"Try to look happy. It helps get sponsors. The crowd likes young, free tributes to sponsor. Shouldn't be hard for you." he retorted. He turned away, and smiled and waved at the crowd.

I nodded my head, putting on as happy-looking smile on my face as I could, giving a small wave to the crowd, not all that confident, but from the screen I guess I didn't look to scared.

The chariot rolled along the track as the two tributes waved and smiled the while way. The chariot came to a slow stop, and the first tributes bid their farewells and exited the stadium.

The foames crom both of our outfits crackled loudly behind us, and I tried to picture myself in front of the firesplace with my family on a cold winter night, eating roasted nuts my sister and I had gathered that day from the woods. However, the loud cheers of the crowd made it too difficult to imagine this, and it only made my heart ache. I couldn't wait for this to be over, to get out of sight of all these people and cameras. At least for the most part. The cameras were mostly trained on the two of us as they had been with our mentors, which made me all the more nervous. A small chocked whine escaped my throat, but it was so soft no one outside of the chariot would be able to hear it. How was I suposed to do this? I was just glad that Colt was at least looking out for me and not staring me down or flat out ignoring me anymore.

Colt looked over to her, and despite the smiling and waving, he could see the fright in her eyes. He couldn't blame her, it was truly terrifying. Their chariot finally rolled to a stop, and he made a final wave to the crowd before stepping through the doors, away from the crowd, and the noise.

As soon as Colt began to walk towards the large building, I followed behind him as quickly as possible. Once we were inside, Portia made her way over to Colt, extinguishing the flames from his cape quickly, and removing the black cape for him. "You two did amazing!" She sang, as she folded the black fabric up quickly and easily into her arms.
Ooc my riding instructor worked me so hard today, no sturrips and having to poet do halfseat while keeping ever part of my body in the correct position and my legs feel like jello. I am NOT looking forward to the soreness tomorrow and I have NO MUSE!!!

"You two really did put on quite a show." said a voice, revealing to be Cinna, extinguishing the flames from her dress. He smiled, and looked very impressed.
Colt smiled. The smile quickly turned to a frown when he thought of tomorrow's training. He had heard that training with the other tributes was like a battlefield, an he didn't like it.

I gave a small and greatful smile to Cinna. "Thanks." I said, a bit of my shakeyness dissapearing.
Portia looked over at Colts anxious face. "What's up?" She asked, sstepping towars him and placing a careful hand on his arm.
Ooc no muse!!! Grrr.

"Nothing." he replied, lifting his head back up. "I'm just thinking... about what's to come."
OOC: No Muse! Sorry!

"I know, it must be terribly nerve wracking. But I know you can do it Colt, you and that little Roseline have just as much chance as anyone to win this, and I know that you have more brains than any of the other competitors out there. I'm betting on you Colt, know that." She said.

He smiled, feeling slightly more relaxed. "So what now?" he asked, directly pointed at the two designers.

"Now you both go up to your rooms and get changed, the capitol staff should pick them up later to bring back to us." She says, "I have to go, the prep team and I have to discuss what to fit you for, for your interview." She says, and turns and walks out of the room.

I walked over to Colt. "She seems really nice." I say quietly, "Are you okay? You look kind of sick." I said, concern in my voice. It must be from nerves. My heart felt like it was pumping 1000 times a minute.

"Yeah. So does Cinna."he repied, beginning to walk back to his room. "I'll see you tomorrow." he said, giving a final wave before turning around the corner.

"Um, okay." I said, quietly, before turning in the opposite direction, Katniss and I were going to talk a little but more. It helped with my nerves when we talked about what was scaring me, and lessened the nightmares.
