Hunger | District Fourteen
(She shook her head, smiling sheepishly.) Sounds all right to me. You don’t have to wake me up, though. I don’t sleep, you see.
[ His eyes widened then he remembered. ] Oh, that's right! I forgot. Well, I need the rest because I do sleep. I really.. don't know anything about you guys.
Hunger | District Fourteen
As— as soon as possible! Maybe after you’ve finished eating, if you like.
(She slid the sandwich onto the plate but didn’t offer it to him. First, she opened the fridge a second time and poured several baby carrots out of their plastic bag and onto the plate. Ginny passed it to him.)
You're gonna need some rest before we start. Tomorrow morning, alright? I'll come wake you up nice and early.
[ He nodded a thank you, pulling the plate close to him before placing one of the baby carrots into his mouth. ]
Hunger | District Fourteen
O-oh— yes! Just a moment.
So, when do you want to start? I got all the time in the world.
Hunger | District Fourteen
Ah—… Brilliant! Cheers! Thank you so much!
I won’t complain and— and I’ll work very hard, I promise!
You're welcome, kid.
You know, that's all I could ask for. But, uh- are you gonna finish my sandwich or do you want me to do it?
Hunger | District Fourteen
(She nodded quickly, perking up when he didn’t refuse her right away.) Yes! I really do, I want to learn. It’s not like I’m at a huge, insurmountable disadvantage; I’m just like every other untrained muggle and with those years of surviving in District Twelve and the Games and the Capitol my endurance can’t be half bad! I learn very quickly, besides!
[ He thought for a moment, knowing he wouldn't refuse her. ] Alright. We'll do it. You don't have to convince me. But, it'll be hard. I know you think you're in shape now. I know you're a quick learner but there is more to fighting that knowing how to hold a spear. Assuming that you want to, eventually, learn those techniques.
"And those are the words of someone who doesn’t even know his full potential. But at least you recognize you’re cocky; makes my job a tad bit easier.” Rolling her eyes, she sneered. “Seriously, does it matter what you’re not? If you’re caught with just an ax, wouldn’t you want to know how to properly use it? Honestly, you people and your inability to just ask, ‘How do I fix how I hold it, Queen Johanna?’”
"Full potential?" He snorted, "Who are you? My dad? And yea, I'm the sort of person who's stupid enough to admit he's cocky and not be embarrassed by it." Mimicking her, Gloss rolled his eyes, putting down the axe and turning his entire body to her. "The last thing I want to do is learn a new way to kill someone."
+ Fear No More | District Fourteen | Gloss
[ Lux’s eyes darted toward the way she had just entered from; she had taken a book form the room Hermione had found in order to try and improve her reading. Said book was now in her hand, and upon seeing the unfamiliar figure she quickly put it behind her back.
The man’s piercing look unsettled Lux, as she shifted slightly.
Was he one of Paylor’s people? ]
I-It’s okay… I-I sh-should have l-looked b-before c-coming in…
[ she replied quietly. ]
A-Are y-you one of the C-Commander’s p-people?
[ Gloss' confusion was too grand to attempt to hide. He saw how uncomfortable she was with him in this moment. For a second, he thought perhaps she had something to hide. That her innocent ways where just a facade. Gloss crossed his arms, his brow raising. But as she spoke, he knew it couldn't be so. She was genuinely afraid of him. But why? ]
You should have looked before coming in? [ He chuckled. ] Why is that? This isn't my room. As far as I know, everybody owns it.
[ Uncrossing his arms, he placed them on his hips. ]
No. I'm not.
Hunger | District Fourteen
N-no! Not a bribe, I promise. I’m… (Ginny looked up to see whether he was teasing her or not, reassured by his smirk.) I used to be a witch, you understand. Then… Well, I’m not anymore, clearly, so… (She looked at him carefully, uncertain. When she began again she spoke at a much faster pace.) It might be silly to you, but I’m determined, and Katniss doesn’t want to help because she thinks I’m unable and Spencer’s far too busy with Damon whom I still find entirely terrifying so I tend to vacate the premises whenever he’s about anyway and Pansy’s been so stressed and I can’t ask her to do anything more and you’re— you’re a mentor! I mean, Haymitch was so fantastic he used to— (She inhaled sharply, gaze flickering quickly away.) …I’m s-sorry, I didn’t… Right. Yes, I’ll just hush, shall I? Yes. W-well, no! I may not be a witch anymore but I’m still a Gryffindor and a Weasley and for Merlin’s sake I better start acting like at least one of those two! I haven’t been either, of late. Not… Not at all, I haven’t been myself in the slightest. I’ve just been…hollow. (She took a breath, whispering,) So many people have died. (Then she recovered.) Goodness me, I’m entirely mad; you must think me entirely mad… What I’m trying to ask you, Gloss, is if you aren’t entirely unwilling, I’d really appreciate it if you might…teach…me…to…fight. Please.
[ Of what she spoke, he knew. Marvel was not himself anymore and he guessed Ginny was of the same species now. Gloss could only imagine what sort of power she had before she died and came back. But he smiled down at her anyway, shaking his head as she spoke. Gloss found no moment in her rambling to speak his mind, though he wondered what in the end she wanted. His heart fell at her confession. She felt hollow. And Gloss wanted to reach out and lay his hand on her shoulder but he couldn't find it in him. His fingers laced together and as she slowly said the words, a smile curled on his lips. ] Took you long enough to say so, Gin. So, you're telling me, you want to learn to fight? After years and years of using magic. It's going to be hard. You sure you want to learn?
