When Alina was little and her father was still alive he liked to read her countless stories about Greek mythology. It was no secret that Nevan King has always been quite a history nerd and even though his oldest daughter would not admit it, she slowly grew up into one too. She spend the few free hours she had at the library or reading in her room. While training usually only made her stressed and frustrated, shoving her head into a book made her relax. When she was reading, she did not think about the things that were expected of her or the people that usually surrounded her. She was alone with her thoughts.
So, when Cato, Ikarus, Mare, and Alina finally arrived at the building that all the tributes were staying in before the games, she couldn't help but compare the size of it to what she imagined the Roman building looked like. She visited The Capitol once or twice when she was younger but she did not remember everything being so big. The buildings looked old but polished at the same time and if Alina did not have bigger things to worry about, she would have taken a few moments to admire them.
But she 𝘥𝘪𝘥 have bigger and more important things to worry about.
She brushed past Cato ── who was staring at the building in amazement that was abnormal for him because the only emotions he ever showed were smugness, pride, and anger ── and followed a grinning Mare inside.
"Come on, Angel. How do you block all of this out?" Cato asked with a childlike grin that was so different from his usual smug expression that she almost did a double take to make sure it was actually Cato walking behind her.
"Well, first I think about how one or both of us is going to die in two weeks" Alina deadpanned as she walked into the elevator, "and then think to myself; 𝘩𝘮, 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐'𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺-𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘴?"
