Homeless oh so homeless

I won't go without him.

[She smiles, shaking her head and then laughs.]

You're not the Capitol, you can't make me.

He's okay. [By now Rue's standing in front of her.] Sometimes bad things happen, but it's not as bad as the Games. I thought the gods were like the Gamemakers in the beginning. Some of them are okay.

[She hums and tugs Annie's hand out, inspecting her carefully.] You don't look broken.

[Annie's not sure what to think about all of that. Gods? And people called her crazy, how much crazier would she be if she believed that?

She looks down at Rue though, and she smiles again. Maybe today is one of her good ones. She leans in a little, dropping her voice to a whisper.] Can't see where I'm broken. Thoughts sometimes scatter and break like a wave against the shore.

Annie ;;;

[Rue leans in, too, looking very solemn.]

You can still fix it. We don't have the ocean where we are, but water from the lake can be caught and held, too.

[Annie's eyes widen again and there's a bit of panic in them. As much as she likes being near water, she doesn't much enjoy being in it anymore.]

Stay on the shore... Where it's safe. [She reaches up, touching her temple and laughs... But it's obvious she's drifting away.] They couldn't swim. Had no chance.

oops

[Rue frowns and tugs on Annie's hand again. Annie was being nice. She doesn't like the change the Victor's just gone through.]

Who wouldn't swim?

aww it's okay :3

[brokennotmad]

[She jerks a little and would like to cover herself up and just forget everything, but Rue's somehow tugging back into reality.]

The other Tributes. That was a long time ago... I think. Shouldn't matter but it does.
