Whitley loved the banter and giggled at the words of Crow. The way he tormented the woman. She slipped from the seat as the lady went back to her nails. His gentle words calming her nerves. Sliding into the lowered seat she smoothed the dress over her backside before having a seat. "Thank you... I know you all are busy and you don't HAVE to help me out, but I'm really glad you are." Her gaze turned to Luna, "You too. I mean if I had to wear that dress in front of everyone I'd have just died."

"Do whatever you'd like... I'm putty in your hands Crow." She blushed using his name. It was such a difference than being at home. She tried putting the fact that she had volunteered to basically die for the fun of those here, like Crow and Ryan and Luna. It made her sad that while they might think of her as someone it wasn't necessarily a person. Basically a toy, wound up and sent off for their amusement.

Hating that her thoughts caused a frown to form as he worked on her hair. She cleared her throat and spoke up. "So how long have you done this?" Fixed up Tributes for slaughter... she said in her head. While her district was known for being pets it wasn't exactly the thoughts of all. "M-my brother came through here about ten years ago... Roger... maybe, maybe you knew him?" She asked softly, willing herself not to cry in front of these people.

Ben was almost done with everything until he saw seph come in. He eyed her up and down a little to see if you was going to be able to win this game but for the most part wanted to know if she would a threat to him or his plan, having hatched a scheme to try and get over in the capital. She, who he guessed seph was by her tomboyish look, didn’t seem all that interested in being here or the fact that they will be killing each other for fun here which didn’t bother him he was more than happy to go along to not notice her if that what she wanted.
Things were going well until Luna and her big mouth comes in with someone else with her. God she would be a lot mellow if she had a strong boyfriend to take that bitchyness out of her. “You use to have soul, oh wait sorry. You never had one did you?” he said disliking her more and more every time she opens her mouth to say something. “I’m Ben,” he sat down away from the stylist chair and in a chair close by “So when do we go and eat so I can meet the guy who read The Most Dangerous Game and thought he should do the same thing?” Ben wasn’t for the waiting game, and he wasn’t finished what he was building when he got dragged so he was aching for something to do.

Ryan looked as Seph showed her how big Coal was and she smiled inwardly. He was the perfect size for what she had in mind and if her and Crow worked together she was sure they could get her plan to work. The woman was selfless and although she barely knew Seph she was going to try her best to help the young woman out. When Seph told Ryan she would stay there the stylist smiled, "Alright sounds good we can walk down together and no make up I kind of figured that I'm not too fond of it either I wear eyeliner on occasion but that's only because it brings out the color in my eyes" ,she stated. "I'm glad you want to be friends I need someone like you in my life you're calm and quiet....real, it's refreshing" ,Ryan told her. The stylist got along better with her tributes then anyone in the capitol, besides Crow and that was because everyone in the capitol she had encountered were total loud mouthed, egotistical, materialistic morons and she couldn't stand them.

"I'm thinking of giving you a layered look Whitley maybe put some highlights in" ,Crow told her as he smiled and raised the chair a bit. Crow then grabbed his scissors and got to work. The man was quick with his hands and within about fifteen minutes he was finished layering and onto the highlights. "Alright we have to let the dye sit for about five minutes then I'll clean it out and style it" ,he told Whitley. "You are going to look fabulous"!

Crow then looked to Ben and gave him a smile, "You're ready to go whenever you want to kiddo some of the tributes should be walking into the dining hall soon along with their mentors and other capitol members, I think MacNimare is there now he's always early" ,he told the young man. "We'll all be down soon just gotta finish up Whitley's hair then we're heading down".

"Want me to wait until everyone leaves before I get changed?" ,Ryan asked Seph. She didn't want to leave the young woman alone with everyone else knowing she was most likely nervous around them. "I already have my outfit set just gotta put it on then throw on some eyeliner, or not" ,Ryan continued with a small laugh.

Feeling the gaze of the District 3 boy, Seph's shoulders showed a bit off tension as she wondered what he was going to do. Talk to her? Come up and try to shake her hand? Thankfully, it seemed as though he was just sizing her up and she relaxed. Returning her focus to Ryan, she smiled slightly, and this time it lasted longer than a blink. The softer-spoken Ryan said something that really Seph had never heard, being always avoided with her quiet demeanor and deemed "creepy". It was... nice to get the perspective of another... person.

At the mention of her eyes, Seph lifted her gaze and met that of Ryan's for a moment and she nodded firmly once. She had lovely eyes; a light blue that reminded her of the flowers that would grow along the edge of her house. "You have pretty eyes," she said, "like little... flowers. I like them." Seph stated it as a fact, like how one would say that the sky was blue, or the grass was green. There was no flirting fakeness behind it, only genuine words. Though, it would be a strange analogy to anyone but Seph.

Pausing, she looked over the crowd with a slightly furrowed brow before tucking her legs in on the chair and blowing out through her nose. The people seemed occupied enough, and things had definitely calmed a bit. But it was not without reluctance when she said, "I will be okay. You can dress."

Seph's comment made Ryan smile brightly, "Thank you, I've never heard they looked like flowers before but that was really sweet" ,Ryan told her. "Alright if you're sure you'll be alright I'll be right back ok" ,the stylist stated before giving Seph another smile and making her way over to the wardrobe closet. On the way there she shoved past Luna making the woman gasp in shock.

"You could say excuse me you brute" ,Luna yelped before shooting a glare at Ryan.

"Luna please go down to the dinner ok they might need you for something and you're up here filing your nails" ,Ryan told her hoping she would leave the room.

