[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.]

Ah, friend of yours Ms.Clove?

Voice

[shenevermisses]

Not really.

[It's not a word she uses. Even after two years, she doesn't have friends. She has allies and people she respects, but no friends.]

But we were from the same world.

Voice

[that_is_asecret]

Ah, I understand.

[No one from his own world would he consider friends anyway, more allies for a time being]

It is nice to have someone who understands your references and can relate.

Voice

[shenevermisses]

She had friends here. I thought they should know.

Re: Voice

[that_is_asecret]

A nice gesture. How many are from your world?

Voice

[shenevermisses]

Me and Cato now. And Katniss's sister.

Voice

[that_is_asecret]

I see. Is everyone here a former... I believe the word was tribute?

Voice

[shenevermisses]

No. Katniss's sister never went to the Games.

Voice

[that_is_asecret]

Hmmmm. And how are you holding up?

Voice

[shenevermisses]

Fine. Why?

Voice

[that_is_asecret]

Just curious. Usually the loss of someone you've known for a number of years provokes some sort of feeling of separation and or loss, even if only a minor scale.

Voice

[shenevermisses]

Katniss and I knew it could happen. She's back where she's a hero. I'm where I want to be. So, it's not a big deal.

[Not, at least, that she'll admit to anyone.]

Voice

[that_is_asecret]

So you are saying its all for the best then?

Voice

[shenevermisses]

I am.

Voice

[that_is_asecret]

Excellent. You should be quite pleased if that is the case.
