it had been a few days in the arena. everyone was close-r now. you hadn't known cato - you had heard about him in the district you both lived in, 2, but you hadn't personally talked to him. that changed when you to had to train together, eat together, share a train cart together. it wasn't a friendship, per say, but a very comfortable alliance. friendships were dangerous in the hunger games.
finally, the games started, and things went rather smoothly. in the next coming days, you guys had do quite well with your allies and alliance. today, you all had spilt into groups to locate more people. clove and glimmer went south, you and cato went north, while marvel stayed back with loverboy.
pushing through the dense unbrush in silence, both you and cato listened. however, the silence didn't last too much long. "hey, kitty, why does the chicken cross the road?" you ask, giggling.
you don't get to finish it, because cato whips around. the normally scary scowl on his face only makes you laugh harder.
"kitty?" he repeats, glaring down at you. you nod, managing to explain that because his name is cato, or CATo, it's pretty funny.
cato shakes his head, "only you." he grunts, crossing his hands over his chest while the faint ghost of a smile crosses his lips.
