need someone to
numb the pain

"You're the boy from Seven," I said, more for my own memory than the dark-haired boy sitting across from me. ~~(Hopefully.)~~ His district partner had sparked interest within Hedvig, though I had yet to see why exactly. All she was to me at that given moment was a quick tongue with pretty blue eyes and calloused hands.

I wondered if the boy sitting in front of me was like myself: a worker bee for his district. One that went through the daily motions as expected of him by the Capitol, by his peers, possibly even by himself. I found it unfair that people were forced to become cliches in their young lives, that each of us was born with a label on our backs that, if ignored, would result in punishment of some sort.

While I didn't particularly care about the system at work, I did care for my own tongue and for my own life, brief and quiet as it may have been.

"So, are you like a lumberjack back in District Seven?" I asked, pulled a piece of toast apart with my teeth.

I looked up as soon as the boy who was sitting across from me spoke words that mostly glossed over my head. I stared at him for a few seconds, before slowly nodding, wondering why he was talking to me at all. The boy was from District 4, that much I remembered. His name, his family, his reaping all meant nothing to me so I didn’t bother remembering any of those. In fact, I didn’t even know why he was talking to me.

His question managed to grab a laugh from me as I mulled over the word “lumberjack.” I guess that was what I was; I had worked in the woods and cut down trees when I was still in District 7. But I had never thought to call myself a lumberjack. “Yeah, I guess.” I said shortly, putting another bite of my food into my mouth. It made me suspicious why he was asking me that question. “Why do you want to know?” I asked, trying to seem innocuous but holding my ground.

"I was just wondering," I lied, deciding a rant on how unfair it was for us all to be expected to work in a specific field wasn't the best idea. It wasn't exactly something to discuss after just meeting a person. I did, however, take a mental note that the boy was probably half decent with a hatchet and knew his way around the flora and fauna of Panem: perhaps even more than I did.

For a moment, I wanted to ally with him. For a moment, I forgot that I already had two allies, one of whom claimed she didn't exactly get along with him. Why? He seemed nice, and so far my first impression of him was far better than the bitter, frankly rude one I had gotten of Margaret.

"I'm Lex, by the way." And you seem pretty cool, I wanted to add. Suddenly I hated how gentle-natured I was. I hated that there was now a large number of people in this building that were going to die soon, and I hated that a decent percent of them were people I did not want to die, and that in order for me to go home, part of the death would be at my own hands.

I'm Lex, and dammit, I don't know how I am going to kill these people.
