He comments on the sweetness of the berries and realizes what Katniss has done, but it's too late. She mixes the medicine in with some mashed-up berries and mint leaves and has Peeta eat it. At first, Katniss thinks it's anti-infection medicine meant to cure Peeta, but she smells and tastes it and recognizes that it's sleep syrup. Then, when she's outside the cave at the stream, a gift parachutes down to her.
Peeta tells Katniss he won't let her go, won't let her risk her life for his. He or she will find that very thing in a backpack at the Cornucopia the next day at dawn. He explains that at this point in the Games, every tribute is in desperate need of something. Katniss hears the trumpet followed by another announcement from Claudius Templesmith. Together, Katniss and Gale deliver the goat to Prim who was all too excited to care for it. Katniss purchased that goat after Rooba came by and said that she, in fact, didn't want the goat then she winked at Katniss. Then, she describes how she and Gale took the money to the market and the Goat Man was there with an injured goat that he was planning to sell to Rooba for meat. She, however, doesn't want to get anyone in District 12 in trouble, so she says that she sold her mother's silver locket. The true story is that she got the money for the goat when she and Gale killed a buck in the woods and sold it to the butcher, Rooba. Peeta wants to hear a story, so she tells him a fake story about how Katniss got Prim's goat, Lady. Now she's desperate to get him medication, but knows that it will be incredibly expensive for sponsors to send. When she wakes, she examines Peeta's leg and can see that it's much worse: there are red streaks that indicate blood poisoning. Peeta can tell that Katniss hasn't slept, so he says he'll keep watch during the day, stroking her hair until she falls asleep. They spend the next day in the cave, flirting Katniss maintains that she's putting on an act for the audience's sake. Katniss is able to get Peeta to drink the broth with a lot of coaxing and kissing.
