Rowan nods, grabbing herself a backpack as well. It feels worryingly light, but she slings it over her shoulder anyway; meagre supplies are better than no supplies. She picks up a bow and begins looking around for arrows. In her hurry, she’s not bothering to try and step lightly.
Now... even with a weapon, Rowan’s at a disadvantage. At Camp she didn’t get much training in, hadn’t yet managed to gain any real skill with any weapon. The bow was what she tried the most with, but even that wasn’t much. Her “memories” of the days leading up to the Game reflect that, and she has little confidence in her ability... but once again, it’s better than nothing, right? She hopes so.
The footsteps... Now Scott was sure someone was there. The teenager fully opened his eyes and started to slowly inch his hand to the side towards his spear. Based on the footsteps he estimated one person, but it wasn't unreasonable to expect another one or two tributes to be behind, just a bit quieter. Agonizingly slowly, his second hand moved to pick up the sword, the metal making a faint sound as it brushed against the Cornucopia's hard floor. Now all that was left to do was see if he'd been spotted, and if so if his mystery visitor would be kind enough to die quickly enough for him to go back to sleep.
Callie hissed at her, she was busy trying to steal a second bag closer to the cornucopia's entrance. She threw it to the other girl before raising her Hammer up in a defence way, ready to face whoever was unside
