Ellis knew that concern anywhere and he smiled wearily. He hasn't been here as long as other Tributes but he knows how terrible things can get when they don't have friends to back them up. He hoped that Jeremy, with his disposition, could find friends that could take care of him.

"Like I said, this ain't my first rodeo an' I'm makin' sure it ain't my last," he knew his odds of making it to the crown were the same as everyone else's...and he was damn sure therre were others who deserved the win, like the kids here.

"I'll be fine, Rabbit, but if y'find yerself in trouble, holler okay? I will bust some heads-" he paused for a moment, then grinned, "An' if Daryl finds ya, tell him I won our bet: flannel beat camo."

He placed that errand onto Fitzgerald for a reason: Tributes can be friends with others and they care about each other. He tossed Jeremy one of his food stores from his Mentors: a sandwich.

"Keep yer strength up, I got faith in ya."
