"You get me her, I'll pay whatever it takes." She stares at the screen, not bothering to look away between sips of white wine. "That's a hefty price." The man in the doorway claimed. "She's a victor. I'm perfectly aware of-" "But ma'am, she isn't just a victor. She's the newest victor -- untouched from what I've heard."

There are a few moments of silence as she stares at the girl on screen before she flicks her eyes over to him. "You heard me. Bring her when you come back or don't come back at all."

After the door closes she goes back to watching the television. A re-run of last year's games runs. Katelyn is the last living tribute left on the screen, and her worried features search for her allies as she runs. Blonde hair against the crystal white, blood pulling out the blue of her eyes. "Katelyn." she says her name aloud for her own satisfaction. She likes the way it tastes with the wine.

"Katelyn." she replies, smiling.

A few hours later and she has finished her bottle of wine. The finale has just finished with Katelyn standing over Margaret's dead body when she hears the door click open. "Ravi!" she calls, racing toward the door. She hopes he took her warning seriously. She hopes he has brought company.

So she pushes the door open a bit further, delighted to see the blonde hair, beautiful even when away from the snow, the blue eyes sparkling without the blood. "Miss Persimmon," she purrs.
