Alex was on the same page as Paisley. He hadn't wanted any Allies, opening his heart to more than just Paisley compromised his priority's. Paisley getting out was the only thing he wanted, he didn't want to wish for someone else to be leaving as well. He had been just about to storm over to Paisley when someone caught his arm.
The boy had been surprised to find Finnick Odair who was his age to be the one stopping him. "Just wait a moment." He asked as his eyes hadn't left Paisley or the blonde girl. Finnick had been taking in Paisley's features ever since he had left the girls, he had been amazed by how easily the girl acted during her reaping.
The beautiful face she had adorned by her tan skin and long hair made his heart miss a beat. He had never met someone so beautiful. So strong. This was more than just an attraction as he watched his tribute laugh once again. He hadn't seen her smile since before the reaping. It was all thanks to Paisley Laurson.
Alex's furrowed brows must have given him away as Finnick explained his reasoning. "I haven't seen my tribute act this way since before the reaping." This caught Alex by surprise as he asked his next question without even meaning too. A slip of his tongue.
"You knew her before she was reaped?" Finnick stiffened uncomfortable as he nodded tightly.
"I did." At his reply Alex suddenly felt for the boy his age, having to train and then watch someone whom you've already known die has got to be the worst job out there. He could only hope that after Paisley won no one she knew would ever be reaped again.
How wrong Alexander Laurson would turn out to be.
"Were you close?" He found himself asking the Sex Symbol of Panem. If Alex had thought the peacock was a threat, he wouldn't be standing here. Something about Finnick Odair seemed to be keeping the boy rooted in place.
"It's uh, complicated." He stated showing a charming smile before the male tribute for four came over. Finnick and Alex watched as Paisley shoved her finger into his chest and placed her hand on her hip, however as he slapped her hand away the blonde tribute from four stepped in.
Finnick sighed before walking over and Alex hurriedly following. He passed up Finnick before standing face to face, chest to chest, with the other tribute. "Lay a hand on my sister again, you'll be on your ass before your hand falls." Finnick watched as Paisley glared at the boy getting ready to say something again before her brother grabbed her wrist and dragged her away.
The protesting of the younger girl being heard by the group from four. Finnick watched as the girl he desired to know more about got further and further away. Only for the blonde girl from his district to nudge his side. "Pretty cute isn't she?" Finnick rolled his eyes before taking in the girl's appearance again.
"You look stunning C." Finnick declared wrapping his arm around the younger girls shoulders and kissing the side of her head. Unaware of how the display of affection looked to the two Laurson siblings.
