thinking about exsilium, post mockingjay

[howherolls]

I'd vote no.

There's no guarantee I can stop, even now. I'll try, but...

 ...you've had better ideas.

I just got there. [She still wouldn't tell him :'|]

[insecrets]

[Get out.]

[effective]

What was I supposed to say? 'Hi, Finnick, glad you're not dead anymore, or a mutt, by the way you have a son?'

[insecrets]

Someone could have said something.

[effective]

Would you have?

[insecrets]

Yes.

[Maybe?]

[effective]

Liar. You don't know. [She doesn't want him to be mad, though :c]

They're - happy. Not all the time, obviously. And - I haven't - been very good. At keeping in touch. But overall. It was good for her.

[insecrets]

It would be a little difficult to keep something like that from you anyway. [You know. Biology.]

Being alone and raising our child... [u g h]

[effective]

I was being hypothetical.

[Silence] She's not alone. [Although Kantiss is looking sort of guilty because lolol too catatonic to help]

[insecrets]

Johanna? [It's the only person he can honestly think would somewhat care.]

[effective]

She's there. Other people from Four. And we keep in touch. Now - now that I keep in touch with people. [Her eyes dart down to her hands, burn scarred] She's a good mother. I mean, she - needs help, sometimes. But she loves your son more than anything.

[insecrets]

Good. [HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.] Good. I'm glad... We never talked about it.

[effective]

There wasn't a lot of time. [She breathes in, out again] I don't know how comforting I can be but - I won't let - I'll look after them, too. [It's basically the first step she's taken out of her District 12 bubble, so it's a big deal] I mean, as much as I can.

[insecrets]

Thank you. [He doesn't. Know what else can really be said. He's dead. He has a child. The world has changed.

But he's still dead.]
