Akiro looked up at her, the terror in his eyes from before being replaced with sadness, though he smiled a little. "Yeah, dreaming about you would be much better." He had never trusted another person after his mother stopped caring. He had closed himself off, never letting someone get to him the way that Ashley had. That was how he had gotten through the harried "Get well soons" when he broke his arm trying to climb a fence, the "Bandages are out," and cold ignorance when he came home bleeding. But he didn't want that anymore. He trusted Chelsea, and he wanted to stay with her. Whether that meant living or dying through the games, he didn't know. Of course, this was when the awkward silence had to kick in. At the right moments, his lack of things to say always came through.

“My name...?” She thought it was an odd question to ask in a situation like this, one where she was more focused on Jacovin’s well being. She wasn’t exactly sure about what he meant by “losing one thing after another”, but she figured it had something to do with his eyes and the force he showed earlier. “Rui... My name’s Rui...”

The silence was heavy, especially in the damp area of the temple, but Chelsea didn't mind it for once. It gave her a chance to think about how lucky she'd become in such a short amount of time. Her hands were clasped behind Akiro's back, her forearms resting on his shoulders. The silence only made the remainder of a hug last long, with Chelsea hesitant to let go. What Akiro had said had been different than what she had said. From 'a dream about us' to 'a dream about you.' It made her heart flutter a little, knowing that she was important to him instead of being one more person begging for his attention. The dark thought flashed across her mind, of the first person she'd felt this way for. And then it vanished, just as quickly as it hid came. She was willing to sit like this in silence for a while, if Akiro wanted that. She'd be willing to do anything for Akiro, she realized. And it was a good realization.

Jacovin thought carefully over the name, working his jaw slightly before testing it. "Rui... A good name. Jacovin, a pleasure to meet you." He still didn't turn his head any, but the spiritless aura had returned to him, his voice turning bland and flat. As if somebody had taken a his hope and heated it up, then smashed it with a hammer until it broke in two. He spoke no more than that, continuing to gently stroke the fur under his hand.

Rui didn’t push any further, deciding it was best not to say anything else. She simply dragged herself over to a chair and sat down in it, barely having any control on how she did it. It was almost like she fell, and she kind of did. It resulted in a loud thud before the room went silent again. As soon as she sat down, her eyes clamped shut against her will, making her drift off into a deep sleep. She knew that it was a bad idea, considering she had no clue what Jacovin’s intentions were and if he would kill her or not, but she didn’t care. She even said in the interview that she didn’t plan on going back, and getting killed in her sleep wouldn’t be the worst way to go... At least she would die knowing that she wasn’t completely hopeless, she had felt love for once in her life and that was good enough for her.

For a long while, Akiro sat still, not saying or doing anything. This was the most peacefulness that he had felt in a long, long time. He had spent so much of his life running, that he had forgotten what it was like to really be at peace. And he felt that with this girl. He felt happy. Akiro eventually broke the silence, even if he didn't want to. He looked at her and said softly, "Thank you, Chelsea."

Jacovin heard Rui sit down, the sudden thud making him jump a little. After a few minutes, he, too, drifted off to sleep. It was a blank sleep, without dreams or sounds or anything to see. It was similar to the real world, Jacovin decided. He couldn't see anything there either. It wasn't Rui's fault. Nothing was her fault. Jacovin had dug the tunnel, so it could only be his own fault. Nothing could make him think otherwise.

Chelsea smiled, Akrio's thanks filling her with an unknown joy. She still stayed still, though. She didn't want to move, not unless Akiro was in danger. And he wasn't as far as she could tell. All was quiet, all was calm. Everything was peaceful, for the first time in the arena. No more gasping for breath as she struggled to lift a water bottle to her mouth. No more brutal encounters with tributes that had lost their minds. Just Chelsea and Akiro, with peace wrapping around them. Everything was perfect at that moment, and the motion had been something without thought. Moving slowly, Chelsea looked up at Akiro, then leaned forwards and kissed him.

Akiro hadn't been expecting the kiss, but he certainly didn't mind. All thoughts of the nightmares, or of the games, or of anything really, melted away as he kissed her back. Akiro couldn't belive that this was happening, that it was possible to feel this happy. Why she would want to kiss him, he didn't know. But it was in that minute that he knew he would do anything for Chelsea, that he loved her.

Everything faded out as Akiro kissed back, everything turned into just him and her, an island in a black sea. Nothing could break them, nothing could hurt them. Not in these moments of love. Chelsea wanted to sit there forever with Akiro, with nothing but each other in the brutal world around them. Chelsea had something to hold on to, now. She wasn't doing this for bragging rights, now. She was doing this for Akiro, because he was what she wanted to go home to. He was everything to her suddenly, and nothing else mattered.

Akiro himself was just as lost. Everything had come to a standstill, and he was completely okay with that. Right now, nothing could hurt him. Not Ashley, not his own personal demons, when he was with Chelsea, he felt that he could do anything. He paused for a minute, smiling. "Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?" He'd never really seen it until now, but now that he was here with her, alone, all that he could think about was her.

Chelsea couldn't help but blush. "I've been told I look good with my hair down," she teased. Then she reached up to the small bun at the back of her head, and removed the hair tie. Running her hands through her hair as it fell, she smiled at Akiro. The curiosity from before the arena had melted away, had been replaced with love for this other Tribute. For Akiro, there was love, respect.. And fear. The fear was invisible, but it was there. She was scared of losing him, but she'd forgotten about that. The only thing that needed to be remembered was Akiro.

