Jerred Sonaville, Ronan's Father
"What do you feel of your son's relationship with Tribute Thalssa Pearl?"
"I don't feel anything but pride for my son right now. He is representing our district as a whole, and his girlfriend is doing the same. I'm proud of both of them."
"So do you feel it's a strategy? To keep her around as an ally? She has ties to the mentors, and that could prove useful."
"Yes, I know she has ties to the mentors. And no, I don't feel it's a strategy. Ronan would not hurt someone like that. You'll be able to discuss this with him when he arrives back in the Capitol after his win."
"You weren't there to say goodbye to your son on the day of the Reaping. Why is that?"
"I was out with my other son, Finn. Certain occupations are exempt from attending the reapings, simply because workers are needed at every moment. Finn and I were out at see, manning our position of one of the fishing rigs."
Theresa Sonaville, Ronan's Mother
"How has it been , watching your son fight like this while you sit at home?"
Theresa had her story already planned out should she get a question like this. She was able to give her response flawlessly, Nobody would know that her words were a lie."I knew that Ronan wanted to volunteer. He wanted to save a life, and now he is able to save two. He'll save Thalassa, even though she might not even need his help. I'm perfectly fine watching him fight, because I know that he'll come home to me. He would not have volunteered to save that boy's life at the Reaping if he had thought that he might not make it back home to Four."
Finn Sonaville, Ronan's Brother
"Why do you think your little brother decided to volunteer for the games?"
"He's always been that kind of person, the one to put another before himself. Alec DeWell is only thirteen years old, and he'd have never survived the games. And yes, before you ask, we all met with the DeWell family. They invited us to their home in thanks for saving their son. My brother kept that family whole. There is no greater honor in our district than that of a tribute, even if the tribute doesn't win."
Pacifica Pearl, Thalassa's Mother
"What would it be like, having two Victors for daughters, should Thalassa win?"
"It would be such an honor. I'm so proud of my girls, Thalassa especially. She's so brave, to take on the Quell. And she's doing so well. I'm positive that I'll have her and Ronan back in Four very soon."
"So you want Tribute Ronan Sonaville to win beside your daughter over Tribute Ruben Jackson?"
"If there were a way for all three of them to come home, then I'd want that. But rules are rules, and I know Thalassa would be happiest if Ronan came home with her. He's doing what he can to keep her safe, so I'm putting my faith in him to win as well.
Neptune Pearl, Thalassa's Father
"You used to live in the Victor's village, with your daughter, Netta. What was it like having to move out of the village when she married?"
"We owned a nice enough home in the ton, so it wasn't horrible to have to leave. I'll be glad, though, to move back when my Thalassa is crowned as the Victor."
Netta Pearl, Thalassa's Sister
"Your brother, Shell, died in the games a few years back. Are you worried the same fate might befall your sister?"
"That's a dumb question. Of course i am worried. But I have faith in Thalassa. She's strong. I know she can survive this."
Robert Jackson, Ruben's Father
"What do you think is going on with your son in the arena right now"
"He knows what it takes to win the games. My guess is that this is just a strategy of his. He knows what is at stake, and he wouldn't allow himself to lose."
Sami Jackson, Ruben's Mother
"What do you think sent your son over the edge? Could it be that he is the outsider of the tributes from your District at the moment?"
"Ruben hasn't gone over the edge. He's not an outsider. He's a survivor, a winner. I trust in what he is doing in the arena."
Gillian Jackson, Ruben's Sister
"Are you worried for your brother?"
"Of course I'm worried for him. I think realistically. I know the odds are stacked against him. But I have to have faith that he can pull through. He'll win, I just know it."
Nikki Walsh, Ruben's Girlfriend
"What has it been like, back in Four, while Ruben has been in the arena?"
"It's been quiet. I've spent most of the time with Ruben's family. We've all ben rooting for him together. They'll say it's been too quiet, too. Ruben was always the loudest one around. It'll be good to have him home again."
Glamour Zirconia, Cubic's Mother
"Do you think Cubic made the right choice in allies?"
"Of course she did. I think Luxe was the smartest choice. Should anything happen, he'd be able to take care of her until the end. But I trust my Cubic to stay safe. She won't need the assistance."
Aurum Zirconia, Cubic's Father
"What will you say to Cubic, should she come home?"
"I'll tell how proud I am of her. She'll have brought honor to our District, which is the greatest thing someone can do in One. And should Luxe come back with her, he'll be welcomed with open arms."
I know that there are still more tributes to go, but I'm just going to make one more chapter to fit them. I wanted to update before I left for work in the morning, because I worked hard to get this done for you guys today. People had been asking for an update, and here it is :)
Please please please review!
