Where| The bay
When| Midnight mid-week 2
Warnings/Notes|

The rose is a God send. Clementine was wary of picking it at first, even with her name on it but not everything the Capitol puts into the arena's is a harmful trick, it seems. Everytime she puts the flower to her nose and breathes in air uncontaminated by the stench that has filled the arena this week she feels more certain about that.

Of course the rose isn't completely without some obligation attached; it does come with an instruction to follow and Clementine figures it's not worth finding out what will happen if she doesn't follow it. Making her way down to the beach this late at night alone is more scary than she thought it would be, so she huddles in her clothes and moves as quickly and quietly as she can.

Maybe she should have asked one of the others to come with her...

Too late now, she hops onto the sand and hurries forward towards the water, hoping it is actually midnight or close enough to it now.

Bruce picked the rose against his better judgment because he had been curious, but it had been helpful, at least. He decided to follow the instructions.

Now he sits on a rock overlooking the water. It's very beautiful, really. He knows that things are lurking under the water, ready to kill him, but it's beautiful.

He hears someone coming. He tenses, turning on the rock, then relaxes when he sees the silhouette. "Clementine?"

"Bruce?" Clementine's initial flinch from the voice and sight of someone else quickly turns to relieved delight. She changes her direction from making a direct line to the water to run to him instead. "Hi!"

She has no hesitation in reaching up to wrap her arms in a hug around Bruce's middle. "It's good to see you."

He doesn't even stiffen. He just hugs her back, patting her hair affectionately and allowing her to hold on however long she wants. "It's good to see you too. I'm glad you're okay." He looks down at her with a smile before glancing at the water. "Are you here with a flower too?"
