The campfire hissed and popped, throwing restless shadows across the ground beneath the tree where Katniss was trapped. A thick, unspoken tension pressed down on the clearing. Glimmer had settled her head against the solid muscle of my arm, her breathing steady. You stood on watch, your back rigid, hands clenched at your sides—a silent storm of anger I could feel from here. My eyes opened slowly, ice-blue and alert, finding your glare instantly.

"*All quiet?*" I let out a dark chuckle, savoring the way your composure frayed at the edges.
