Well, that was just about the most ridiculous thing Jeremy's heard in a while.

Interesting? Certainly not in a good way. He was a basket case, he panicked over cricket noises, he passed out the second the stress would get to be too much for him. If anything, he was a hassle. The Gamemakers, whoever they were, they were wasting their time on him. Someone like him, he couldn't be that entertaining to watch, right?

With help from Ellis, Jeremy's able to scramble up the tree without being too clumsy, up high enough off the ground so - hopefully - he wouldn't run into anything unpleasant. It's not the most comfortable, but it's better than risking staying on the ground. Still, he's a little concerned as he looks back down at Ellis below.

"Will you ... be okay?"
