“I don’t want—I don’t need them.” Corin swallowed. “Find a way out,” he whispered. “I’ll try—for as long as—” He retreated into the darkness. Out of sight, the battle resumed. Stop this foolishness. No.

“They mean—everything—nothing to me.” The jerky movements grew more violent. “They were a gift—from a friend—I’ll kill him, boy, and then I’ll kill you, and they’ll all be left without your protection—give them back!” Corin took a deep, shuddering breath. A tiny voice, one he hadn’t heard since entering the arena, whispered to him. You can’t let these people die to protect your own. I won’t let them kill him! If you let them die, you’re as bad as they are. I have to protect him. He’s all I have left. You have honor. I can’t stop it. I’m powerless here. Not powerless. ”You are weak. All of you, too weak. This games must have a victor, and one of you are—please. They’ll kill him. They—” Corin swallowed. “You need—to find—a way out.” He’ll die. Maybe not. They’ll all die. You don’t know that— I said I would protect them! I made promises, Oaths! I’m proud of you, Corin. Though it was hard to tell from a distance, Corin’s eyes seemed to mist over. Then it faded, and he continued calling for bets and a fight. *** “Corin,” Quinn said, his voice breaking the silence of the closed bar. “Why don’t you have a family?” Corin blinked, startled at the question. “I used to.” Quinn nodded. He looked almost wise, except for the smudge of something green on his cheek. “Don’t you want one?” Corin smiled, shoving away the memories of a brother he’d once had. “I got one. You boys.” Quinn blinked, and Corin ruffled his hair. “You’ll get it someday. For now…keep your feet off my tables!” Quinn squealed as Corin shoved him to the floor, running away. Corin chased after, their laughter filling the dark room. This is all the family I need.

For a brief moment, the mask shatters. Corn suddenly looks young. He looks heartbroken. He looks furious. “Give those back! Give…” his voice cracks. “Please, he never…” then his face hardens. His expression turns bemused. “Why should I care about some silly dice?” Fool. You’re getting in the way. Your friends will be punished for this. You will not touch them. You will NOT TOUCH THEM! Corin turns away, his movements jerky and his face twitching as he’s caught in the internal struggle. “Get out—you must die—don’t hurt them—Fight, tributes.” Corin spat angrily. “Fight. Now.”

Write!!!! I’d be able to focus so much on it because I wouldn’t have to worry about not making enough from publishing books. I’d also buy so many ludicrously expensive bikes you’d be amazed And then I’d probably use way too much gas and buy way too much food but um yes

They’ll be dead soon enough. Then a smaller voice. Protect them… Don’t. They don’t have to die. Wait. I’ll give you the signal if something needs to be done.

@The Bookwyrm Gavin doesn’t respond. I don’t need him. I never have. He hated that something in him still hurt.

“Petty,” Gavin mutters. “Petty, petty, petty! All of you, so absorbed in shallow things like family. You can’t fool me. I’ve known real men and women. That’s what I’m making here. Trying is right. All you ever do is try. Until you learn to succeed, you can s-stay away from me.” He stomped off. “I don’t need a father.”

“You don’t understand,” Gavin growled, pushing his hand away. “None of you understand. You don’t know what it is out there. You’ve never lived on the streets. You don’t know. So stop pretending to be so wise. You know nothing of human beings.”

REAAALLLLL ok ok it’s actually so scary what happens when you aren’t sleeping though Like I haven’t really slept in the last two days (flipping your sleep schedule around is scudding hard) and I’m having like…issues with my inner ear or something? So my balance is off, not in a way I notice except that every time I stand up I feel nauseated. Also, my emotions are everywhere. it’s terrifying how much we rely on sleep

Gavin gritted his teeth, speaking softly and firmly. “J'essaie de rendre le monde meilleur. Votre faiblesse nous retient tous.“
-
“I don’t need your help,” Gavin said. “I never have.” You’ve been…useful in getting me where I am. A stepping stone is all you’ll ever be.

I do. “Of course I don’t.” Then prove it. “Fight, tribute.”
