deadalready: (come away to the water)

August 26th; post event

[He hardly ever cares about these shifts anymore, they come and go like clockwork almost and it's a relief of sorts to be able to come back to himself. Especially after this one. He doesn't feel like it's a big difference and if he could he would gladly change how he came here. He'd gladly trade in the memories of the mutts for something less awful but he's happy being here with Clove in their apartment being normal.

As normal as they could get at least.

Cato's sitting on the couch, staring off into space and fiddling with his journal as he sits and thinks until...]

Do you wish your parents could be here?

[All Clove can think this time is: these things better not interfere with the wedding.

Going in and out of the "shifts," it's gotten fairly familiar. Almost easy. And, really, she wouldn't have minded this one that much if it hadn't tampered with the memories here. No thoughts of dying. Still feeling sixteen and invincible. Going into the Arena without knowing what would happen there. Without fear and without hesitation.

But she knows what she's been through, knows what she is now. And... that's okay.

His question stirs her out of her thoughts, calm as they are. She considers it for a moment and shrugs a little.]

Sometimes. I think especially right now. I wish my dad was here. [For the wedding.]

[Cato's thoughts also linger on the wedding, he thinks of how excited his parents would be about this - how his mother would dote on Clove in her own weird way, how his father would slap him on the back and grin because this meant the town was going to have a party.]

Yeah... me too. My mom would be so mad about missing this.

[He remembers what Katniss had said though. That the other Victors had been...]

They'd probably like it here.

[After all - it was a hell of a lot better than District 2.]

They'd love it here.

[She tries not to think about their parents. Cato's... gone. Hers... They might be dead. If they'd tried to fight either the Capitol or the new government. Or maybe they'd just adjusted, were living happily. She liked that idea better than the alternative...]

Lots of room, no money. Just getting to do whatever you want.

[It's been harder and harder not thinking of what they'd lost the more and more they'd made his proposal a reality outside of the Shift. He misses his family as much as Clove had become the next best thing (which sounded like an insult when he actually put it to words)]

We'd never hear the end of it about this.

[He doesn't say 'getting married' because it still seems so out of this world, like they're still Shifted.

Cato ignores that thought because it hurts.]
shenevermisses: (Waiting)

They'd never stop fussing over it all.

[She can't quite bring herself to actually talk about Portia. Even though that's where her mind instantly goes. She was never that close with her own mother -- an Academic who never seemed to really feel the horror of the Games (Clove wonders, just sometimes, if her view changed at all watching the 74th) -- but Cato's mom...

She knows now... Cato knows now... what happened to Portia after the 75th. How everything they knew is gone.]
