[Christos sent a brief text Tuesday night asking Katniss to meet him in the breakfast nook of the dining hall the next morning. She doesn't need to know that it's actually getting closer to his preferred bedtime than his waking up time. He'll just consider breakfast like a Taco Bell fourthmeal, ok.

He's sitting there with his nose buried in a newspaper when and if she shows up.]

It seems to be entirely fulfilling. [She bristles, looking entirely displeased with life. He unnerves her, okay. And he broke her personal boundaries and leaned in close, and at this point in time that is almost unforgivable.]

He tried to give me a lesson in intimidation when we first met.

And what, precisely, was his definition of "intimidation"?

I'm sure it's probably the same as any boy with too much confidence. [She gives the tiniest hint of a smirk, glad that she can at least poke fun of Arthur with Christos. He understands.]

Staring me down and getting in my personal space doesn't do anything but agitate me. At least I know that for sure now.

[everyredcent]

And hopefully now he does, as well.

He'll have plenty of time to learn if he didn't, assuming his ego doesn't get himself killed.

[She's an optimist!]

[everyredcent]

Perhaps. Though my concern at the moment is making sure you stay alive.

[A pause] Which is what this orientation business is about.
