the minute he put her down her palms came in contact with his back and shoved @0dair hard. “ you wanna see my face projected up there too, you jackass ?! ” she wasn’t really mad, she never could be at finnick. but her grief had an ugly way of showing itself and it painted itself across her reddened face and clenched fists. she pushed wet hair out of her eyes and shot him a glare. they were far enough from the other tributes to not be heard over the gentle waves but she dropped her voice to a hiss regardless. part caution and part barely contained frustration. “ i can’t fucking believe that’s the girl they want. she doesn’t even get what a role she’s playing, she probably won’t even be grateful at the end of it all. all this work for what ? ” all the fight, all the risk, all the loss. for a girl who probably didn’t even want any of it. johanna couldn’t blame her but she resented her nonetheless. she needed her to try harder.
