[Four - Right Through The Eye - Written/Dictated]

[Katniss has finished her morning exercises on the range - clearing her head and her heart as she pulls the journal towards her. Time to address ... the nightmares. Personal ... things. She sighed, scrubbed a hand over her face, before she started to write furiously.]


_____

[Bluntly written.] That was my home, that was my childhood, that was my coming of age. It's gone now, just so you know. We ended it in a rebellion to end all rebellions.

[A pause, and a quieter..] I'm sorry what you saw of me there. Yes, Jim, even you.



_____

I won't say anything if you don't want me to. It's your business.



_____

Hey, lion. [An embarrassed pause.] I caught some rabbits, the other day. You're welcome to them.

And. Thanks. For checking on me.



_____

Thanks for staying with me. And the present. And ... stuff.

[Perhaps the hardest thing she's ever written, but she'll write it.]

I would have traded places with you in the Capital in a heartbeat. You never should suffer. Never. You're the light ... you're the light in my world. [She's embarrassed, pushing her hair out of her face.] You've always given me hope. You're ... beautiful, and you only deserve beautiful things.

And yes, my words are all real. All true.

[Her pen pauses, then she continues.] Anything else I say on this, I say face to face, heart to heart.

[And now, for something a little more public.]

Arya, I, and a few others are going for a hike. Anyone need any meat or herbs?

[Completely bland here, yep yep.]

Pretty much. So don't worry~!

Oh, so you just need help carrying it? I can do that.

Re: Katniss

[the_effect_she_has]

Ino, I can't stop worrying until I'm dead.

[She gnawed thoughtfully on the end of her finger, before nodding.] Tomorrow then? After the hike?

Katniss

[ino]

Well, try not to? [a little laugh]

Sure. When are you guys getting back?

Re: Katniss

[the_effect_she_has]

I'll do my damnedest. [A quiet smile.]

Not really sure - it's a good opportunity to explore and gather herbs before winter.

Katniss

[ino]

Yeah ... it's still a month or so until winter, but it's a good idea to look around before then.

I guess just filter to me when you guys are on your way back, then?

Ino

[the_effect_she_has]

Exactly my thought.

You got it.
