Lallek merely nods in understanding. Jace was leading the other team where they needed to go. When things broke apart it would go in the careers' favor, but his ally would survive. Lallek could watch a back. Two now that Jace was involved. Taking a bite of his food, Lallek gazes around the room and then makes a signal to Jace to watch the careers.
They were a problem. A scary problem. One that Lallek had no intention of dealing with. Best to keep Jace on his toes though.

I looked around nervously and spotted my district 1 counterpart. I strided towards him with a a nervous smile plastered on my face. "Silver... Could I talk to you?" I asked glancing at the floor.

"Hello Klo."[/b] Silver greeted; a shade of wariness in his voice. He glances towards Klo's hands; but if she isn't holding any utensils; he stands with his plate.
"I'm going back for seconds. You can walk with me."[/b] As he departs the table; he keeps pace with Klo. Soon they were out of earshot of the others at the buffet line.
Silver glanced at Klo with curiosity. "Whats on your mind?"[/b]

Jasmine Coverfield, District 11 Female[/u]
Jasmine watched her fellow District 11 Tributes walk into the room, hit the buffet table and move off to a table of their own. She was about to beckon them over, but thought better of it given her mentor's words of concealing things from the alliance. She smiled at Femra's continued interest in learning the bit of sleight of hand Jasmine'd demonstrated the day before. Admittedly, a spoon wasn't the best object to start with, but... Oh well.
"Good, glad to hear it. I'd like tuh pass on somethin', 'case yuh make it an' not I." She speared a piece of meat, smiled at Pearl as she introduced herself. "Jasmine Coverfield, District 11."
She popped the meat into her mouth and mumbled around it to Femra, "T'key 'bout mms qmck," she swallowed, "fingers an' a flash of distraction. Yuh hold th'spoon like this," she demonstrated palming the spoon, "while doing something distracting with yer other hand, then slide it up yer sleeve. It's simple, I know, but... Takes practice tuh get it smooth."

Jace Colton
He looks to where Lallek is indicating and nods. Seemed like the Careers were suddenly getting the point and getting cohesive. Which made them more dangerous. Which made it less likely that they would all get out of the Cornucopia alive.
"Watch my back. I'll watch your's. Let them have the Cornucopia. We're both better suited somewhere we can hide anyway. Fair warning? I think I may have made myself a target earlier. It looks like you can't get to me or I get swarmed?
"You run, right? I think you got a real chance if you stay away from them."

As Klo didn't speak; Silver began to fill his plate with more meat pies. He lingered another moment; awaiting Klo's words.[/b]
"Hey Pearl." [/b] Rowan nodded to the other girl; gesturing for her to sit. "Now we don't have much more time. We know what our plan is..." [/b] She lowered her voice; glancing towards the other tables. " Oh, great. Looks like Klo is on speaking terms with the other careers."[/b]

"I'm sorry. Your probably awaiting to hear what I have to say buts its not easy. I'm not usually the one to say sorry... But Silver, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being intimidating and mean and I apologize for everything I've done to you and Emerald and others around me. Please accept my apology. I would appreciate a do over...?" I whisper.

Lallek raises an eyebrow. Antagonizing the careers was not a smart move early on. Wait...Maybe it was. If they were hunting Jace that was an advantage because now they knew what the careers would do. The stragglers that survived the bloodbath at least, would likely hunt Jace and in turn Lallek could hunt them. Cat and mouse was certainly a game he could play. Jace just had to stay alive long enough for the careers to smell blood in the water.
Once again nodding in understanding he glances at the others. Lallek points to himself, then to his eyes, and makes a gesture to the room. He waits a moment for Jace to decipher the gesture then moves again. He points to Jace and then to the non-career alliance, then signals towards them.
These limitations were a huge hassle, but they could talk later. For now Jace would rally his alliance and Lallek would watch the room. They couldn't both watch everything and do what needed to be done. Best to divide the work.

"Yeah; okay." Silver decided; evaluating Klo for a beat. "We'll talk more about it at the apartment after dinner. No need to give them a chance to overhear us, right?" He smiles. Its a cruel smile that doesn't reach his eyes.
"You walked over to that big alliance. What did you think of them?"

Rory Noland: District 7 Female Tribute
Rory's head snapped over to Silver and Klo. Her gazes burrowing into them both. She kept her eyes fixed on the pair. Silver had to go. But she didn't know if she was up for an offensive play against him. Klo too. "She seems to be making nice. Probably didn't think it was a good idea going into the arena without an alliance. But I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. Girl is bad news. So is Silver.... I guess if you look at it that way it's a match made in hell."

