"Okay, let's all relax," she says this softly, alone with herself and the small group of dogs barking at her feet. "We go through this every morning. You all know I always pack plenty of treats." It just makes her chuckle, weaving through the yapping animals and fairly dividing the food in her basket between the animals. "Yeah, Blue, I know the roast beef is your favorite. Now sit down."

This has been her routine for the last few months. Being a professional dog walker and sitter isn't exactly an endgame goal, but for now it pays the bills. It's a great opportunity for social networking, as well, and at least she gets to waste her hours hanging out with cute pedigree dogs. They are familiar to her. A small comfort. A memory from her childhood that adapted with her. She's grateful for them being here, making it easier for her to not fixate on the things in her life that have changed so abruptly.

But then she hears the gravel behind her shift and crunch, and she looks over her shoulder to find him. Maxen Royce. "I know, for a fact, that there is no reason for you to be walking down this street." She doesn't waste time with taunts and petty remarks. Her brother might enjoy going blow for blow with their rivals, but she has always preferred the long game. She also prefers her alone time. The serpent slowly rearing back to strike.

"Unless you're trying to shadow me on how to babysit pets? Didn't take you as the nice guy type. I'm sure there's some bar missing you right about now."

MAXEN
ROYCE

There were just some rules that everyone had to follow: Don't go near the fence unless you want to risk getting shot. Don't get caught buying or selling anything without a permit unless you wanna risk getting thrown into the Detention Center. Don't spray paint 'Fuck the Capitol' on the Justice Building unless you wanna risk getting your tongue cut out of your mouth. Those were all things that everyone in Three knew, just by means of their own moral compass. Of course, Maxen had already done all of the above today and it was only barely 3 pm, but that detail wasn't really pertinent to the situation, because he was clever enough to break the rules without being caught.

Besides, he also had his own set of rules to enforce. Well, really it was only one rule: Don't fuck with a Royce. Right? It seemed like a logical conclusion, and yet Hugo Belgrave had the audacity to come to blows with not one, but two of them. The Royce family was vengeful, the serpent of their crest apt in every sense of the word, but they were also clever. They usually slithered around, minding their own business and they only attacked when provoked. Usually. They were also sneaky. In those times, they were injecting poison into your bloodstream before you even realized they were there.

"I'm plenty nice for the right person."

He was doing this for the sport, flashing his venom-laced fangs off so well that the poor girl probably mistook it for a smile- they always did, didn't they?

"Didn't your mother ever teach you not to take in strays?"

He pulled a cigarette from its pack and struck up a match.
