Truthfully, I've never actually been on a date before.

[64th]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You're not nervous, are you?

[wilby]

Of course not. I'm unsure of what to expect.

[64th]

You'll get to know each other, talk a little, probably eat a lot based on where you're going. Hopefully you'll have a new friend out of it.

[wilby]

You make it sounds very simple.

[64th]

It is. Especially since you're not trying to get laid.

[wilby]

Does chivalry really not exist where you're from?

[64th]

hahahahahaha
you're funny

[wilby]

how is that funny?

[64th]

chivalrous is the last word I'd use to describe my home. I'll spare you the details but people like me aren't exactly treated as equals.

[wilby]

What does that mean exactly?

[64th]

You'll be sad if I tell you.

[wilby]

I'll be upset if you hide an injustice from me as well.

[64th]

Okay but you were warned.

[ how to put this in the least terrible way? she really does want to avoid upsetting him. ]

There's a very distinct class system at home. The people who live in the Capitol, and the rest of us who live in districts. I won a Capitol contest when I was a teenager, so they gave me a big house in my district and a salary, and in exchange I make television appearances in sheer gowns and keep the presidents friends company when he tells me to. if I decide not to do those things they'll kill my brother.

[He's so upset on her behalf. Those in power, abusing that power and exploiting the lower classes-- it's always been something that bothered him. It only got further under his skin when he became a prince and could do something about it. You're supposed to protect the people you rule. Not take advantage of them.]

You're worth infinitely more than that, Cashmere. I hope you understand and believe that.

[64th]

[ oh, sweet David. his reaction is so kind that it almost hurts. she's used to people being shocked or upset but people don't usually say things like that. it takes her a few moments to respond. ]

Thank you. Most days I believe it.

[wilby]

Believe it every day. And anyone who tries to make you believe anything else can answer to me.

[64th]

You're really nice, you know that?

[wilby]

It's the truth.

[64th]

I guess I'm still getting used to hearing the truth. There's not a lot of it going around in Panem.

[wilby]

Panem! You're familiar with Miss Everdeen then.

[64th]

I am.

Did she tell you she killed my brother?

[ after he killed one of her friends but that's a detail and Cashmere is just going to gloss (HA) over that. ]

[wilby]

[a w k w a r d]

No she left that part out.

[64th]

[ way to go, charming. ]

Well she did. So I wouldn't say she's my favorite person from home.

She's alright if you like awkward unfriendly 12s who happen to be freakishly good with a bow and arrow.

[wilby]

She mentioned the districts.

Which one are you from?
