9th Swing [Video]
[The video lights up on Cato's face as he watches something off-screen with a very fixed look. Whatever it is, it grabbed his attention just before he opened his journal. It's only a few seconds before he looks back at the page and clears his throat.]
So does anyone want to tell me who's responsible for this --
[The video cuts away a moment, blurring as he shifts to stealthily show Clove hunkered down over some small piece of wood in her hands with a look of very intense concentration her face. There are little bandages peppering her fingers and she looks like she's trying to cut the little piece into something smaller. She keeps shaving away at it.
The video jerks back to Cato's very bemused face.]
I have no idea what she's doing. But it's been going on for days now and I'm a little....weirded out. Every time I tell her to stop because it's making her upset she just yells at me and she won't even show me what she's doing with it.
This is the first time she's cut herself with her knives in years. I don't think I've seen her this bad with one since we were thirteen and just starting out with our weapons.
Someone told her to do this, didn't they? It just...doesn't make sense for her.

[Somehow it's a lot more obvious when Derek says it. He knows Victors take up hobbies after they win the Games; something to keep the Capitol interested in them until they lose relevance. It mostly hadn't occurred to him that Clove could be taking something up for recreational purposes because of that simple fact: Victors had hobbies. Tributes that had fallen couldn't really have that chance.]
She could have told me she was bored.
[It's almost pouting? But not quite there.]
Thanks, though. I'll let her know. If she'll listen to me that is.
Re: [Voice]
When she gets tired of bunging her fingers up, she'll remember. You just need to let her know, most likely.
