[He's wearing a black tanktop and some boxer briefs, so what Katniss should really be doing is taking in the beauty of his scarcely clothed body.

He's so taken aback by Katniss barging in and getting all up in his business that he doesn't try to dodge or defend himself and ends up getting punched real good. 8( His beautiful face ... ]

Is that any way to greet an old friend?

[befree]

[Somehow, punching him doesn't help at all and she just ends up more angry at life. She backs away and finds a nice corner to hole herself up in, and glares over at him.

And that is when she notices that he's not wearing proper clothes. She averts her eyes downward, then quickly realizes that is not a place to be looking.

So she just focuses entirely on glaring at his face. His stupid, pretty boy face.]

You shouldn't mock what I can't remember.

[65]

[Well she has a lot of chairs to choose from. But he's on his bed ftr. Do you like what you see, Katniss? Is it distracting you? B) ]

You're still incredibly easy to rile up. Should I apologize?

[befree]

I don't need your apology. [She glances over at the chairs and steps in close to one, placing her hands on the back of it, as if she's going to pick it up and hurl it at him. Maybe it would just bounce off the bed and surprise him. She's considering it, but she's a polite attacker and doesn't.]

With the way you've spoken to me multiple times now, is it wrong to assume that we could have possibly been more than just friends? I don't want us to be, I just needed to know the truth!

[65]

And I gave you the truth. [He raises his eyes like rly Katniss???? Take a chill pill gurl god.]

[befree]

[But he made fun of her during the truth giving ): Her delicate man pride is wounded. She goes quiet after that and looks away, and turns as if she's going to just awkwardly walk right on out of the room and leave him alone. But she doesn't, and she just stands there, standing up entirely too tall and with her head held high.]

Deep down, I could have wanted to be thought of as more than a friend. It would have explained why you sent a message asking how I was doing.

[Because in her mind, everything is so cut and paste, black and white. If someone shows they care about you, there must be a really good reason for it.]

I've spent every day since I woke up here confused. Especially after the nightmares started. I don't know what to think anymore.

[65]

[Yep he is not even touching that. He knows Katniss is a stubborn badger and he'll get nowhere in ... trying to explain what feelings are. ]

I can try to help you, like I have been. [His expression softens.]

[befree]

Help harder. [These two words sound ridiculous to her, almost childish in their anger. They only serve to make her look more sour, and it's with extreme frustration that she goes over to sit down in one of the chairs.]

I know that I shouldn't want to remember. I feel drawn to you, even though I want to dislike you. Even if I don't remember you, I guess that it feels like I should.

[There. Have those feelings, Finnick. She can say almost nice things sometimes.]

[65]

[He gets off his bed and goes to sit in a chair next to her. So they can be ~closer~ and he can feel less like he's the king and she's the sorry people.]

I'd say that I'm magnetic, but I'm afraid you'd throw one of the chairs at me.

[befree]

I already thought about doing it. [She admits with a dry laugh, accompanied by a shrug of her shoulders.]

There's another man here. He's older. [And rude and obnoxious. She doesn't care for him much.]

It feels like I'm pulled toward him sometimes, too.

[65]

[Aww, he got her to laugh. :') So proud.]

Haymitch?

[befree]

I didn't bother remembering his name. Does he know me too?

[65]

Yes. Better than I do, perhaps. [He sighs.] Not that he remembers it.

[befree]

Why are you able to remember more than we do? [She's pretty much insanely jealous that he gets to remember all the terrible things she can't make any sense of.]

[65]

[Oh Katniss you have no reason to be jealous at all. For serious.] If I knew, I would tell you.
