[Cato growls out of frustration, bears his teeth with it, heedless of the fact that he is shaking. All he can think about is that this could have been them in the Games. It could have come down to just them and there was so much that could have happened - but didn't.
And the sooner he accepts that the better.]
Fuck it. [He hisses and stabs his sword into the ground with a clang, the sound reverberating through the room - and it's like he suddenly remembers that this is a room. Not real.
As he releases his sword and looks down, he sees the ground glitching at the direct interference - and the broken pieces of the tip of his sword. It's not horribly damaged - salvageable, even. But the tip is now jagged and a good four inches off the top lies in sharp pieces on the ground.
Cato stares....clenches his fists and jaw so tight his teeth might start to crack before he lets out a wild, strangled cry and lunges at Clove. He bends at his waist, aiming to take her at her middle with his shoulder and to wrap his arms around her small frame.
Landing on top of her would only crush her and he doesn't want that - not with how she died, he thinks to himself. So he tucks his shoulder and rolls to his back with her on top of him.
He sure as shit isn't letting her go easily though.]
