AS usual, Lilith had been waxed and groomed and now Leto was styling her hair in silence. Iggy and Roxie had gone off to get Lilith's outfit.
"How are you holding up?" Leto asked.
"I'm fine," Lilith said passively.
"Don't lie to me, Lily."
"It's true. I'm fine," Leto sighed at her response as Iggy and Roxie came in with black armour with her two katanas.
"How did you get those?" Lilith asked holding them.
"A little bribing," Roxie said she ushered Lilith into the changing room to put it on. Once she was finished they helped her strap on the other little bits and once again ushered her out of the room towards the parade.

Lilith was wearing black paint on her face with a small circular symbol in the middle of her forehead. The black paint smeared down to her cheeks and her hard expression didn't help her intimidating demeanour.
Lilith walked up to Finnick who was conversing with Johanna.
"You look amazing," Johanna complimented as Finnick stared at the girl.
"I know that Jo."
"Always so cocky," Johanna shook her head.
"It's self-love," Lilith said. The two looked at Finnick who was still staring at the girl beside him.
"You look beautiful Lily," He said.
"Thank you Finny." She looked into his blue eyes with a smile. She didn't really notice before but Finnick was shirtless and was wearing some type of skirt.
"Oh so he gets a thank you but I get 'I know that Jo'" Johanna mocked breaking their gazing, "Favouritism. That is all I'm going to say." Johanna marched off in the other direction and the two laughed.
"Come on," Finnick pulled her off towards the district 12 chariots.
"No Finnick," Lilith complained but stopped when they arrived.
"Katniss," Finnick called.
"Hello Finnick," Katniss greeted.
"Do you want a sugar cube? I mean it's supposed to be for the horses but, I mean who cares about them right? They got years to eat sugar, where else we if we see something sweet we better grab it." Finnick's eyes flickered to Lilith who was petting the horses.
"No thanks, but I would love to borrow that outfit someday."
"If she won't take it Finny I will," Lilith took the sugar cube from his fingers and popped it into her mouth. Finnick watched her movements entranced, "I gotta go. Jackson's calling me over for God knows what. Bye." She kissed him on the cheek and walked off in the direction of her brother.
Katniss noticed Finnick's gaze and cleared her throat.
"You look pretty terrifying in that get-up," Finnick chuckled.
