ISOBEL
k r i g e l

Isobel has invited Annie Morrisen over for dinner. She had never spoken with the Victor before, but she figures now is a good time to form a relationship with her, since she is now in the public eye and may become the future Mayor of District Four.

She's sitting on the sofa by the fireplace, reading a novel, when the doorbell rings. Isobel gets up and goes to the door, opening it to reveal her guest.

"Ah, Annie, " she greets the Victor with a cordial smile and stands aside and gesturing her to enter. "Come in, please. I'm so glad you could make it."

"My family is out tonight, so it will be just us," Isobel tells Annie as she leads her to the dining room. There are plates on each end of the long, polished dark wood table, and several different dishes are lined down the center — roasted rosemary lamb, butternup squash soup, baked carrots topped with cinnamon, and chocolate mousse pudding with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, all prepared by Isobel's personal chef.

"even stars burn out."

She hadnt had too much time to settle back into four. She tried her hardest to keep herself busy, because that is all she could do.

She was close again, and she knew it. She still had no fucking clue how they had such luck, and maybe it was because she saw herself in Perdita and she saw herself in Dom. Parts of them died. And that was just something that she was going to have to accept.

She hadnt even taken a breath before she was invited to another dinner. It wasnt in her honor though, at least, that is what she assumed. The elections were on the rise, and of course, that meant that she was going to be expected to show herself, even when she didnt want too.

Sometimes, she really did hate being a victor.

But here she was, and now she was standing there, in a blue blazer over a black and white striped top pulling the matching dark blue skirt down a bit while she knocked on the door.

She was met by Isobel Krigel.

She did look radiant.

She walked into the house, quaint was the first word that came to mind. She followed simple instructions. "What a lovely place." she said as she pulled out a chair for a moment. "The food looks good." she gave Isobel a small smile before taking a seat.

She needed to prepare for the worst anyway.

Annie's response is polite, but it's difficult to discern if she is genuine or not. She supposes that if Annie didn't want to come, she would have declined, so her being her is enough of a good sign.

"Thank you, Annie," Isobel replies as she takes a seat across from her. There is already red wine poured out into each glass, and Isobel takes a small sip from hers.

For once, the house is very silent tonight, devoid of the giggling of children and the pitter-patter of their feet as they run across the floors. For such a large house, sound travels fast; whenever Isobel's children are here, she can always hear them playing.

She is glad to have some space, and she doesn't doubt for a second that they wouldn't pester Annie with questions. The three of them are fascinated with Victors and Careers, as they hope to train at an academy once they are old enough.

"How was your trip to the Capitol?" she starts with smalltalk as she takes the ladle from the bowl of soup and pours it onto the soup dish, which sits to the right of her plate.
