Yes. Do…. Do I look different or something? [Elena looks down to her feet.]
N-No, don’t worry, I’m sorry, it’s… It’s just that you and Katherine look alike, I think, but I’m not… I’m sorry, Elena, just give me a second—
It’s okay, please...
Thank yo- [Elena stopped short. Her eyes wide she slowly lowered her hand from her neck.] No, James has taken good care of me so I should have no reason to be in pain. [she tried to make her rehearsed lines come off as convincing as possible.]
[Elena remained silent. She should have told him she was happy there but it was nice not having to lie for once. She could agree with him though. That would risk a sever punishment from James. She took a deep breath and moved on to why she was there. She put on her best...
[Elena was relived when Hansel didn't altogether reject the idea. There was, of course, stipulations should Elena not be able to sway him into the idea.] Thank you, and he said I should tell you there... There would be proper plating this time. Though I have no idea what that means, he said you would. And.... [elena dropped her voice] I would love an evening with another tribute. [ it was a dangerous thing to say but she wanted hansel to know that this would mean the world to her.]
[Elena looked down at her feet and spoke in a soft subdued voice.] My apologies Mr…. Umm.. Sir. I should not have spoken like that to someone such as you. Please forgive me.
..Mister Lannister. It’s, er.. It’s quite alright, miss. Where is your, um, master?
[Elena flinched at the word though she had used it so many times over the last few days. It was one thing for James or Elena to use it but for others to recognize that she had a master was a little devastating. But she answered anyways.] James is discussing a business deal at the moment and I have been instructed to wait for him here. Thank you for asking mr. Lannister.
Yes. Do…. Do I look different or something? [Elena looks down to her feet.]
N-No, don’t worry, I’m sorry, it’s… It’s just that you and Katherine look alike, I think, but I’m not… I’m sorry, Elena, just give me a second—
It's okay, please take your time. [Elena looks down at the champaign in her hand as she waits. But her hand moved absentmindedly to her neck. She rubs at the skin there as if messaging it.]
...
They’re… bidding for us…?
Oh Ginny! I can’t believe their doing this to you?
(Features go blank for a moment after she looks at Elena; slides back with a yelp) U-Uh… (Pauses; staring) Sorry, you’re… sorry, (Shakes head) Elena.
Yes. Do.... Do I look different or something? [Elena looks down to her feet.]
[Elena gave a thankful smile.] Of course I am lucky. James has taken good care of me. I am forever in his debt. [The words came out very practiced. It was what James told her to say. But she dropped one of the sentences. ‘I am his, forever his.’ She may have been his but…
[Elena remained silent. She should have told him she was happy there but it was nice not having to lie for once. She could agree with him though. That would risk a sever punishment from James. She took a deep breath and moved on to why she was there. She put on her best smile and spoke in a renewed and chipper voice] James would like you to join us for dinner some time. Would you be willing to do that?
Well if I let you call me that I… I might be puni… [Elena goes silent and her eyes remain low.] I have been lucky enough to catch the eye of Mr. Thornwood. He has been keeping me at his private home. [her voice is low and she never looks up at Hansel. She is portraying the...
[Elena gave a thankful smile.] Of course I am lucky. James has taken good care of me. I am forever in his debt. [The words came out very practiced. It was what James told her to say. But she dropped one of the sentences. 'I am his, forever his.' She may have been his but she just could get the words out without tearing up. She let a chuckle out.] Even if I was in the auctions tonight, James would buy me. He would let anything stop... Sorry. I shouldn't say that.
I'm not into this bidding thing...
He is kind of a fan. [When Hansel refers to her as a tribute Elena flinches. She looks to her feet and spoke in a soft voice.] I’m not allowed to call myself a tribute.
Yeah, well, you’re not calling yourself that. I am. Besides, it’s what you are. Where have you been? [Hansel is certainly curious. And she’s not participating in the auctions. Lucky her.] Have you been with him? You alright?
Well if I let you call me that I... I might be puni... [Elena goes silent and her eyes remain low.] I have been lucky enough to catch the eye of Mr. Thornwood. He has been keeping me at his private home. [her voice is low and she never looks up at Hansel. She is portraying the classic signs of submission as she has been told to do when speaking about or with James.]
Only $300?
Surely my years of experience should gain me a little more consideration when it comes to bids.
Mr. Michaelson. [Elena nods to Elijah out of respect. But here eyes flick to James in the corner watching her every move.]
You’d think a Capitol citizen would be thrilled to be here tonight [Elena rolls her eyes a little then stops short]… Oh, sorry. That was rude.
Yeah. [Katniss pursed her own lips, before realizing her mistake and straightening up a bit, putting on her most menacing look.] That was very rude, Miss Gilbert.
[Elena looked down at her feet and spoke in a soft subdued voice.] My apologies Mr.... Umm.. Sir. I should not have spoken like that to someone such as you. Please forgive me.
I'm not into this bidding thing...
Oh, it’s just… James talk about you a lot… [Elena blushes. Even when he isn’t there James makes his way into her conversation.]
James? Why the hell would he be talking about me? [Hansel studies her for a long minute, brow furrowed in thought, before he blinks in realisation] Hey, you’re a tribute, aren’t you? Yeah, you’re the one that was taken out…
He is kind of a fan. [When Hansel refers to her as a tribute Elena flinches. She looks to her feet and spoke in a soft voice.] I’m not allowed to call myself a tribute.
Not having any fun tonight?
I’m having the time of my life.
You'd think a Capitol citizen would be thrilled to be here tonight [Elena rolls her eyes a little then stops short]... Oh, sorry. That was rude.
I'm not into this bidding thing...
But seriously. $150?
[Elena, finally alone, moves closer to Hansel] Umm, hi. You’re… You’re Hansel, right?
[Hansel looks to Elena a bit confused by the greeting, like things are actually normal here… If only.] Yeah, I’m Hansel. Why?
Oh, it's just... James talk about you a lot... [Elena blushes. Even when he isn't there James makes his way into her conversation.]
If I get called short one more time..
Not having any fun tonight?
I'm not into this bidding thing...
But seriously. $150?
[Elena, finally alone, moves closer to Hansel] Umm, hi. You're... You're Hansel, right?

Elena's dress for the evening curtesy of James' own stylists.
[Elena walks in on the arm of James Thornwood. He has clearly saved her from the auctions tonight to keep her for himself. She looks sheepish next to him and looks around the room for other tributes.]
