"Thank you." Raleigh murmurs and that's when it hits him. Chuck didn't have to do this. They aren't actually friends or even real allies like Raleigh wants so badly to be. Chuck doesn't trust him a bit, but--he came back for him. He looks up beaming at Chuck, even as his hands keep rubbing his muscles down and he tries to get feeling back in his body so he can run.

"You came back for me." He says it like a revelation, and there's a kind of light on his face, that probably hasn't been seen since Yancy was still alive. No one had ever come back for since his brother died. They sent him to do their dirty work, to collect secrets and trade favors, and they locked him in, no one came back for him.

After a second he forces himself to look away from Chuck, because he knows his face his raw and stripped of everything and he hadn't intended on anyone seeing that, let alone Chuck and all of Panem through the cameras. Oh well, they'd eat it up. He pushes himself to his feet and shakes out his body, quickly looting Raiju's. He takes the taser, and miracle of miracles he's got a spile, which will be their new source of water once they get away.

"Excellent." He mutters. "Which way do you want to go?"
