[ by the time misaki returns, katniss has eaten at least a few bites. it's good. it's even better than the stuff they make in the capitol, somehow. maybe it's because the people here give a damn, and it shows. and she's grateful for it, she just... doesn't know how to show it other than with a thank you.
she's stroking the scarf idly, and it take her a moment to take the glass. to pull her hand away from the material. it's therapeutic, the shift of her fingers against the red, and she nods. her face crumples up a bit, and she has to take another moment. tell herself to take a sip of water.
it helps soothe her throat, at least. ]
... yeah. We were... a lot alike, but not in an obnoxious way. [ they'd had stupid arguments, but who doesn't? katniss takes another sip of water. ] We both practically raised our siblings. He was a firebender. I'm the Girl on Fire.
[ she listens to katniss speak, and there's a poignant sadness that settles in her heart. the bonds that people make here are so fragile--that realization is just starting to settle in. anyone could go at any moment. and while some of the others here have become accustomed, perhaps desensitized to murder itself, this is new territory for misaki. one she would have never expected to cross in her life. and yet, here we are. ]
You both had an incredibly strong bond, didn't you? [ a faint smile. ] That scarf...it must have been his way of trying to keep it and transcend the afterlife. Such a sentiment...it's hard to think about, and yet...
[ misaki shakes her head. ] Aah, I'm not making much sense, am I? [ she scratches the back of her head. ]
