THE NEXT MORNING Nina awoke soundly in her bed more confused than ever , slowly peeling her eyes open she let herself adjust to the harsh morning light that was currently blinding the room . Steadily she lifted her self up from the bed and listened intently to the usual shrill of Ruby telling her that she overslept again , however she was met with comforting silence instead. Chucking the pile of blankets that were most likely thrown over her during the night she made her way to the dining room .
As she opened the door she was met with everyone already sat at the table eating breakfast , including a nonchalant Ruby who was picking at her food .
"Oh look who's up " Sam spoke up as suddenly all the attention was shifted onto Nina who was stood in the doorway yawning .
"Good morning your highness can i interest in some fine cuisine " He added pointing to his buttered toast and Nina resisted the urge to fully floor him . Though the remark earned him a nudge from the red head sitting next to him and Nina couldn't help but let a big sigh of relief escape her lips as she smiled at Eve .
Walking towards her usual seat at the table Nina tackled Eve into a much needed hug from behind sending Sam jolting to the other side .
"I'm glad you're okay "
"I'm glad you're okay too Nina "
"Coffee ?" Sam asked as she took her seat between Ruby and Iris who were too busy replenishing their hunger to notice him say a word .
" Yes please " She signaled eagerly as she held her empty mug out in delight
"Sleep well ?" Iris asked eyeing her curiously .
"Probably one of the best nights sleep I've gotten in this place , can't remember when i fell asleep though ". Nina mused .
"It didn't take long , you were passed out on the couch by the time we got back " Sam scoffed back with a lazy grin as he took one last bite of his food .
"So Finnick took you back to your bed " Iris finished with a mouthful of food .
Nina couldn't ignore the sudden spike in her chest when Iris mentioned his name , as if a swarm of butterflies infested her chest with a certain glee , she tried hiding the subtle smile that was growing on her face . But everyone at the table most definitely knew . •••• By the time Nina arrived to wish Iris good luck in her interviews she was already stripped , waxed and rid of any hair or impurity on her skin by the prep team . Her hair was neatly pinned into a braided up do with some curls running loose .
Nina gave a low whistle when Thalia , Nina's old stylist walked in with a dress in hand . It was a light cream colour that was off shoulder and laced with occasional jewels that depicted Iris well .
