Kirk Marshall
It was grubbin time in the dining hall and once again, Kirk found himself at a loss about what to eat. Unlike in the train, where most of the food had been lavish and Capitolesque in nature, the spread in the dining hall for dinner was definitely catered to each of the twelve districts. There were dozens of fish dishes next to things he assumed must have come from the ocean of district four; little things that looked like rocks but smelled like food, fancy pastries that had to be the kind of dessert they had in district one, more fruits and vegetables from eleven than he could shake his hat at, and the list just went on. But eventually he found the section of edibles pulled from his home district.
Feeling a bit more comfortable, he piled his plate with steak fries, cornbread, barbecued ribs, and then grabbed two slices of sweet potato pie. According to one of the placards near the table, the white stuff that looked like butter wasn't butter, it was something called whipped cream. It was pretty simple fair compared to some of the other things he could see around, but it was from home, and that meant comfort. He walked along the length of the table for a minute or so, until he spotted Esme. After that, he made a beeline for where she was seated.
"Ya know pardner, I wouldn't 'ave believed it, but the sweet patata pie they got here tastes just like its supposed to." Kirk grabbed a seat next to his district partner and offered her one of the plates with a genuine smile. "An they got this thing called whipped cream. "Now, I dunno why anyone would want to give cream a whuppin, but it sure tastes dee-licious!" As he dug into his own plate, Kirk kept a watchful eye on their surroundings. Even now, it paid to know what the other tributes were up to. They might all be laughing and having fun while they ate, but soon enough they'd be killing each other for sips of water and mouthfuls of food. After a few more bites, he turned to look at Esme with a look that was halfway between a question and concern. "Ya doin okay there little lady?"
