A dragon. Feferi has no one to be angry with but herself, but to go by way of dragon... she's kind of mad. She made it so far once again, and had nothing to show for it. Maybe if she'd stuck closer to Dave. He was better with the sword. Her first stop when she gets back isn't to her room, though; in the past, she might have stopped and moped. But now she heads to the Training Center, finds the nearest sword, and starts hacking away at training dummies. She'll have to go back to school tomorrow; she's not ready for that kind of effort, but she's going to have to find a way to make it.
When she tires herself out with the sword practice, she sets to wandering. She doesn't want to go sit in her room and stew in her disappointment, but she doesn't know what else to do, so she sets to meandering, hoping that something will catch her attention. She gets herself something to eat, which helps a little, and gives a passing smile to anyone who notices her. To anyone who matters, she tries to look at least a little bit pleasant, but it's a struggle, and it feels strange to her, that being cheerful would be so hard for her, of all people.
But ultimately ends up on the roof, and after school most days, too. She does her homework up there in more secluded corners, just for the peace and quiet. It's nice up there, and there's a little taste of freedom that she can't get in her room. Maybe it's the breeze on the skin, or being able to see the sky, and knowing that it's the real sky. When she's not working on schoolwork, she's deep in thought, just trying to think through her next moves.
[ for Signless ]
While she still has time, Feferi makes a special stop in her meandering. It's only after hours have past and the evening's worn on, but somehow, it doesn't seem weird calling on another troll late at night. Humans are the ones who are into the whole being awake during the day, so when she knocks at Signless' door, her only worry is that he won't actually be in. Maybe she should have messaged ahead, but it would have taken her longer to do that than to just show up.
That, and she simply didn't think ahead.
She waits impatiently, bouncing on her heels, her fins back and her signature smile gone. Though she trusts him to be kindly, she's antsy about what she's here for. She's not even sure if she'll get in trouble for talking to him about this, or sabotage herself in the process somehow, but... there's no way she can do it alone. She has always been confident, but she's always had friends or her lusus to back her up. She doesn't have her lusus here, of course, and a friend like Karkat won't do... this requires a special touch, and she just knows Signless is the perfect troll for it.
[ for Karkat ]
Feferi doesn't have the heart to watch and find what Dave's fate is going to be, so instead she has to find ways to keep herself busy. Being made to go back to school helps keep her distracted some, and the roof provides some relief, but there's a time when Feferi doesn't want to be alone, and that's when she stops by District 6.
In true Feferi fashion, she doesn't know that Karkat will actually be there, but she finds herself at his door anyway. They agreed to talk more, but she doesn't just want to talk at recess. She wants a little more privacy, and even though she knows the cameras are always watching, she just kind of wants to be away from the prying eyes and ears of other tributes. Most of them are nice enough, but there's something to be said for having a little troll time without humans around.
She's not even sure she wants to talk about her time in the Arena, or where Dave is, or about their argument that still sits unresolved at the back of her mind. She just wants to see a familiar face and hang out for a little while. Heck, she would be happy to just sit there and listed to Karkat rant about her dropping by unexpectedly. She doesn't have any place to be picky at the moment.

Not that it got them much.
"You're welcome. I'm actually impressed you made it so far in the game. At this point, I'm almost certain you're One's best bet for next time."
She pauses, taking a moment to come down a side staircase and join Feferi on the main floor. "Quite a lot. Tell me--your relationship with Dave Strider. Real, or just for show?" She doesn't think much of the whole romance angle, personally, but she's aware that it can work in their favor if they so choose.

"Oh, it's real! Well, now it is. It was fake at first but this was our first Arena with it being real." And that was a very real fight they had. She tries not to think on it too hard. "We really hammed it up, I guess. Maybe a little bit less ham next time..."
She seems sincerely thoughtful about it-- if there is a next time, anyway. She's not even sure what will come of their talk when he gets back.
