He play scowled and tackled her.

She laughed and wrestled with him, rolling over and pinning him to the ground, blowing her hair out of her face. She probably couldn't hold him there for long, but she still grinned smugly at that small victory.

She struggled to push him off, but couldn't. She flumped her arms down and exhaled. "I surrender." She chuckles, miming waving a white flag with her good hand.

She frowned. A look of realization crossed her face. "Oh, sorry. I didn't think about what I was saying." 

After a moment she asked "Can I get up now?"

He sighed. "Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine." He looked at the doorway his sister had gone through, then closed his eyes. Yeah. I'm fine.

She put her arm around him. "It's still there, isn't it?" She whispered softly, laying her head on his shoulder.

He nodded. "I don't think they'll ever fully go away. I mean, I almost lost my sister. In some ways, I did."

She nodded sympathetically, giving him a soft squeeze and then letting go. "It was a really hard time. For all of us, but... you especially."

I'm really really horrible at sympathy. I never know quite what to say.

"Yeah. But your grandfather... he made it better for us, he... he took care of us, then got us out of the Capitol before the war started... It could have been so much worse than it was."

She nodded in agreement. 

"You know, I think I made too much food for tonight. If you and Marewill, and maybe some of the other tributes want to come over? Or I can bring some over here. I just need to get rid of it before it goes bad."

He looked out the window at the setting sun. "Might want to grab that quick, then," he smiled.

So I guess the sun goes west to east in this world? Since the sun is just setting in the Crescent but it's been night for a while in the arena.
