Second Drink

[Haymitch has finally decided that maybe, maybe, Peeta isn't crazy and they really are living in a magical castle with people from other worlds. Maybe. Of course, that doesn't mean he's not on his guard. Even if this is what people say, it doesn't mean Snow or any of his Capitol stooges couldn't show up and ruin everything. Given what Finnick told him about the future...well. Better to be safe than sorry.

And Haymitch was prepared to keep those kids safe rather than sorry at any cost.

And so, he's sitting in the Lux, occasionally glancing at the drink of whiskey he can't have until someone hands it to him, flicking through his journal pages. Eventually, he deigns to talk]

Okay. So let's say I'm more willing to buy this magical castle idea. I want to know more about it. What makes it tick. Some of you have been here for years, apparently, you must have learned something in all that time.

I'm sitting in the Lux, if you'd like to play sharetime. We can have a drink, learn a thing or two. It'll be fun.

... Maybe you could, you were just seeing it twice.

[Sorry, Gale, don't mind Haymitch while he has some inner angst, staring at his glass. Knowing what will happen to Peeta, having THIS happen to Katniss. People really have to stop screwing with the memories of his kids]

She's really not going to like this.

What's happened to her lately for her to like? And "not dying" doesn't count.

I doubt anything good has happened to her since before Prim was pulled out of the Reaping ball.

She came back from the Games alive. ... [from the way he says it, though, Gale's not even sure that's a good thing, the way everything ended up]

[Haymitch gives a derisive snort]

Coming out of the Games alive is glamorised. Trust me, it's not as fun as the Capitol makes it out to be.

Oh, I don't know, I always thought spending the rest of my life as a drunk sounded like a lot of fun.
wastheexample: (No wait what)

[personal profile] wastheexample 2012-03-27 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Come join me. I'm having the best of fun over here. Can't you tell?

[His expression is not a fun one]
fanstheflame: (one more wish to you)

I don't know if I could handle that much excitement, to be honest.

Better sticking with the traps and woods.
