Inverted [3/?]
Pax, she wished she didn't have to go to this thing. What Sparrow wouldn't have given to live in a world where there were no victors and no Circle to advise them was infinitesimal; dealing with this every year was excruciating, and there was nothing she could do to stop it from happening. All she could do in the end was try to ease the pain.
"Let's go," she said quietly, turning to German with a distinct lack of enthusiasm. She wasn't going to be able to his that, she knew, but by now and managed to create enough of a reputation for herself that the others would no doubt misinterpret it, as they always did. If anyone in the Circle suspected that the rumors about her weren't true, they weren't saying so publicly; she could only assume that they would take her disinterest in the Victory as a desire for privacy. But, as always, she would need the new victor's help to maintain that illusion.
That was her risk every year. Every time there was a new victor, he or she put the others in danger of losing what little she could offer them. If they cost to play along with her deception, if they choose to lie to the Circle like Simon and Nadia and the others before them had agreed to do, the new victor would share in whatever meager freedoms she could offer them. But if this new man refused--if he proved, as Izzy had, a devotee to the Circle--she would have to take care t be never caught on to what exactly she was trying to arrange. The rest of the Circle would not take kindly to learning that Sparrow's many "appointments" with the various victors are little more than covertly scheduled downtime they weren't supposed to receive.
"Alright." German, she knew, was as displeased by tonight's impending ordeal as she was--but he was much better at masking it. "Anything else you need before we leave?"
Sparrow shook her head. "Unless I've forgotten something, no--or unless you have, which I think we can both agree is even less likely." She signed, mustering up whatever fake enthusiasm she could. "And I'll apologize in advance for anything that goes wrong."
German have her a faint smile. "Everything will be fine."
She certainly hoped so.
Simon was not optimistic. He had been with this new victor for all of an hour, and he was fairly sure already that this was not a man he was going to like. From his reaction to Simon's cautious attempts to gauge him, Simon had gotten the distinct and uncomfortable impression that they might have another Izzy on their hands. Simon want she what Izzy had been like when she'd first arrived--she was the new victor the year before his own Victory--but this man certainly wasn't acting like either he or Nadia had. He seemed to answer that something was wrong--that something very bad was coming very soon--but he hadn't yet asked what it was, and there was something downright off about the was he looked at the two of them. No one outside the Circle had looked at him like that in a long time.
It didn't bode well at all.
Sparrow walked into the Theatre with German on her arm and watched a few heads turn in her direction. That they did proved the victor hadn't arrived yet himself; very few of them would've been looking at her if their new toy was in the room.
