[After a delicious breakfast, where Tango is introduced to this amazing food called “pancakes”, Pearl has plans for discussion at dinner and Scott wants another strategy session later, but Tango finally gets the first real time he’s had to himself since the reaping.] HE HAS NEVER HAD PANCAKES BEFORE?!
[“No, no, they didn’t send me. I just… wanted to talk with you. Get to know each other a bit better before the arena, you know?”] Awww he wanna talkkkk (I am gonna sob later won't i?)
[Shit. He’s gotten attached.] Oh dear
[Jimmy decides to go practice identifying plants, while Tango heads to the rope tying station.] Wait LMAO did he actually learnt rope tying bc of what Scott said?? That is so funny XD
[Hey, at least fleeing with extra flee is still an option.] That is indeed an option!
[ Jimmy gets a three. Tango receives a six. Scott seems annoyed with Jimmy- he had told them specifically not to be pathetic! How is he going to get sponsors with a three? But Tango tells him to back off. He’s sure Jimmy will be better than people think. Maybe they both will.] Protect the rancher!!!!
{theyre bonding! soft rancher moments before the angst later :D} staring at this author note lol. If i gaslight myself enough, surely they can have a happy ending-