Hunger | District Fourteen
Yet you did just that. But you obviously didn’t find somewhere else, which isn’t exactly a good sign, you know. Yeah.. I hope so. As soon as we get our son back- well.. we’ll feel even better. You’re welcome, One. [ He raised an eyebrow. ] A golden idiot? Why, that sounded more like a compliment. It’s a thing everyone needs to learn, don’t be stupid. You’re lucky that my schedule is free- c’mon, let’s go.
I went exploring. Let's call it exploring instead of disappearing. It sounds too spooky. No, I didn't. But maybe because I was looking for a home, instead of a place where I could make a hope. That's the way Marvel feels.. He doesn't say it but he's in pain with out his daughter. [ He let out a chuckle, shaking his head. ] Yea, that totally failed. And not to the wonderful citizens of District One. We're fighters, you know. Oh, jesus. Now? Really?
Can’t fucking take this sitting around and waiting. I’m gonna lose it sooner than later.
Pretty sure everyone feels the exact same way, bud.
Hunger | District Fourteen
You’re welcome. So what’s your name handsome?
I'm surprised you don't remember me.. But it's Gloss.
"I know you as a cocky Career, Gloss. And even if you weren’t, doesn’t erase the fact you’re not holding it to use to its full advantage."
"So what if I'm a cocky Career? It's never been a hinderance before. But, anyway, I'm not an axe man. Not enough finesse and it can be easily turned against you."
Hunger | District Fourteen
Well yeah, we couldn’t find you. Not at first anyway. So where were you? You don’t have to ask if you don’t want to know- and no, not really. But she’s getting better. Both of us are; we’re working on it. No, you just look like a big idiot. [ He grinned. ] You never learnt?
Well, I didn't mean to disappear. But, I was gonna come back. I was just.. looking for some place better. Away from all this. I didn't want to come back and live under someone else's rule. Alright. But I do want to know.. You'll be alright, man. Both of you. [ He rolled his eyes. ] Oh, well, thanks. At least I don't look like a.. [ He struggled. ] golden idiot! But no. Fishing wasn't a thing we needed to learn.
[ Cashmere swallowed hard, an uneasiness still settling around her. Gloss was the only person who made her feel small when they argued, the only person who forced her back; made her see the error of her ways. ]
Right. Anyway, I didn’t think you were, but I just assumed you might not have been eating the right things. Well, apparently we like unhealthy because we get extremely grumpy when we aren’t in the same room. [ She watched their fingers weave together easily and she felt soothed for a shortlived moment. ] Of course I know. [ Her gaze moved from him, jaw trembling almost imperceptive to someone who didn’t know the ins and outs of her nuances like Gloss did. ] I was just making a comment, but fine. It isn’t your touch I have a problem with and we both know that. So can we just.. go..?
[ His heart beat harder the longer he looked at her. Shriveled against him and his yelling. He didn't like it but he had to do it.]
There isn't much of a choice here, you know. You get what what's there. And years of training and watching what I eat hasn't just gone away either. Hah. Yea, that's true. We're too similar, you know. 'Cept, I'm a lot bigger and buffer. And prettier. [ He smiled, trying to ease the tension. Their fingers interlaced was also something that eased him. But not even their touching helped the memories of what used to happen to them. He set his gaze on her, willing her to stop. Stop the trembling of her jaw because it angered him. It angered him that this disease still had an effect on them ] Good. And yea. I do.. But yea, let's go.
Hunger | District Fourteen
Hey, you deserved it- you’re a hard man to find! She hasn’t been out much, so I guess- that’s possible. Maybe you weren’t looking hard enough. I got some fish the other day- there’s water if you know where to look.
Am I? And I did not! All I did was try to protect her. Oh, is she doing okay? Gotta ask, you know. Do I look like a fisherman to you? I have no idea how to catch a fish. The actual how to catch a fish escapes me.
[ Her gaze followed his hand as she attempted to swallow down the lump that formed in her throat. ]
Thank god, I can’t stand the fighting sometimes. Now it’s my turn to be worried; what all have you been trying to eat? Maybe we could get you some soup. You’re not gross, I can assure you of that. But let’s be honest here, bubb. We’re both stubborn. I just happen to be more so most of the time. Good and that sounds like a plan to me. [ She held her hand out for him. ] I.. I know you are. I know you wouldn’t do anything to actually hurt me. [ For a moment, she got silent, something unmentioned flickering behind her eyes. ] How could I possibly forget the one thing that I couldn’t protect you from, Gloss? I’ll never forgive myself because you have to know what it’s like.. So just— don’t. Please don’t.
[ Gloss knew how much she hated when they fought. But he yelled at her anyway. He needed her to learn how much he cared. ]
I know.. I know you don't. [ He didn't say anything more about it. He didn't want to say anything more about. ] I've been eating what ever has been around. I mean, it's healthy but it's not good. I'm not eating like.. berries off the dirt floor, ya know. Yea, and what a pair we are. It's not healthy when there are two stubborn people in the same room together. [ He took her outstretched hand, lacing the fingers. ] Good, I'm glad you know. [ His eyebrows furrowed together. More than anything, their experiences angered him. And he didn't like talking about it. ] You started it. I'm not the one who brought it up. And we are not talking about this. Not now.
Hunger | District Fourteen
Gloss. Well I could say the same to you- your sister was worried sick. And I was with Annie, if you must know. I’m going to take a guess and say that you didn’t find a thing.
Let's not talk about Cashmere. She nearly, practically, literally.. almost ripped my head off when I reappeared. Luckily, I'm an expert when it comes to trying to calm Cashmere down. Ah, forgot about Annie. And no, I didn't. Nothing.
