"Yeah, the Village is on the coastline so they didn't lose decent planting land." Saw had raised her after her mother was murdered but they'd remained in the Erso homestead -- still near enough to the water since evergreens can grow in sandy soil. Jyn had only ever been to the Victor's Village once before she moved in herself, alone, but she'd always been by the chilly water.

She pauses at an intersection of corridors, trying to remember which way is toward the lift before she leads them in that direction.

"It's on the other side of the Capitol, from you." They'd had to go up and around and through the mountains just to get to the Justice Building for the reaping, loads of children bussed in to stand in their best, cleanest clothes to be chosen to be murdered once a year and then bussed back to their hometowns to keep working because the Capitol may demand they watch the highlights every night but it also demands not a second of lost productivity.
