[Dictated - Open to Katniss or Anne] [Baby!Plot]

[the_effect_she_has]

[The journal falls open, and a faint burn marks show on the edges of the page. There are sounds - sounds like crashing and slamming, and yes. Cursing. A great deal of cursing that suddenly became words.]

Come - back ... down here you damned bird! No, stop! Stop! Not the curtains! Don't set fire to the curtains! Sit! Stay! ARGH!

[Then there is the sound where she turns and yells across the room.] ANNE! Get out here and help me! You have got to help me! This thing is setting fire to everything!

[There was another crash, and Katniss sighs as a few more burn spots appear on the page.]

...I hate this castle...

I would not do such a thing, but I did not receive one for which I am ever grateful. I only observed it happen with others.

I am not fond of treating such true pleasures of motherhood as a passing fancy.

Well said. Even with these creatures it is not possible to simply abandon them and this is what I thought even before the castle's little reminders that we should be responsible 'parents'.

[His was a light smile now, the temporarily merriment of a certain admission from Katniss lightening his mood enough to tease.]

It is regretful that your temporary foray into the motherhood of a phoenix resulted in a soaking.

Mistress Everdeen is as loose with her tongue as she is with her grip on water, I see. But I would prefer this over being caught aflame.
