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.

[The reply comes quickly. She shakes her head. She hasn't seen Clove lately, not since their talk at the hot springs. The talk she can't mention to Cato. She had made a promise. And whether or not this promise meant that the other girl now owed her something, for once, Katniss didn't care. Nor did she have any debt to repay.

It just seemed... natural to keep her word, as strange as it seemed. Not to mention the Victors purge to Cato. Not now, not ever. And in a number of ways, it put her more at ease, too. Talking with Clove under the influence of chocolates had been hard enough.]


I haven't seen her recently.
