"I don't know about winning," he said. "But I do want to get home." He bit his lip for a moment as the image of his dad's face crossed his mind. "See my dad again. And my stepmother, half siblings. Maybe not my stepbrother," he added with a small laugh. Pax was starting to relax a little bit, getting back into his usually high-spirited mood. "At least I've kind of trained for this," he mused. "Fighting Hekili all the time really pays off in the long run, I suppose." He grinned at the other two. "You two ready to put on a show?"

The boy was still angry at that peacekeeper, apparently, and hadn't taken his eyes off of the maliciously laughing man for at least five minutes. That wasn't entirely Matthias' business, but this guy seemed like the kind of person to ally with in the arena.
Jason saw a group of kids talking together and thought it would be best to make some friends. He couldn't get very far on his own. He knew that. He walked up to one of the boys, hands in his pockets, and an expressionless face. "Hey. Jason Jackson. District 4." The way he said that, might come off as rude, but Jason wasn't big on meeting new people. He was used to being off to himself. But he knew he needed someone to count on, at least for the first couple days of the games.
He wasn't nervous at all. He never really cared what others thought of him, so meeting new people wasn't hard for him. And he figured out he didn't have to like them. Everyone loved him, and most of them never really cared what he thought. As long as they were standing next to him, they were happy.
