Nightmares And Seashells

chapter eighteen

Avery looked at the other tributes as she was listening to the trainers talk about exercise and combat practice being important but to not forget survival practices as well because infection and exposure can kill just as easily as a sword.
Thinking 'half these idiots aren't even listening and the other half look ready to wet themselves.' With a roll of her green eyes.

Avery decided to start with edible plants and fire and shelter making first.

During lunch she took her time to see what alliances had already started to form, and who looked calm moreso than others.

after lunch moving on the the obstacle course then finishing up ways of water purification and hunting snares.

Over all she didn't seem to have trouble with anything and even took notes on a few things to study in the evenings lead up to the games.

She didn't talk to anyone nor make eye contact. Except with Jasper. Occasionally rolling her eyes at him and pointing discreetly with an 'are you serious' face at other tributes. Making him nearly laugh a few times before walking up to her at the camafloge station and whispering a quiet

"Winter's cut it out before I offend someone meant to kill me in a few days!"

She snorted but agreed to 'chill' none the less.

Finnck after his very long hot shower, felt slightly better. Only after scrubbing off what felt like 5 layers of skin.
Coming out of the steaming bathroom after in nothing but some comfortable sweats.

He noticed a cup on his nightstand. After picking it up. The smell immediately reminded him of home, making his shoulders relax.

Avery.

A smile crept up to he face making him gasp out a laugh.

This girl is something else.

When the cup of tea was empty, and he'd gotten a shirt on. He went out to talk with Mags while they waited for their tributes to come back, and discuss what they'd learnt.

Once they got back Jasper and Avery were playfully shoving each other on their way out of the elevator making Liberty behind them groan.

"Would you two behave for five minutes!" She scolded, making both tributes halt their actions and turn to the woman.

Avery spoke first bowing to the woman making her immediately flush.

"My sincerest apologies madame! However shall you forgive me?" She said another fake capital accent falling from the girls lips.

Jasper was quick to follow his larger Fram falling on one knee then bowing his head to be closer to Avery's hight.

"Quite right you are Winter's! Shame on the both of us! His deep voice not quite as posh as her own but hilarious none the less.

Finnick couldn't stop his laugh. Earning a quick glare from Liberty before she turned back tothe still bowing tributes in front of her.

"Right, well that is quite enough of you two for me! Go shower the pair of you!" She demanded.

As avery and Jasper stood again the both high fived each other before they separated to their own rooms for showers. Avery sending a wink to Finnick and Mags on her way by.

"I saw that!" Liberty called after them as she huffed and harshly landed at her seat at the table.

"Oh I need a drink." She complained rubbing her temples with her dainty pink fingers.
