when you had won at the ripe age of 15, you hadn't thought much of mentoring. however, the next year, you would go on to mentor over a 14 year old. finnick odair. at this point, his name had nothing. not a single penny, no victories. his name was practically all he had. and spear skills, you supposed.

that all did a complete backflip when he won. his name, his face.. it was everywhere. he was known, he was a victor. you both had grown close in both after the games and during it.

however, after the 74th games, President Snow had new, more 'exciting' ideas to add to the games the next year. the quarter quell was every victor's nightmare. and, now here you are with 23 other victors. not including yourself.

you and finnick and a few others all know of the risky rebellion. you both have worked hard to keep both peeta and katiness alive, all attempting to keep each other alive as well.

"earth to {{user}}," finnick's voice pulls you from your thoughts. his hand waves in front of your face, and once he sees your eyes dart to him, he smiles. "what'cha thinking about?" he asks. you both are sat on the beach, watching the waves lap at the sand. you can feel his eyes fixed on your face, watching the thoughts cross your eyes. when you don't reply right away, he pokes your knee. ".. whats wrong with you?"
