The Deck | Afternoon | Saturday | July 10

The clouds were easing the heat a bit and, without the sun hanging high in the sky, Bod figured that spending some time outside wouldn't give way to an inevitable sunburn. He thought about walking into town but eventually decided that that could wait till later.

Instead, he veered off and clambered onto the deck, sliding into one of the empty loungers and actually choosing to be lazy for once. Usually, laziness was a side effect of having nothing to do or trying to avoid something else but today, he just wanted to relax. He found himself caught up in the movements of the clouds, dark and opaque as they were. He wondered what the sky looked like behind them, if the peeks of blue would stay long and where those clouds would go after moving off.

It wasn't heavy contemplation but he was enthralled by it anyway.

[Deck is open. I like clouds.]

She shook her head. "I will have to at some point, but not until I'm called," she replied. "I, um, was sent here. I'll be called back when they want me home again."

"I have to. Wanting to isn't a question," she said with a shrug. "Being here means being away from my family. Being there means being in trouble and on display. I'm here to...make things more convenient for some people, I think." She really hoped she was right, that the Capitol wasn't able to watch here after all. But even if they were, it didn't matter. It was true. "But I do miss people there. Do you miss the ghosts?"

"Do you like it here, though?" she asked softly.