"Oh Them?" I said pointing to the minor districts chatting. "They're just kids. I know what I did was uncalled for earlier but they dont really have a chance of getting out. There is only 1 getting out of this arena and I'm not sure if they can survive. If they survive well congrats. I guess they have families while I have nothing so it better be them then me... They just want to get out of here.. So I guess it be best to not cause much more trouble for them." I trail off.

" Fantastic. Sticking to staying away from the whole pack of careers looks better every day."[/b] Rowan remarked.
" I do hope we can stick to it."[/b] Pearl stated. "I am a bit confused... is Lallek involved with this?[/b]
"... until the Arena."[/b] Silver grins maliciously. "I'm definitely watching for that little one that ran into me. She say anything to you?"[/b]

Rory Noland: District 7 Female Tribute
"We'll stay away as long as we can. But sooner or later we'll have to have a showdown." Rory says to the group about the careers. She looks over her shoulder and raises her glass of water to Silver and Klo with a smile on her face. Then takes a sip, silently toasting to their collective health. "I don't know if Lallek is in our alliance, Pearl. But I think he might be forging one with Jace."

"That little one -" Silver turned and pointed with a finger towards Femra, sitting at the big alliance table. "- ran into me. Think I spooked her pretty bad, but those ones -" His finger moves to indicate Jace, Rory and Tank. "- stepped in. " His tone turns flat, ringing with irritation. It colors his face red as well as he sees Rory. He sneers across the room at her, his expression nasty.
"Its those two that do the talking, right?" Emerald moves up beside Klo and Silver, nodding towards Jace and Rory. She sees Rory's toast as well, her smile widening. "I think they like us."
"He hasn't spoken to us at all." Pearl notes with a frown, glancing over towards Jace and Lallek. "Your alliance is getting attention."[/b] Sorrel, the tall girl from District 11 pauses by Jasmine's shoulder. She won't look towards the careers, staring down at the table as she continues. "Silver, Emerald and Klo the knife girl. "[/b]
Pearl hears Sorrel and glances over at the careers.
"We just have to out run them. I bet they'll be bogged down with the spoils from Cornucopia."
She glances over towards Rory.
"You have any ideas for actually confronting them?"
Sorrel lingers by the table, glancing to Rory, Tank and Jasmine. Odin remains at the table, looking sullen.

Jasmine Coverfield, District 11 Female[/u]
Jasmine smiled up at Sorrel, hearing her fellow District 11 tribute speak. She was aware of the attention their alliance had drawn. It was nearly the size of the careers' and that alone would draw attention. The fact that, and Rory and Jace'd pointed this out, the careers had it in for at least a pair of the alliance Jasmine was in didn't help them fly under the radar so to speak.
"Yeah, they are. Likely envious, really. " She glanced toward the career table, then Silver and Klo. She had no love for Silver, but Klo... She turned back to smiling up at Sorrel. "Have a seat, I'd be willin' to introduce yuh to everybody." She then looked toward Pearl. "They prolly will be bogged down... really, if we can separate them, put 'em though paces that they're not expectin'... we oughta come out alright. They're their own worst enemy really. They got each other, but everybody's gonna be on th'lookout for them. We got each other, and only need-a lookout fer them. Make sense?"

"Yeah sure they do..." I chuckled amd grinned towards the tables of minor district tributes. "I've got my eyes on that District 11 female... Jasmine? Something about her...I dunno. She appears to be a tough cookie." I turned and gave half smile towards Silver.

Rory Noland: District 7 Female Tribute
Rory sees Silver's face and her grin deepens. Silver's temper will be his undoing. Rory is already exploiting it and he is none the wiser. She notes that Emerald is like her a watcher. And she nods to the girl. A sign of subtle respect. They'd met as foes in the arena. But Rory respects who she respects.
"It's not just envy." Rory replies before taking another sip of her water as he gaze fell back unto Silver. "Some of them want to make the weak suffer. And those are the same ones that think of some of us as easy-pickings. We're going to show them otherwise."
Rory sounds so sure. But her eyes darken, she knows where her mind is going and quickly stops, looking around at her alliance. "Sorrell, right? Have a seat. Invite your district mate, the sullen one over here too if he wants."
Rory nods at Jasmine's suggestion. She agrees completely "We'll come at them sideways. We need to think outside of the box. That is an alliance of kids that have studied the Games backwards and forwards. They know all of the predictable moves. We have to come at them in ways they'd never think of. Everyone watch them. Because they all have weaknesses... Like Silver... he's a hothead. Push him and you can either make yourself a target... or make him jump into a fight he can't win."
