About as far as Oscar had determined, drinks were one of the few ways to get through each new game cycle, particularly since everything had changed. It was easier, now that she did not have to worry so much about her tributes dying for good, to lose herself in wine instead of in scanning the broadcasts for her kids at every second.
Once there had been a time when you worried more about getting your tribute home in one piece before you worried about getting your victor's head back on straight. Now, instead, you worried about putting their heads back together, and you kept on doing it, while hoping you had done enough to get them out of it for good, and being worried your training had condemned them to being idiots in the arena, and their being kept in sooner.
Sighing, she turned a little, noticing the tribute behind her as one she'd actually seen fighting for a while.
"You weren't so bad," she remarked, seeing a need to give some credit where it was due. She hadn't thought of him as brilliant, or very good, but he hadn't completely mucked it up either. It deserved...something.
