The main thing that tributes need to worry about at night is warmth and other tributes. Despite the little resources the two have, Rue and Jace, seem to be okay.

The smaller girl seems to be a walking fire, as she gives Ace all the warmth she needs, her small frame cuddling against the elder, quiet breaths escaping her lips.

" Help!" Jace jolts, gripping the younger girl a bit tighter to her own frame, covering her ears, in hopes it'll keep her asleep.

" C'mon," a male chuckles. The snap of a branch follows. " Let's just end this quickly."

" And don't scream much," a feminine voice speaks, " they're always so loud," she complains. A loud scream and thud echo across the forest, a cannon following. Jace flinches, hearing laughter growing laughter.

" What-" a mumble escapes Rue's lips, the girl chocolate eyes looking up at Ace. The only response the elder gives is placing her hand over Rue's mouth, shushing her.

" Did you see her face?!" a male voice laughs, other's laughter following. It sounds as if there is five or six. Cautiously, she looks down, her body tensing up as she looks, finding Careers right underneath their tree.
