on an upcoming event at Abax and plans for dear Finnick :'|

[insecrets]

 ... She's going to punch her way through my chest. And then I will come back blind for a week. You and I, mundane, should have a sweet, private conversation on the sorts of torture I approve of.

[A long, painful silence.] At least Johanna will be safe.

[thewildcompanion]

Could be worse. [Coulda been your face.]

[insecrets]

Could be better, too.

[thewildcompanion]

At least you aren't the bad guy.

[insecrets]

That depends on who you're asking. [He smirks.]

[thewildcompanion]

[Glare]

[insecrets]

[Wink?

Look, he's trying to pretend that you're not about to rip his insides out soon, because the thought is... horrible. Completely horrible.]

[effective]

What?

[insecrets]

Dying, Katniss.

[effective]

I've been gone for a week!

[insecrets]

I won't be dying for another week, so you'll have been gone half a month. Is this more acceptable to the girl on fire?

[effective]

Oh, yeah, that makes it all better.

[insecrets]

You would have done the same for Peeta or Gale.

[effective]

[She opens her mouth and then shuts it, because the answer to that when she's in the middle of the Quell is 'I would have done the same for Peeta. She looks to the side] I guess. That doesn't mean I'm jumping for joy about this.

[insecrets]

Neither am I, Katniss.

[effective]

[She makes a non-committal sound and then changes the subject]

'Sweet, private conversation'?

[insecrets]

[He shrugs.] I can be very persuasive.

[effective]

[Wrinkling her nose. You're so gross, Finnick]

[insecrets]

[He grins.]

[coastlines]

( there are no words for the panic that she feels right now. )

[insecrets]

Annie... [He immediately pulls her against him, holding her tightly.] It'll be okay.

[coastlines]

( she leans into him and holds on tightly since he is her lifeline. ) I don't ... why do you have to get hurt?

[insecrets]

[His hand comes up to stroke her hair.] There's going to be a problem in the city I've been sent to. It's nothing to worry about.

[district7]

You're such an idiot.

[insecrets]

You know the other choice was to have you kill me.

[district7]

Like that makes this any better.

[insecrets]

I'd rather be killed by someone else than by you, Johanna.
