25th Throw - [ voice ]
[Things are weird.
The fighting helped her mood. She feels calmer now, more sure of herself. A year without combat had left her a little disoriented.
But Cato had died. Died and come back. Not in a week but in hours. According to him and what she could figure out.
It wasn't that upsetting. Death was a part of their lives. It was just unsettling. Because it wasn't like death where she was from.
So? She'd gotten up to go hunting. And waited for hours while no one came.
Finally, she went to the house.
Less than an hour later, she makes one simple remark to the Journal.]
Katniss Everdeen is gone.
[Which sets her on edge more than anything else has in a year.
Itks the first time, she only half realizes, she's lost a friend.]

For Clove: you don't.
Her voice is trained calm. Simple and direct.]
She's back in Panem with Lover Boy.
[But...]
Someone should check on her sister.
[Clove had stayed only long enough to make sure Katniss really was gone. The little girl? Isn't something she can deal with.]
[Voice]
I-in Panem. ...Lover Boy?
[Her sister - Prim. He doesn't know which would hurt more, seeing her stuck here without Katniss or her being gone as well.]
Prim. I'll check on her!
[Voice]
A life free from the Games.
It's more than those left do.]
Tell her not to worry about dinner. I'll take her something.
[Voice]
[Voice]
[She wants to be alone, deep in the woods.
Hunting for herself and the girl is a good enough excuse.]
[Voice]
Maybe she'd like some vegetables on the side. ...I can take care of that part!
[Voice]
[It's not her area. She doesn't usually cook. Not a lot. Cato does that.]
Sure.
[Voice]
[Voice]
[Prim's name... isn't something she's going to use. Not right now. Not yet.]
[Voice]
Oh. I didn't think of it that way. That... that's very thoughtful of you, Clove.
[Voice]
[Because, well. Clove doesn't consider herself "thoughtful."]
