It takes a while to explain the situation to Peeta. How Foxface<br />

stole the food from the supply pile before I blew it up,<br />

how she tried to take enough to stay alive but not enough that<br />

anyone would notice it, how she wouldn’t question the safety<br />

of berries we were preparing to eat ourselves.<br />

“I wonder how she found us,” says Peeta. “My fault, I guess,<br />

if I’m as loud as you say.”<br />

We were about as hard to follow as a herd of cattle, but I try<br />

to be kind. “And she’s very clever, Peeta. Well, she was. Until<br />

you outfoxed her.”<br />

“Not on purpose. Doesn’t seem fair somehow. I mean, we<br />

would have both been dead, too, if she hadn’t eaten the berries<br />

first.” He checks himself. “No, of course, we wouldn’t. You<br />

recognized them, didn’t you?”<br />

I give a nod. “We call them nightlock.”<br />

“Even the name sounds deadly,” he says. “I’m sorry, Katniss.<br />

I really thought they were the same ones you’d gathered.”<br />

“Don’t apologize. It just means we’re one step closer to<br />

home, right?” I ask.<br />

“I’ll get rid of the rest,” Peeta says. He gathers up the sheet<br />

of blue plastic, careful to trap the berries inside, and goes to<br />

toss them into the woods.<br />
