Marvel's Minon
Serena looked at the bag that he had presented her with and she looked through it as well. She didn't really know why he was offering it to her. She believed him when she said it but perhaps that was a little naive. She saw the items that he was talking about before handing the bag back to him. "That should be good for right now," she said as she leaned back against the tree trunk. Her eyes watched the ground carefully as she skimmed the area to ensure that they were safe.
"What do you want to do if you get out of here?" she asked as she looked at him, "I mean assuming they let one of us out. What are you going to do if you never have to go into the Arena again?" She really was interested to hear his answer simply because the Careers trained their whole lives to enter the Games. She wanted to know what really happened they were all over.

Gale watched in front of him as Alice started to do something. She had grabbed a branch and started to pull it back. Immediately Gale saw her intentions and as she let go of the branch he ducked out of the way before watching the tribute get slammed in the face with it. He slid to a stop next to Alice as he watched her approach the man. He looked to be in his early 30. He recognized him as one of the Careers. "District 4," he told her as he held his knife at the ready in case the man tried to make a move on either Alice or himself.
The man stayed down and Gale let out a sigh of relief. He walked over and lightly touched Alice's shoulder. "Come on," he said gently, "We should get moving so we are out of sight by the time he comes to. I'm sure if one of the Careers is here the others aren't far behind." He released his light grasp on her before following after Alice. In the last games, he would have killed the man, but not this time. He didn't want District 4 to see him as a monster. He wouldn't let the Capitol turn him into something that he wasn't.
