And who are you? (open)

Tom notched an arrow into his bow. He should just shoot her now. The death would be quick and painless. But he needed another hunter to help check his snares. "Tom West" he replied as he stepped from behind the tree. " Who are you?"The girl in front of him heldher knife while he aimed his arrow. " Could you help me check my snares? I could use a hand."

Tom thought for a moment. If she doesn't know how to create snares without her surroundings, she wont really get any food for her family. "I can help teach you how to make snares Crys, if that is fine with you. I can also give you half of my haul. I see that you don't have any game." He lowered the bow and gestured for her to follow him. he then disappeared into the woods with his new accomplice following behind him.

Tom flashed her a smile and said, "I insist, usually I have too much food for me and my brother. I should have plenty to trade and eat plus enough for your family."
He kept on walking in silence after that with his new friend, Crys, behind him. He stopped by the first snare in the area to check it out. His handiwork had caught three squirrels and a rabbit in the deadly snare.
He pointed out some of the main parts to Crys and told her how to make them out of her natural surroundings. Thorn bushes thickly interwoven to create a net where the animals were caught and eventually killed themselves. The vines that pulled on the net to make sure that all of the animals wouldn't be taken by others.
After getting his animals out he reset the trap all the while showing and telling how to make the snare so it could be reset. Crys looked confused so he helped her make one herself.This is what Tom needed, someone to share his craftsmanship with. But one question was tugging at him that he desperately needed to know. He finally decided to ask it.
"What district are you from Crys?"

staring from Kales hiding spot he listens to these 2 people talking wondering if they are a threat at all to him so he thinks for a while and says nothing just sits and thinks. So after a while while they are talking Kale gets down and sneaks toward them. When he comes out he introduces him self, " hey u 2 my names kale whats urs, also where u guys learn to make some snares i need to learn to make them because this gun will not last to long."

<sup>((OOC: Um, just as a warning it's against site rules to do things like controlling another persons character without said person's permission. I'll let it go for now, but please don't place words in Crys's mouth. ^-^. Sides, how do you know Crys never buys? She does what she must to survive. ;D))

Crys smiled at him, turning the piece so she could look at it from all angles. "You're really good at these! Anyway, yeah, I live in the seam." She laughed slightly. "Doesn't almost everyone?"

She shook her head. "It's just me and my brother and sister though. I moved us out of my family home and to the other side of the seam from them. All my extended family did what they could to help us get started, but it was really hard at first. Especially since I was only thirteen at the time."

She looked over at the guy who'd just come crashing into view. "Um... Hello Kale. You know, a gun's not really a good idea for the forest. Not only does it scare off game, but it announces to everyone within miles that you're here. Not exactly smart when you're breaking a law. Even if you have a silencer, I'm pretty sure the Capitol's goons have figured out how to detect a gun shot without sound. I wouldn't put it past them."</sup>[/color]

Tom smiled and took her hand. He glanced at the suns position and decided that it was time to leave. "Thanks for staying with me and helping me check the traps. " he smiled and waved at her signaling his departure when a thought from earlier came to him. He took half of his game and gave it too her as a token of frienship.

He departed after a muinite toward district 12. Then he heard her scream. Crys! He turned to where he left her and ran. He needed to help her! Why didn't Kale stick around? He thought.
