GALLEY.

She's pretty sure she's supposed to be upset or something about her brother signing up to kill or die.

Mommy did always keep telling them to love each other, even if it clearly didn't seem to work very well given that half the time they were fighting over bed space, or threatening to kill each other's pets. Galley hadn't done much of either - she fortunately had no pets to worry over, and little opportunity to fight for anything before one of her older siblings claimed it - so she figured it wasn't the worst thing in the world in comparison to secretly rejoice a little.

Besides, Zeus had volunteered. He'd talked about going into the Games for ages, so if he was happy about them, then who was she to disagree with him instead of being happy too, happy for him? Disagreeing with Zeus tended not to get you very far in their household.

Galley presses her face to the bars in the Justice Center, sticking her tongue out at her older brother. "I hope they turn out to be everything you've ever wanted," she tells him, and even she's not sure if she means the words in earnest or in sarcasm. "I call dibs on your favorite knife. Better than Drôle snatching it, hmm?"

Galley was the last to visit me. Mom, Lane and Tess came first, then Drôle and now Galley. That left some gaps, but I didn't mind, really. I wasn't much of a family sort-of guy. Plus, it seemed to me that the only ones who cared about me leaving to go into the Games were my mother and Tess. So, why should I care about those who didn't care about me? Then again, Galley's words were a tad confusing.

When Galley spoke, I couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not in regards to saying that she hoped the Games turned out to be everything I'd ever wanted. My guess was that she was being sarcastic, but her tone made it difficult to differentiate. She knew I'd always talked about wanting to go into the Games, so I wouldn't have been surprised if she were being sarcastic or if she were actually happy for me.

Then, she spoke of taking my favorite knife. She said it was better than Drôle taking it, which I suppose was right, but I still wasn't too fond of the idea. I chuckled in response and walked over to where she was standing, getting as close to her face as I could without touching her.

"You think you'd even know how to use it without cutting yourself, sis?" I teased.

I smirked and backed up a bit, then I paused for a moment before I spoke up again.

"I'll teach you when I get back, if you can manage to find where I hid it." I told her.

GALLEY.

He leans in close. Even with the bars of the holding cell in the Justice Building between them, Zeus still manages to make her feel a little unnerved by how close their faces were. For a moment Galley can almost see him as one of the big bad wolves ubiquitous in the legends of Seven, that would come prowling down from the distant mountains to gobble up little children like herself.

Part of her thinks it'd be pretty cool to get up close with a wolf, but she's half convinced any man-eating wolves around District Seven are mostly either legends or some kind of bad metaphor about old men doing dirty adult things, because she's never actually seen any in the forest. No living ones, at least; one dead one, once, getting picked apart by worms and maggots and clearly no longer a threat at all.

"I'll teach you when I get back, if you can manage to find where I hid it," Zeus smirks. Leave it to Zeus to propose a test to her, to offer her a path to prove herself worthy of wielding the blade. Galley folds her arms and offers a defiant smirk back. This was gonna be exciting.

"Challenge accepted."
