[Twenty-Five - Right Through The Eye]

[the_effect_she_has]

Christmas time again.

[Katniss's voice is soft, and sad, as she plays with the laces on her boots. She's looking out the windows at the soft, white snow that is gathering on the ground.] This time of year always reminds me of Gale, and Peeta, and back home. When things were at their worst, they were still with me. I miss them, every single day.

[She sighed, quietly, before she got up and went to the window.] I know you're still here, my friends and my family. I've been thinking ... maybe I should come back to the Castle for the winter. I don't really want to but - I don't know.

[She touched the glass.] It seems like a bad time, to be alone.

[Gale. It wasn't fair, that he'd finally grown close to the guy only for him to vanish along with the rest of his makeshift family. So he understands her, he does]

It's supposed to be a time for family, right? Blood or otherwise.

[Meg doesn't know Katniss all that well, but she likes her, and she knows Emma trusted her. Knowing that, and given her annoyingly heightened compassion since her last bout as an actual person thanks to castle wonderfuck, she feels compelled to reach out. Loneliness sucks, and she can sympathize.]

You know you can always come hang at the bar if you want some company.

Not alone. Have family here.

Do you still have a room in the castle? Because if not... or if you don't want to be alone... you know you are welcome to stay with me.

Being alone can be good, for some people. It spares us having to face people sometimes.
