Effie Trinket had always prided herself on restraint. As she sat there, watching the man in front of her flirt with some Capitol bimbo. She reminded herself she did in fact have restraint.
A cup of restraint will go a long way, her mother used to say, just as a cup of tea will.
So as Effie Trinket sat enjoying her cup of restraint, watching Haymitch bag a one-night stand, she smiled.
No matter how much she wanted to kill any woman that looked at her Haymitch that way, no matter how many times she envisioned herself using a violent and very Games-like method to kill the threat, she didn't.
Effie Trinket has restraint. And she damn well knew how to use it.
