[Apollo looked down at his own bracelet to check, before showing the number to the kid: 7. Better, but not by much.]
If I'm lucky, then I get to eat after this round. (About time, too...)
[...Maybe he shouldn't have said or thought that, though, when others weren't so lucky. The kid would be close to losing water if he ended up being betrayed, which was more serious than not getting to eat. (And it wasn't like getting to eat was guaranteed for himself, anyway.) Maybe Apollo should have tried to say something more optimistic, then? This was a kid he was dealing with, after all. He could imagine how scared he must be right now.
And not just because Apollo was also pretty scared.]
...W-well, either way, we'll both be fine no matter what our opponents pick, right?
[As fine as anyone could be in a situation like this, anyway.]
