting to loose the ground she had gained, but really...tributes could sometimes be a little over sensitive.

"If you would like, if something doesn't make sense...you can always come find me, and I will explain it."

[knifewithnoname]

Pruna wrinkled her nose, "You will be answering my questions?"

She didn't like the idea they couldn't send them home, they must be able to, they got them here in the first place.

[mannersmatter]

"I will indeed. As long as you promise me to behave." She pauses, not sure if that was a fair standard to expect from Pruna.

"As much as you can, at least."

[knifewithnoname]

Pruna wrinkled her nose as she thought about that. She tried to behave, most of the time. It was just everything here made her angry.

"I will be trying... Very hard."

Good end?

[mannersmatter]

"Very good. We'll get all of you out of there." There was a dark look behind her eyes, and she quickly smiled, covered it up.

"I promise."

good for me! Thanks!

[knifewithnoname]

Pruna blinked, both at the look and the words, wondering if she had heard wrong. But at the promise she gave a tiny smile and brought her hand up as if she were catching the words in the air, before putting that hand on her heart.

It was a childish gesture, one she had learned from the gang children she had ran with but Effie might get the unspoken acceptance of the promise, the fact she was being held to it.
