The sky seemed bright as day now, even when Thor knew it must be night and he wondered how, exactly, such a thing was occurring. He had seen what men called the Northern Lights before on many occasions and while this was no shocking thing, the brightness of them and the sudden appearance of them in their village was shocking. What had brought them on? Were their captors toying with them yet again? As days went on, Thor was less and less convinced that his brother was behind such a trick and that someone else held them here. Something else was behind this, that was evident.

Still, he had little desire to think of that now. It was near to supper time and it was still bright as noon, the play of pinks and blues and greens across the sky a beautiful thing to behold. It had become commonplace over the last few weeks but it still caught his eye, still arrested him and caused him to stop what he was doing and simply watch for a while and it was in one of these moments that he decided to go back into the house he shared with Annie and called for her, wanting to share the moment with her.

"Annie, come look! The lights are bright tonight. You cannot even see the stars any longer."

There's one convenient thing Johanna's figuring out about the whole 'night's as bright as day' thing. For someone who doesn't really sleep so well, it gives her the opportunity to get out there and do some of her work when everyone else is sleeping, which means that she doesn't have to run into crowds of people and do the whole smile and act civilized thing. Sure, yes, she's trying to be nice for Finnick's sake, but honestly, people kind of suck after a while. This is the kind of peaceful silence that she does well with.

The sparks are starting to get a little annoying, especially seeing as she can barely touch her axe at times without shocking herself after, but the auroras? Well, Johanna doesn't exactly get wowed by natural beauty or anything, but even she has to admit they're pretty incredible.

At night, when they're lighting up the sky like day, they're amazing. She'd scrambled to the top of one of the trees to perch up there and eat some jerky she'd stashed in the boughs, readying herself for another night of private hunting and wood chopping. While the wood, she's happy to share, the food is treated, prepared, and shared between herself, Finnick, and Annie. She might be willing to go along with the whole 'play nice' theme they've got going on, but she's going to make sure she stays alive before anyone else.

With the last of her food done, she descends quickly, boots slamming onto the ground as she absently twirls both her axes as she walks along, not caring what she looks like, aiming to find a little something to carve up and start drying out before she gets back to chopping up the logs. Might as well make the best of a sunny night, after all, and what better way than getting to use the sharp ends of her axes?
