Katniss. It's Finnick.


....Have you heard about the tournament thing?

voice;

[istheseus]

[ a lengthy pause. ]

...Yes. I've heard of it.

voice;

[findthisdistracting]

There's no killing. [A lengthy pause in return.]

It's not -- forced. We could do it, we could use the money.

voice;

[istheseus]

[ There's no pause this time. ]

- No. [ If anything, persuasion is needed here. ]

voice;

[findthisdistracting]

It won't be like at home. I think.

We can go look at the place they have them, anyway. See what it's like.

[Katniss, man, he just wants a boat, okay, and a trident. ;;]

voice;

[istheseus]

You can see it on the network, Finnick.

[ You can see hearts being ripped out on the network, too, man. And, hey, don't you think she'd like a bow? ]

voice;

[findthisdistracting]

[JUST LIKE HOME. How fun.]

500 ivories. You could get a bow. I could get a trident.

voice;

[istheseus]

I could join that stupid hunting club and get a bow, and you could be a fisherman and get a trident.

[ HNGH. ]

[ She's being...pissy. Sorry, Finnick. ]

voice;

[bruxisms]

Girl.

[ this is important. ]

voice;

[istheseus]

- it's Katniss.

[ speak. ]

voice;

[bruxisms]

Girl.

You would do well to be wary of your Patrol partner.

voice;

[istheseus]

The Jaime Lannister man?

voice;

[bruxisms]

Yes.

He is an enemy to both House Stark and House Baratheon.

voice;

[istheseus]

Back home, you mean. In your Westeros.

[ She might have dismissed it. But considering who her enemies are... ]

What did he do?

voice;

[bruxisms]

Unspeakable things.

voice;

[istheseus]

...You can't say that and not tell me specifics.

Not voice

[watchforwinter]

[He had made a decision. He would live his life here as if he'd never left the Wall. He would keep to his duty, his color, his brothers. He would forsake everything else.]

[It's an accident the first time he calls her.]

Not voice

[watchforwinter]

[...Granted, it's a lot easier when there actually is a Wall to man. The threat of Wildlings and the Others. When the winters are harsher than they are here.]

[He misses his other brothers. He misses hunting with her. There's only one that he can't do anything about.]

[Jon calls again, on purpose this time. And then hangs up.]

...Voice

[watchforwinter]

[Blah blah blah he's calling.]

Katniss.

Voice

[istheseus]

[ And here she thought there was just something wrong with her Forge. ]

...hello?

Voice

[watchforwinter]

[See, this is why ravens are better. He thinks she can't hear him.]

Hello?

Voice

[istheseus]

- Jon?

Voice

[watchforwinter]

Katniss.

Voice

[istheseus]

[ Wait, no, don't say it like that. ]

Jon.

[ LOVE IS IN THE AI - no. ]

Oh. Hi.

Voice

[watchforwinter]

You can hear me now. Good.

There's something I would ask you.
