It was happening again, it definitely seemed as if it was. He had become more observant in his friend, the way she was distant towards him and always seemed to be or end up back in the hospital ward. It was not until Annie had mentioned to him one day that the individual who knew him best for all his FLAWS and TROUBLES did not end up having the time of her life locked up in the Capitol.
“ Johanna! ”
Finnick was thankful that he caught her this time in one of her SPELLS and no one else, rushing towards her nearly sliding on his knees as he wish to quickly get her through this, though her voice echoed and the unknown faces of District Thirteen withdrew, though he was sure someone was going to point out the disturbance of their boring daily routine. His hands grabbed her wrists, making sure she could not simply flail around but hold her steady as he tries to break the curse her mind put her under.
“ Jo, no--I’m here with you. They’ll be fine because there is no water. Jo, there is no water. We’re safe. Close your eyes and it will go away, TRUST ME, Johanna. ”
His only idea at the moment was to coax her out of believing she was drowning. She had to believe his words, even if it did look as if everyone was drowning, his steady voice could surely bring her out of the flood? She only needed to TRUST him in this moment, that him uttering such words could bring her back to peace. He has dealt with these similar situations before, figured out how to handle them. Words were his strong suit, he knew this about himself so they better work this time as well.
