Extemporaneous Excursion [Sam]

She smiled slightly at his first comment. When he told her the second thing she was puzzled though. "Why would he steal if he had enough food to live?" She asked. She would have been hurt by his comment that men like him should be dead because that was kind of what she did but then she remembered that they were two seperate cases. She stole food because she didn't want to starve to death in the woods. She was already about ten pounds underweight and all she wanted was food. But this man stole even though he had enough food to support himself. Plus, she hadn't stolen much food. She still thought the man didn't deserve to be killed though. No one deserved the death penalty. Especially when they were killing them. It was two different things. But it was odd. Why in the world would someone with food steal more food? Of course, this man could have just been incredibly idiotic.

She nodded. One of the benefits of living in solitude in teh woods was that she didn't have to do stuff like pay tesserae or enter the games. Ever. She was safe from that stuff. Of course, she also had to get her own food and survive on her own. But at least she wasn't trying to be murdered 24/7. "Aren't you afraid you'll get picked?" She asked. She would be. And she wasn't afraid of much, but she would be terrified of that. She'd kill herself the minute she entered. Just get it over with. Because she knew she would never be able to kill anyone in there, even if they tried to kill her. Which they'd have to. But maybe she could just hide until they finished everyone off but her. She could do what she did best. Hide in the shadows. She could just picture it. The second to last tribute thinking that he or she was the last one. Relieved and ready to go home. And then being like, "Wait....why isn't anything happening? There's sill another tribute? Damn!" She grinned sightly.

She nodded and smiled slightly. "You're brave." She would have done what she always did. Run. She hated confronting anything. When her parents fought she always disappeared to the town square so she didn't have to watch or hear. SHe ran to teh woods partially because she was sick of her life but partially because she was a coward and she was afraid of so many things. She was selfish to. She knew that. She knew that she should have stuck around to take of her brother but she left instead. And she hated that about her. But that was who she was. She couldn't help it.

She nodded. "You don't?" She asked. It seemed to her that everyone had options. Perhaps the options were poor ones or were hard to see, but everyone had options. He had the option to run as she had chose. But that would be a poor choice for him seeing as he had family that he loved. And he had the option not to put in any tesserae, therefore making it easier for him not to be picked. But then there might not be enough food for him or his family. "I think what you mean to say is that you have options, but none that you're willing to use." She asked, "Are we near your house?"

She watched. This boy was intelligent. Much more so then the boys in other districts she had visited who would tease the girls and have wimpy fist fights with each other. He made good decisions and he seemed to think deeply. She groaned inside. She was getting to think about this boy and what his past was like and how he felt about the Capitol and she realized that she was getting curious. Being curious led to knowing more and knowing more led to sticking around and possibly getting in trouble. That damn kid just HAD to stick for his apples. If he hadn't then I would already be gone and we would still be two seperate people in two seperate worlds. She thought. But at least she was getting food. She wondered if he might be thinking about her previous offer. The one where she worked and he gave her food and housing. She sighed and sat down on the grass, trying to think about why that boy had stopped her from stealing that apple. He could have just let her go. So why didn't he?

She nodded and took it eyeing it hungrily. "It's great, thanks." She look at him curiously. "I don't think I caught your name." She took a bite from the bread and ate. It was good and warm and filling and WONDERFUL. She licked her lips and took another bite.
