"But more enticingly, who are you, Lucy and Viola from District 12?" Lucky asked the girls as Lucy put her hand over Viola's shoulder as she said, "Oh. It's Lucy Gray and Viola Greenward. And we're not actually from 12. No, our people are Covey. We're like a family. We're musicians by trade and we travel from place to place as the fancy takes us. At least we used to. Before the Peacekeepers rounded us up." Lucky kept a smile as Lucy said this. "I see. But now you're District 12." Lucky said as Viola spoke up with a sarcastic grin. "If you say so." Lucky looked at both girls and said, "Your dress is far from gray, and it seems to be a big hit with the children."
Lucy spoke up, "Oh, it is? Well, the Covey love color, me more so than most. But this dress was my mama's so it's extra special to me. Viola's dress was made from her father's suit." Lucky then asked, "Mmm-hmm. And they're in District 12?" Viola gave a sarcastic smile and said, "Well, only they're bones, darling. Only they're pearly white bones." Viola grabbed Coriolanus arm and said, "Do you know our mentor? Says his name is Coriolanus Snow and clearly, we got the cake with the cream 'cause nobody else has even bothered to show up." Lucky seemed impressed and asked, "The Gamemakers did tell you to jump in the cage with them?" Coriolanus looked at the girls then back at Lucky saying, "They didn't tell me not to. They just said that it was a mentor's job to introduce our tributes to the citizens of Panem. And I thought, well, if Lucy Gray and Viola Greenward are brave enough to be here, then why shouldn't I be, too?"
Lucky nodded, saying, "Hmm. For the record, I didn't have a choice. For the record, I think you're about to be whisked away, young man." Lucy quickly caught Coriolanus's arm and said, "Get us some food, please. Jessup, Viola and I haven't eaten since the Reaping. Do that you might get yourself a girl." This made Coriolanus confused from what she said but didn't have enough time to ask her to go into more detail and he got taken away.
