(no subject)

[effective]

I've had enough of games.

I don't care if you're not planning on sending me anywhere. You're still trying to control me, and this still counts. I don't care that you missed playing me, either! Who are you supposed to be to me?

[insecrets]

Charming as always.

[effective]

We can't all be you.

[insecrets]

No arguments there, girl on fire.

[A pause.] You look... surprisingly okay.

[effective]

Give her a little while, I'm sure that'll change.

[insecrets]

How much can she really put you through? [He smirks.]

[effective]

Did you miss the memo? She can do whatever she wants.

[insecrets]

No, I got that memo. I have it pinned on my wall, actually.

[effective]

Does it have little hearts drawn around it?

[insecrets]

Done in glitter.

[effective]

Pink or purple? Or did you go for a whole rainbow?

[insecrets]

[He crosses his arms over his chest and looks slightly hurt.] I'll have you know, Katniss, the glitter is red.

[district7]

Good luck convincing her with that.

[effective]

The other option was letting her go ahead and do whatever she wants.

[district7]

Because I'm sure she's a regular Snow in the making.

[effective]

[Her expression tightens at the mention of Snow] A person doesn't have to be Snow to be horrible. That just gives them a headstart.

[district7]

[She seems largely unconcerned. Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead and all.]

He got what he deserved.

[effective]

[Wait what.]

Does everyone die in the future??

[district7]

[Uncomfortable subject ehhhhhhhhh.]

Yes. You're talking to the mutt version of me, congrats.

[howherolls]

I think they'd consider us our friends.

[effective]

I don't care what they consider us.

[howherolls]

[a slight smile, and Peeta quickly threads his fingers together ]

You probably shouldn't have asked then.

[effective]

[Her eyes flicker down to his hands and then back up to his face] I'm always asking things I don't want the answer to.

[howherolls]

[ he meets her stare. his eyes have dark bags under them and his gaze is hollow ]

Then it's no small wonder you're always upset.

[effective]

[If it was anyone else, she would have held that gaze. But this is Peeta; she looks away] Some things are more upsetting than others, Peeta.

[howherolls]

[ he looks almost amused, if not definitely curious ]

I can believe that. [ a smile ] The last few months have pointed it out, if nothing else.
