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.]

...Something like that.

[Because "Katniss Everdeen", her, and "friend" don't belong in the same sentence.

Yet... It's sort of true.

Two years of getting to know each other. Of watching Katniss go from an annoyance to the only thing standing between her going home with Cato to the truce to an alliance here.

They'd become something here.]

I guess.

Well, someone you cared enough about to notice that she wasn't here anymore, at least.

[Bulla might not know exactly what went on between them, but she can pick up on that reluctance to outright call Katniss a friend.]
