Coriolanus eyed him and simply stared. "I really don't want you to get turned into an Avox." Panic set in and Sejanus twitched awkwardly. "You're welcome." His face burned and Coriolanus stood to leave, just as Sejanus remembered something.
"Hey," Sejanus grabbed his arm, and Coriolanus froze. "Your tribute, Lucy Gray sure is something. Mine is too. Another thing." Sejanus bent forward and whispered in his ear. "He's...from district 2. I know him. He was my classmate. I can't bear to look at him. Please, will you trade?" Sejanus watched Coriolanus think it over. Sejanus was hoping to watch his eyes crinkle and smile and- "No. Apologies, but I think this girl will be an amazing help." Sejanus cast his eyes down but didn't say a word.
"Understood. Thanks for...considering." Coriolanus stalked back to the class, leaving Sejanus completely horrified that this was Coriolanus' lasting impression of him.
