It was only their second day in the arena, really- they'd dealt with the scaled reptilian creatures who'd jumped Tune early that morning, which had left pretty much the majority of the day for them to explore at their own leisure. Their aimless walking had slowly gained a curve and now he was fairly certain they were all headed back where they came from and all this walking was just to make it feel like we had something to strive for just a while longer.

It was true that he'd learned to hate having idle hands here, that every time he was still he became convinced there must be something more important that he could be doing that would better serve him in the days to come.

He had a hard time believing they'd ever catch up with enough time for the poor thing to ever fly, but the Capitol had ways of making methods for the madness of their monsters- He didn't like to think of her as a monster, though. The child of one, maybe. The remnants of one. Not a monster herself though.
