Thankfully he wasn't being laughed at by him again, like he was back in the District after the reaping, but he still saw the general contempt in Drake's eyes, almost certainly to say 'You're lower than me, deal with it!'.

At least Matthias wasn't the only one who hated Drake, by the looks of how Jason was looking back up at the man. Walking over towards him, Matthias could just overhear what he was saying to Celeste. "I don't think anyone knows exactly when the Games will start. At least, not one of us. For all we know, this right now could be this year's Games. I see weapons," he said, gesturing to the rocks, "but I'm not about to start killing people. Yet. I will if I have to." His voice had lowered as he spoke, becoming more of a whisper. He wasn't sure why, but it was probably best not to let many other people in on your thoughts. Thankfully only Jason and Celeste had heard him.
