She's been angry at everything else. Angry at Twelve, angry at Lover Boy, angry at Glimmer, angry at Marvel, angry at Thresh, angry at the Capitol, angry at the Games, angry at the Malnosso. She's been angry at Cato, too. When they had the time and energy to argue here...
She isn't angry at him now.
It's an old... twinge. Like a wound that never healed right. She'd learned about those, usually from mining accidents. Things that didn't get to a doctor fast enough or just couldn't be helped. Something that just didn't heal right and still hurt. It was the same kind of... sort of not-pain that she felt toward Twelve. Just worse.
A lot worse.
Thresh. The refugees. The wolves.
Too late. Not there at all. Almost too late.
But they're Careers. They protect themselves. They don't need to protect one another. That's not how she and Cato work. She can take care of herself; he can take care of himself. They don't really care.]
You almost got yourself killed. [It bothers her, thinking about it.] Don't do it again.