He still couldn't believe that this girl was even here with him. When he'd entered the desert, he had expected a basic form of survival, most likely dying to a mob or the elements, maybe another tribute. He certainly hadn't expected to end up here, with her. He brushed the hair away from her face, still smiling. "Those people weren't wrong." He kissed her again, and when he pulled back, all he could think about was everything, that in the time he had known Chelsea, she had done for him. She had given him a new sense of purpose, she had helped him learned to trust. Maybe he wasn't so much of a shadow, after all.

The blush was quick to come after Akiro said that, the second kiss only deepening the red. She could see a brand new look in his eyes, mixed with the sparkle of hope. She was proud, both of herself and of Akiro. She'd helped him see something, she could tell that much. Whatever it was, it was something positive. Here, kneeling on front of Akiro, was the perfect place. Here, with Akiro, was where she wanted to stay.

It seemed like she couldn't stop blushing, which was ironic, considering that he had been the nervous, red-faced mess when they had first met. Maybe it was the fact that he was feeling this happy for the first time, but he was a lot more calmer than he had been before. In that moment, everything seemed okay. It was just the two of them, alone. He knew there was most likely at least one camera somewhere that the Capitol was using to monitor the games, but he pushed that thought out of his head. If they were seeing it, then maybe Ashley was too. Maybe she knew that he was actually happy now, and never had been with her. Then again, maybe not. Maybe she didn't care. He looked into Chelsea's eyes as the silence settled again, a soft smile on his face.

Silence once again raised its head, blinking sleepily at the area around it. As it settled, Chelsea met Akiro's eyes. As they watched each other, Chelsea couldn't help but feel comfortably warm. Her heart fluttered again, as it was commonly doing when she and Akiro made eye contact. After a few moments, she leaned into Akiro, resting her head on his chest and letting her hands rest on his shoulders. "I love you," was all she could say.

Akiro didn't hesitate, saying, "I love you too, Chelsea," wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer. He had long since accepted death, it had become something inevitable for him, something that would take him sooner or later. But he wouldn't let anything happen to her, even if it killed him. He might be a shadow in some ways, but he wouldn't be weak for her. "I promise I won't let anything happen to you, even if we are safe right now." He didn't know how she would respond, or whether or not that would mean anything to her, but he had to say it out loud. "You're the only good thing that's ever happened to me." That, he knew for a fact.

This was the first test she had in a while where she couldn’t wake up so easily, one where she was trapped in a cage of darkness and terror with no way to escape. Usually she would be quick to wake up due to her unease and nightmares, but her body refused to do any of that right now. She was just trapped in the nightmare she had for so many years, but the horror didn’t change. All it really was was just gruesome flashbacks, but heavily over exaggerated. The scenes showed the horrifying experiment, bloody scenes, and other traumatizing memories. She had somewhat gotten used to it, but only because she could wake up from it quickly. This time, she couldn’t do anything. Her body began to shake, but very slightly, and that was about it. Even if Jacocvin was awake, there wouldn’t have been much of a way to tell what she was experiencing.

Lesia had somehow woken up, still as weak as ever. Well, at least the little amount of rest had given her enough energy to start another fire. She made a small fire and took out a stick, using it as a torch, before putting the fire out and heading off. The desert seemed like a good place right now... She slowly moved forwards with her torch, making a shield around it to prevent the wind from blowing it out. After what seemed like forever, she had made it, the blast of heat hitting her like a brick

Chelsea closed her eyes as Akiro said that, his last sentence being the last thing she heard before quickly falling asleep, pressed against the one she loved. Before she fell completely into the silent void of comfortable sleep, she managed to let out a small sound of acknowledgement and thanks to Akiro's words. Shortly afterwards, her breathing was even and slow. Inside her head, a dream was playing. She and Akiro were dancing slowly, surrounded by red roses.

While Jacovin was indeed still asleep, there was one other member in the group who woke easily. The wolf named Liali trotted slowly over to Rui, resting her snout on the Tribute's leg. She whined a little, then bit onto the bottom of Rui's shirt, tugging as hard as she dared, without toppling the Tribute over.

Akiro quickly realized that Chelsea had fallen asleep. That was good. He had gotten used to a lack of sleep, and he didn't want the both of them stumbling around, exhausted. He continued to hold her, and sat still, not able to fall asleep. It wasn't fear of the nightmares, though that still echoed in the back of his mind, but mostly just too many thoughts rolling around in his head. He glanced down at her, and smiled, before looking back up at the air. A few hours later, sleep overtook him, and this time, it was dreamless, happy sleep.

Lesia had noticed a tower in the distance, which piqued her interest. She stumbled over and laid against the wall, too exhausted to continue. Her torch went out by this point, and all she was left with was a stubby twig. She stared at the sky above, waiting for her eyes to close. She decided she would check it out in the morning, for now she was pretty sure she was safe against the wall. Besides, it was very unlikely someone wasn’t already here, so investigating it deeply would just be a waste of time.

Rui couldn’t feel the tugs, it was blocked out by the constant flashing of vivid memories, blocking all sense from the outside world. Thankfully, the flashbacks started to slow down, but that meant she had more time to see each one even more clearly. She was able to calm down a little though, bearing with each memory as it passed. Her breathing was still quick and heavy, but her shaking got less frequent

Liali whimpered again, then barked at Rui and jumped up, placing her front paws on Rui's shoulders. She sat there barking at Rui, trying in desperation to wake her up. Jacovin hardly stirred, only groaning a little before dozing off again. When the barking didn't work, Liali grabbed one of Rui's hands in her mouth, her sharp teeth indenting the flesh, but not breaking it.