"Hmm you're right I should get going" ,Luna stated before putting her nail filer away and walking out of the room.

Ryan rolled her eyes then grabbed an outfit from the closet and headed into the bathroom to change. After about fifteen minutes Ryan came out of the bathroom dressed in a simple but dressy outfit. She never liked to get overly dressed up for these dinners or any capitol celebrations but she didn't go looking like she didn't care either.

When she got to the mirror she applied eyeliner then sprayed herself with a fragrance that smelled like vanilla. It wasn't too strong, in fact if someone wasn't close enough to her they probably wouldn't even smell it. She then turned to Seph, "I'm ready to go whenever you are" ,she stated before giving her another friendly smile.

"Ok, I already said I was putty in your trustworthy hands Mr. Crow." She blushed up at him as she caught his eyes in the mirror. She watched him work, pausing only to look at the man that came and sat near her in the chair, Luna had obviously rubbed more people wrong today, than right. Whitley smiled at the man named Ben, up until now he'd been quiet. "Hello Ben... I am Whitley." She didn't understand his joke and smiled politely....

She smiled back at Crow, "Alright, sounds good." Blinking she turned her chair slightly so she could interact with the other male. Some where already there, she thought sadly, knowing Michelle was one of those. Emme was sure to see to it that she had the most sponsors and the best of everything. No matter any plans the girls had worked on the Aunt was set to interfere.

"And we'll be done with my hair soon... you see how quick he is." She smiled, excited to go upstairs and reunite with her best friend. Even if that was out of the question she could make new friends, surely others were more friendly. Besides Michelle there were four others from her homeland and well, she knew them by name if not by name. For now she was at the mercy of this stylist before being released to roam freely at the dinner.

"You all will be there too..." Whit started to ask.

"I know, they shouldn't be allowed... riff raff roaming amongst the diamonds and pearls." Luna sneered. "Ridiculous!" She huffed and turned toward the mirror to fluff her hair and freshen up her makeup. "Just like putting a monkey in a suit and calling him stylish, HA... it's all the suit and NOT the damn animal." She winked at her reflection, "Fabulous!"

Whitley shook her head and looked first toward Crow and then to Ben, "That's not what I meant..."

"Sure it is, only District 2 would understand having to mingle amongst the little people... the commoners. Especially since you are the pet." The woman smiled unkindly, "I'm not needed here I need to go and mingle... wish me luck." She sauntered away in a cloud of perfume and hairspray.

"I'm not a pet... I'm a person just as you.. well no, just like everyone else." Whitley stammered after her retreating back. She was met with only a sharp giggle. Sighing she sat back in the chair. This was all a mess, so much for being the sweet girl if she kept getting her words twisted around like this.

Seph sat comfortably in the styling chair as she waited for Ryan to dress. She glanced at Whitley, and then at Ben, but hardly kept eye contact for long before glancing away. It was with her ears that she observed Luna's cruel words directed to the District 2 girl. Seph did not feel sympathy, though the girl looked baffled and hurt, but rather she was confused that she allowed the cotton-candy woman's words effect her so. It was funny how easily people let themselves be hurt by the opinions of another, coming from someone who hardly cared about most other people.

When Ryan came out, Seph looked at her and that same mute smile touched her lips. She looked nice, even Seph had to admit that. With a small nod, Seph rose from her chair and looked at the slight rumbles in the slacks she wore from sitting criss-cross in the chair, though she didn't really bother to smooth them out. It was then that she caught the sweet smell of Ryan's perfume as she walked by. It was nice, subtle, and it didn't hurt her nose. With a soft nod, Seph fell to Ryan's side and walked along with her to the exit of the styling room, but before she left, she paused at Whitley's side and said, "Don't get bothered by words from people who shouldn't matter to you."

And then they left.

Crow had finished with Whitley's hair rather quickly and spun her chair so he could get a good look at her from the front. He brought his hands to his mouth and smiled from behind them, "Fucking fabulous" ,he stated excitedly. When Seph walked by with Ryan Crow smiled at the young woman's words and immediately knew why Ryan liked her. "She's right honey don't be bothered by her or anyone else that doesn't matter their opinions mean shit as long as you're happy with yourself fuck what a hater's gotta say" ,Crow stated before lowering Whitley's chair and holding out his arm. "May I escort you my lady?" ,he asked with a bright smile.

Ryan led the way out of the room and Crow took off in another direction, "He knows shortcuts to this place so he'll be at that dinner at least fifteen minutes before we even set foot through the door, I hope you don't mind I don't exactly like to rush to the capitol's celebrations" ,Ryan explained.

Whitley took a deep breath and looked up as Crow spun her. Tears were in her eyes from Luna's comments.

The other tribute, the silent one spoke. Deep blue eyes flitted up and around the soft lovely face of the girl. Giving a wide smile she nodded, "Thank you." It was a good bit of advice. Whit straightened her shoulders and let the emotion roll off of her. Lifting her hands she dried away the tears.

She waved to Ben, "See you there."

They were alone, it would be short lived but still her heart pounded wildly in her chest. "I'm still not a pet, that hurt." She smiled and rose, placing her hand on his arm and rising to her toes. "I would love that."

They stepped out the door together, her laughing and him leading the way. Apparently he knew a short cut. "It's that way everywhere, all the Districts think we bow to the Capitol. But it isn't always the case, for my family it all changed when Roger died. My parents were pissed that I volunteered, but I trained and well... I just couldn't let Shelly do it alone."
