Secret glances
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
District 1 and 2 are both volunteer districts, plus the occasional volunteers from 4. They are the richest districts in panem because back in the dark days they surrendered first. And ever since they've been the Capitols lap dog doing whatever they wanted.
They are the most like the Capitol in which they actually enjoy the games. They like watching it, betting on it, training for it, and volunteering for it.
It was no shock when a 17 and 18 year old both volunteered from District 1. Still, Seraphina had never understood why they would do subject themselves to the games. How could they be fine with murdering other children?
One by one, they watched the other reapings, the names called, volunteers stepping forward or, more often, not. Danny sat, watching the careers with a dreamy look in his eye.
Then it shows District 4's reaping and Seraphina winces as she sees herself on stage. Her chin held high, straight posture, hands tucked behind her back. It appears as if she was calm. As though she was not just sentenced to slaughter like a poor lamb.
She listens to the commentators as they make up some horrible saying on what the butterfly sitting on her shoulder represents. It is clear in their tone they believe she has no chance.
Then Danny's name is drawn and they mention the possibility of two district four tributes winning back to back. They show the two partners shake hands. The loud applause. And it switches to District 5.
"That butterfly thing will get people interested in you Seraphina. In fact, maybe your stylist tomorrow could incorporate it into your outfit somehow," Paige spoke excitedly. "Turn you into the Butterfly of Panem! Oh I can see it now this is so exciting!"
She gave a polite smile in return and focused her attention back on the screen as the other reapings are shown. A red haired girl from District 5 who's presence embodies one of a fawn.
"A girl from 7 won two years ago right? The one who acted scared?" Danny asked, his eyes glued to the screen as the two tributes appeared.
"Yes! Johanna Mason I met her last year," Paige told him. "She's....intimidating to say the least."
Finnick and her had gotten close since they won back to back games. He'd considered her a friend but she might just throw an axe in his face if he ever mentioned it out loud.
