When Madi got tired of practicing knife-throwing accuracy, she tried to use some of the bigger weapons, like swords and scythes and things like that. She could barely lift any of them. But she did find a bamboo staff that she could handle pretty well, and she actually almost had fun with it for a while. But she eventually got tired for real, and put it down before looking around at the survival lesson/pamphlet things. She knew to take them with a grain of salt, but some of it might end up being helpful. Besides, she needed a break...
Luke eventually ended up just laying on his stomach in the middle of all the stuff he'd collected, panting and sweaty. He was tired, he'd practiced fighting too much... Tired in the Games was bad, so no too much fighting in the Games. OK, he was learning. That was good.
