It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.

So many years. So many train rides. So many memories with tributes long dead. Except this time, he wasn’t ferrying anyone to the other side of the river Styx. He was only attending a party and returning home. Ostensibly. He couldn’t quite believe it.

Except that instead of traditional gaudy victor garb, he wore a trim suit and grim expression, lest anyone forget the most recent games had claimed another Lowe. Begrudgingly he had left Saffron for a moment to tend her to her own fans and found himself quiet alone – for a split second – in the last car of the train.

He heard the door glide open, sighed irritability, and then found himself surprised. “Hello, Mayor,” he greeted Kirito with open arms.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh

Swarming seas of people. Endless eyes always watching. There was no place more Kirito hated in the Capitol, aside from the Training Center perhaps. In a matter of minutes after stepping off of the train he was forced to part with Oasis and the kids. A sudden surge of shock ran down the twenty three, no twenty four, year old's spine. It was still so new that he had children of his own.

While the war of raging fans followed every victor through the stylized station, Kirito made his way towards what seemed like an empty train car. For just a mere moment he wanted a breath of relief from the questions. How was District Eleven? How was Harbinger? How was family life? Kirito already had enough cameras in his life during the months he had to bring home bodies back to heart shattered families. This entire trip was just another moment under the Capitol's unrelenting eye.

After sliding the door to the car open Kirito discovered one of the few people he didn't mind speaking to. A smile fell across the young victor's face as he hugged his friend. "Hello Mr. Mayor."

He chuckled. For some reason the title sounded a little strange directed at him. No doubt Kirito Miristioma felt the same way. Mace clapped him on the back twice and gently ended the hug. The last time they'd embraced, it had been the first time they'd seen each other since Katelyn's disappearance. Her shadow lingered, even now, years later.

Mace took a step back, offered Kirito a seat in the bench lining the back windows, and then sat himself. "So. Regalia, my sister, has been giving me etiquette lessons. I'm supposed to ask you about the weather in your district, or - since we are such good friends - it would not be impolite to inquire about your children." All this said through a perfectly straight face. Then, the barest hint of a smile: "but I ain't such a good learner, y'see, Kirito. We can just shoot the shit instead."

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh
