I'd do anything for her.

Anyway, I won. The boy from my District, Peeta, and I... we made a risky move, but ended up being the first dual winners.

[partialities]

Of course you did, you had the utmost goal in mind, to return to your sister. My brothers would do the same for me if they had to, I do not doubt it. The love of family is stronger than most other things.

[ her smile softens ]

I admit - you will forgive me, Nova, it shall sound so weak of me, I have grown use to their protection. It is very odd to be here without them, I do miss them so.

[takeabow]

[ squeezes Marge's hand ]

I can imagine that, yeah.

Well, I'm not a brother, and I don't think you have anything to worry about, but I'd do a lot to protect my friends, too.

[partialities]

This realm is not simple.

[ a soft confession, not one she'll easily make ]

In my own realm, I have my brothers and their men, my house's name and strength, here - our name means very little. Especially with only me to speak for our cause.

[ she smiles a little ]

I suppose it is a lesson in humility.

[takeabow]

Do you feel threatened here?

[partialities]

No, no of course not.

[ she smiles, squeezes her hand ]

There are - many here from my realm, some of them - I admit, I must not be their favorable company but I do not reckon they'll ever hurt me.

[takeabow]

Okay, well, let me know if you do.

[partialities]

You shall come to my protection?

[ asked with a tiny, indulgent smile ]

[takeabow]

Well, context matters. But maybe.

[partialities]

Well! if I have such a clever and gallant friend protecting me - maybe.

[ the last word is mostly to tease. ]

I shan't ever be frightened of anything.

[takeabow]

It's very likely? Sorry. I don't mean it to sound like I wouldn't be reliable... I'd want to protect you.

[partialities]

I am only teasing.

[ she smiles, sits back and takes off her shoes ]

You are a true friend, Nova. I trust you entirely. I hope you could one day trust me just as well. Though I am no warrior and have little to offer but gowns and hairpins and mayhaps advice.

[takeabow]

In my defense, it's nothing personal. I don't trust very many people. Warriors least of all, so in that way, you have an advantage.

[partialities]

It is alright, trust is a dangerous thing.

[ when placed in the wrong hands, it could be deadly, fatal. it would make the differences between a good player and a naive, dead one ]

I understand.

[takeabow]

Maybe that's why we get along.
