@provisoris learns about a certain pin.
“ You really think she'll get special treatment now? Just because of some made up kid? I don't. I wouldn't give her special treatment if it was me in there. ”
a bitter laugh escapes Maysilee's lips as she sits next to Gale outside. they'd had to cut out the broadcast after that hot mess of an interview, and she'd chosen to appear here and now because she was invested. this isn't the first time the pair have met – she'd appeared to him the first time shortly after his father had died, and she shows up sporadically since then. but ever since Katniss had gotten pulled into this whole mess, Maysilee's kind of just... hung around. she's not visible every waking moment, but she doesn't usually disappear for extensively long periods of time.
“ I can't believe they put her in that dress. And I can't believe that hideous looking pin is getting all the attention now. Mockingjays are so... ugh. Not natural, y'know? Not like Twelve. ” The statement is punctuated with a shudder, and then she turns her gaze to Gale. “ I owned that pin, actually. It wasn't mine, though. It was my grandmother's. There was another one to go along with it, a hummingbird. I think Merrilee probably lost it. There's a story to go along with that, too, but I don't feel like telling it now. Anyway, I promised Haymitch I'd give it a second chance if I survived. That clearly never happened. I get what it means or whatever – doesn't save the ugliness of the pin. Where'd she even get it, anyway? She can keep it. ”
