WHO| EVERYONE!
WHAT| A party. A big one. 1 is cheering Max on and going all out.
WHEN| The day before the end of the Games.
WHERE| All the open banquet rooms in the Training center.
NOTE| Party post tag in.

The acid rain theme was still going strong.

In the main banquet hall a light rain feel over the whole room. Tents and awning were set up all over, and each guest was given a clear umbrella, the handle and ribs lighting up a rainbow of colors.

Light caught the rain, turning it colors as it fell, and huge ice sculptures dotted the rooms, "dissolving" as the way ran over them. District 1 had decided, at least, to aim for abstract sculptures, feeling replicas of the tributes might go a bit too far.

The food was, as always, extravagant and over the top. Blues and greens, fruits, juices, and succulent seafood's.

And, as always, everyone who was anyone was there.

Wait.

Wait.

He hadn't actually said anything. And, she realized, neither had any of this type of servant. Not one of the many she had seen.

"Oh my god, can you not talk?!"

[peacekeeperavox]

He looked away, towards the nearest knot of Citizens, the richly-dressed, over-painted Capitol natives, almost hoping one of them would tell her how this worked, why he shouldn't be communicating even this much. It wasn't done. It was against the rules.

He shook his head, just as tightly as he'd nodded before.

[needsaprince]

Oh.

Oh no.

She felt her stomach drop, and tear shined in her eyes because how could she have said something so...so tasteless and awful to someone.

"Oh my, I am so incredibly sorry."

[peacekeeperavox]

His eyes darted side to side again, more and more distressed. He took a half-step back, willing to withdraw if it would make her less upset, hoping none of the handlers were witness to this.

[needsaprince]

Oh, she was just making this worse.

"I'm going to go darlin'. I am so very sorry for what I said." She dropped a quick curtsy. "i am normally not so rude, and I just did not think, and I hope you'll accept my apology."

[peacekeeperavox]

He swallowed, mouth working strangely, and nodded again, knuckles white on the edge of his tray. Because they were attracting attention, now, a few stares over the edges of tall glasses. Some were disapproving, some mocking.

With one more little nod of her head, she flounced off.

Oh God, she felt just awful.
