When Rue woke up on Thursday morning there was a weird feeling to the air that she couldn't figure out. Portland was much colder than District 11 and she was finding that her sense of the weather was confused almost more often than it wasn't. She'd used to be able to tell whether it was going to rain later, whether the sun would brighten and harsh up until it was blisteringly hot, whether clouds would hang low and muggy or become a thunderstorm that drove the oppressive heat away. Everyone could. They spent so much of their time outside working that weather patterns became intimately familiar. But it was all different here. Crawling out of bed, she peered out the window and felt her heart leap in surprise. Every surface she could see was covered in a layer of white, even the thinnest of the thin tree branches. It was a scene like those she'd only seen a handful of times - once in a previous Games, where tributes had had to find ways to keep warm as urgently as they had to defend themselves against the others, and a few small times when they'd put shots of winter in colder districts in the Victory Tour footage. |
