"I don't know what'th tho thpethial about the human age of thixthteen. Wigglerth are jutht ath capable of killing. But I'm not planning on hunting people anyway. I hear that'th dithcouraged in arenath. Mutht be why they alwayth pick up the bodieth."
He grinned, preferring to be crass in the face of death. The thought of scavenging had crossed his mind, but never in his life had he gotten hungry or desperate enough. He was more accustomed to being starved in captivity and on the run than he liked to admit. And now, he also didn't want to tempt the Gamemakers into punishing him.
"I can shoot latherth too, but.... well.... thomething tellth me the univerthe—or thith arena—doethn't like that. Every time I do thomething out of the ordinary, everything goeth apeshit. I thought it wath a fluke at firtht, but the batth had impeccable timing, and I thaw thith human girl getting weird thtuff thrown at her when she kept uthing her powerth.... I dunno. If I thought I could uthe my powerth freely, I wouldn't be athking for toolth. I'd jutht fry wingbeathtth midair."
He made a vague gesture with each of his pointer fingers in front of his face to simulate eye lasers. The blonde human girl in his vision had also borne the same unburning fire he had now, flickering like a constant warning. He couldn't see it, but he knew it wouldn't go away.
"Don't do anything thtupid, I'd like to eat batth and not the other way around. Toth the net here. Maybe I can rig it up high and drive them into it. Have you ever eaten batth?"
