It hadn't taken Pruna long to find the screen that sometimes showed where other tributes were. And so she was there now, on her tiptoes studying it before it went back to the people who wanted gold.

She could see the dots that were her and Pruna, and one or two more dots on this floor but none close enough to be of danger yet. She grinned and pointed to the screen about to explain to Sandy how they could sneak up on one of them, when a rumbling interrupted her. The ground began to shake violently.

She looked around, worried. "What do that be being?"

[gruesome]

Some should have offered to help with the bandages. He was trained in that kind of thing, he knew what he was doing. He took a step forward again.

Sandy smelled like food.

Before he realized it, all his teeth were bare, and he stood very, very still, staring down at her, eyes wide.

Pruna wrapped the bandages tightly, ignoring Sandy's complaints for now. The important thing was to stop the bleeding.

She turned to Some and her eyes narrowed as she saw his teeth. Her knife was in her hand within moments, pointing towards him, a warning.

Sandy however remained somewhat unaware as the pain in her face was distracting her. The bandages helped providing her with a sense of security through the pressure.

However as she felt Pruna move and the silence stretch on she tugged an errant bandage out of her eyes so she could see the sudden stand off.

"Oh what now?" She groaned too exhausted to be scared.

[gruesome]

He held up two hands, warding her off. "No. No. I won't. I'm sorry, the blood, she's human, I have- I-" He swallowed hard, teeth clicking together. "I have- have to be away. But if you need- need me again, shout. Promise."

Pruna's glare intensified as she realised what he meant. "Yes be going." She told him, keeping the knife out in front of her, a warning more than a threat.

"I do be thanking you for the rescue." She said a moment later.

Sandy was only steps behind in catching onto his meaning and it sent another shudder through her. She'd been eaten three times already. She wasn't keen on a third.

"Y-yeah...thanks. See you later." She mumbled trying to play it cool as she mopped more blood from her face with the cape.

Even for the arena, this was too many close calls in a short space of time.

[gruesome]

He bolted. As much to get away from their stares as from Sandy's fresh blood. Three steps away and he teleported, vanishing, gone.

Pruna didn't relax until he was gone, and then she looked around, checking it was safe before she poked at Sandy's face again, continuing tying the bandages tightly.

/endthread?

[justoutrunyou]

Sandy relaxed as much as she could, which wasn't saying alot.

But that's just as well, there wasn't much left to say. They'd survived for another day.

Who knew how many more they'd have together?

yup!

Awesome end!
