It had been about a month after the end of the Games, after the Victor had come home. Autumn didn't regret one bit what she’d done, but it’d help if the Peacekeepers weren't constantly watching her because of it. She could barely ever run into town without feeling their gaze on her back. Couldn't they just let it go? All she wanted today was some knitting supplies.
The transaction went through without incident, thankfully, and Autumn was set for the next couple weeks. But that wasn't the end of the day for the girl. After thanking the woman in front of her and dropping her purchase into her shoulder bag again, Autumn heard it again. A voice that was easily recognizable. Norman. She spun around, looking for him, which wasn't a hard task to complete when you’re talking about a giant. Everything went tense when she spotted the victor, who just so happened to be blocking her only path home. Oh well. He was talking to someone else, so she hadn't heard exactly what was said, but Autumn didn't care. She started walking. As she passed, the girl slammed her shoulder into his side, in a way that would look like an accident, and kept going.

NORMAN ROWE -- District Seven Victor

Norman had been home a month and was still adjusting to the way things were being a Victor. He found himself being looked at a lot more, and it was more than just a passing glance at his stature. He didn't like it, it was unusual and quite scary. He tried to pass it off, going to the market like a normal person living their life. Norman encountered a few old coworkers in the marketplace, and decided to stop for a chat. The group stood in the middle of a crowd, just catching up.

After what seemed like a long time of just chatting, Norman felt a shoulder land in his side. Someone had shoved into him. Wheeling around, Norman looked for the cause of it. Easy to spot, Norman noticed the girl from the train station, Aspen's relative, stalking away from him. Nodding to his former coworkers, Norman said his goodbyes and walked at pace behind her. After making it far enough out of the center of the crowd, Norman took longer steps to catch up to her. Grabbing her shoulder, Norman yanked her to spin her around to face him. "Do you have some kind of issue, girl?" he questioned her, his face twisted in anger. "You're quite lucky that I didn't smack you then and there," he said. His breathing had increased, and Norman took a step back to calm himself.

It shouldn't have come as a surprise. Sure, she'd pretended like it was nothing, but what could Autumn have expected? She tossed her head as her shoulder was wrenched back. "What's it matter to you, anyway?" She snapped at the man, "Maybe you should watch where you place your giant ass, stay out of my way, eh?" Autumn pulled her shoulder free and re-adjusted her bag. Then she tipped her head to the side, seeming to think about what he'd said. "Was that a threat?" she asked. She blinked then turned on her heel. "What's stopping you, victor? No need for empty threats," she started walking again, speaking to him over her shoulder, "I have no time for that. Some of us have work." Most of that was a lie, but Autumn didn't really care what came out of her mouth; he had no right treating her like that. "And didn't I tell you never to touch me again?"

NORMAN ROWE -- District Seven Victor

Glaring at Autumn, Norman felt a fresh rush of emotion in himself. Taking a few strides towards her, Norman caught her by the shoulder again. Wheeling her around once more, rather than yelling, Norman's hand flew towards the side of her face. Hearing the slightly satisfying crack of his hand hitting her cheek, Norman continued glaring. Leaving his hand on her shoulder, he stared into her eyes. "Do you have some fucking personal vendetta against me?" he yelled at her. He gripped both of her shoulders, staring at her with a pained expression. "I told you, I didn't want to kill her, she wanted me to do it! I'm just as fucking broken as you are at this moment!" he continued to yell. Tears were forming in his eyes as he let go of her shoulders and turned to kick the dirt. "Can I not get a god damn break from anyone!? I never fucking asked for this!" he angrily yelled. Standing still, he stared at her, waiting on a response.

"What did I just-" Autumn cut off as his hand landed across her face. By the time the shock had worn off, the girl found herself locked in place by his hands on her shoulders. Crazy bastard, he actually did it she thought, clenching her jaw while her cheek continued to sting. "You have no right to..." she had said it quietly as he yelled, but trailed off as Norman broke away. She saw tears drip down his face, but that only served to piss Autumn off even more. "There ain't no rest for the wicked," she spat the words out, taking a step back. "Assisted suicide still classifies as murder. Don't forget that," she snapped. Autumn was shaking again, wanting to hit him back, to have the final blow, the final word. But self preservation kicked in, and suddenly tears had sprung into her eyes too. She backed off down the road, trying to put as much distance as she could. Almost, just maybe, she was beginning to regret slamming into the brute.
