a note from the desk of

Mace Emberstatt

of District Ten

when you never thought that it could ever get this tough,
that's when you feel my kind of love

He'd been an idiot to agree to something Regalia said whilst partaking of his favorite snack. That thumbs up was going to be the end of him, and whatever remnant of peace hid in their home. He tapped himself on the forehead with every step he took away from the mansion. Don't agree to things when you're eating. Don't agree to things when you're eating. Don't agree...

Surely Julian would set things straight. Surely he would put an end to this circus sideshow of an idea. But what if he didn't? What if he bought into the supposed popularity of owning such an exotic animal?

He was doomed, and he knew it long before he reached the ranch. It was so innocent from the path, so normal. But what did they creed? Not cattle, or horses, or even pigs or goats or chickens. No. This one damnable ranch had made a name for itself breeding llamas, cantankerous creatures who would literally eat the shirt off your back.

Mace's face twisted into a scowl as he approached the door. "Yello? Anyone home?" Much better if there wasn't.

Tessa had done a lot of stuff in her sixteen years of living; raising llamas, organizing over twenty thousand pages in a single day, reading a complete series in two, being spit on by the llamas she was raising. Though, selling a llama to a victor was never something she had done, even if it was Mace Emberstatt himself. The entire time before his arrival she prepped herself for how to act when he arrived, he's a victor, Tessa, the money he brought in is one of the reasons you're still alive, why this farm is still alive.

Only sixteen years old, but still she couldn't mess this up.

She opened the door idly to his yodeling, shocked mostly by the extra pounds he's put on that the Capitol doesn't show exactly. It was still tall, way taller than Tessa to be matter-of-fact, and intimidating to say the least. He's killed a man at least, but this isn't about his past, just the present and this stupid llama.

"H-Hello, Mr. Emberstatt." She stood in the doorway, mostly so if he, or his gut, attacked her she could slam the door in his face. He's a dad, Tessa, he wouldn't punch you in the face, she reassured herself. Her palm was sweating against the door handle, "are you still interested in buying?"

Just get him a llama, and get this over with, Tessa.

There's really never been any point to him wishing things would go his way. Not for the last decade, anyhow. He does his best to correct the scowl, managing to smoothe his mouth into a flat line. It's not much better, but according to Julian and Pashmina and countless stylists, it plays better with the cameras. With people.

And the truth is that she doesn't seem like she deserves his bad mood. She's tiny, brittle, and he can't help thinking that she should never, ever be reaped because he wouldn't even know where to start. Except he does. He start by talking, no matter what Saffron thought. "Yeah, I'm still interested. Wanna show me what you got?" He asked, already exhausted by the effort of arranging words in a pleasing way.

And then he realized what he had just said, to a girl no less, and bit the edges of his tongues. "Like, of the llamas. Just the llamas."

It was so exhausting being around people. Next time, he was definitely going to send Sew.

"Yeah, I'm still interested. Wanna show me what you got?"

Of course, was the first thing she could think of - of course he couldn't just not buy a llama. If Tessa was lucky he'd be gone already, but if she gets this over with fast it'll only take an hour, maybe. Hopefully. "Like, of the llamas. Just the llamas." She had already gotten out of the doorway and locked the door behind her before fighting the urge to side-eye that comment strong enough to physically leave a wound. Instead of course, she just faked a smile before side stepping around him and off the porch.

"Well yeah, that's kind of my job, Mr. Emberstatt."

Mentally she was just counting down the seconds until an hour was up and she was hopefully back inside, getting back to her book until her shift was over; living through the motions of auctioning off one of her herd though, that was the simple part. "They're around back, but-" finding one to that could hold a solid Mace Emberstatt, well, "are you uh, are you buying one for yourself or someone else?"

Weren't all the victors getting pregnant now or something? Tessa could swear he had a son or a daughter or something along those lines, and she hoped a little harder for both her sakes and some llama's.
