[Ginia takes her time reading Clove's post, the messages that come in. It's horrifying to hear, would be for anyone, but she can't judge. Not when one of her best allies and friends grew up in a barracks and was a child soldier, a mercenary by sixteen.

Her world doesn't have games, but it's not any better.

But Panem... she remembers Peeta mentioning the place. And she remembers the girl from her own post too.]

Skills you can always learn. May never get as good as someone who's used them all their life or may turn out you're a natural. But mindsets, people always forget about those. You can't learn those, not really.

Train them well. They're your responsibility now. Make sure they know enough so they don't get hurt, don't die.
