[The video turns on and not two seconds later there is a loud crash! The video sinks down as Finnick leans down to pick up a plate he broke. He stops in mid pick up before reaching down and grabbing a particularly sharp piece of porcelain. Again, his brow furrows and he starts to speak softly to himself.]

She's not here, she's not here. She's disappeared. Please don't let any harm come to her. Please.

[He continues to whisper those things to himself, his eyes squeezing shut as he stops for a moment, thinking hard and silently, brow wrinkled, and nose scrunched up. There is a soft hiss, and he opens his eyes surprised as he drops the piece of porcelain down with another thud to the ground.

He turns his hand around, and genuinely looks puzzled as he stares at the nice cut across the palm of his hand.]

How did that happen?

[Obviously something is not right. Especially as Finnick turns and walks right into a wall, the feed cutting off afterward.]

[OOC: With Annie not around Finnick kind of goes a little goofy. Feel free to talk to him! The people who know him or his house mates are welcome to action tags just let me know.]

[ Katniss is in her room, working on a few new entries into her book. She's decided to start one like the one she has at home, the one with the sketches of plants and animals... To keep her busy. It helps her keep her mind off of Peeta, though it does remind her that he was wonderful at doing the sketches. It grounds her. The crash is uncharacteristic, however, and she drops her pen immediately. She jumps to her feet and quickly makes her way out of the room and down the stairs as fast as possible. She rounds the corner and sees Finnick, a mess, an absolute mess, and she doesn't even have to ask to know something is very, very wrong. Her eyes immediately go to the broken shards, then to his hand, which is now bleeding. ]

Finnick! Be careful - [ She rushes over to him and takes his hand in both of hers, looking at it. It's not bad, thankfully. ] -- What happened?

[When Katniss comes in and grabs his hand and looks at it. He blinks and shakes his head, a small smile on his lips. His brow his furrowed though and he shuts his eyes tightly for a small second.]

What? Sorry Katniss, I didn't catch that, could you repeat it again?

[He had been like this when he had been in district thirteen. It was never this bad though. It was because he was worried that Annie wouldn't come back at all. His mind kept flashing with horrible things, and finally he hung his head.]

Sorry.

[He reached up and touched the top of his head as he took in a shaky breath as his hand curled up causing more blood to seep from the cut on his hand.]

Sorry. I'm okay.

[But he was the farthest from that.]

People can leave this place?

[It takes him a while to respond.]

Yes, people can leave this place.

[She makes note of the time passage, wondering if maybe she'd said something wrong.]

Will she be alright? Leaving like that, I mean.

[He rubs at his face a few times.]

Sorry can you repeat that? Annie? Did you ask about her?

I didn't know her name but I asked if she would be alright, leaving like that.

[It was the leaving part that got her attention, but he's clearly out of sorts so she doesn't bother pressing him for information of how she left.]

[ So this is what Finnick meant by not being able to function without his wife. ]

Hey... You need to apply pressure to your hand or it'll keep bleeding. Can you do that? Or do you need help?

Finnick? [ It doesn't take a genius to figure out who Finnick's talking about. Even someone who's only talked to him a couple times, like Allison, can guess he means his wife. ] What's going on?

[He pushes the palm of his hand against his forehead and he just speaks softly.]

I hope so.

[There is so much on his shoulders that no one knows about. He visibly just sinks down his jaw setting and eyes tightly shut.]

I don't want her to be in pain.

[This comes after Katniss has taken care of his hand. He turns the video back on and waves his hand at the camera.]

Katniss fixed it, I'm okay.

[Well, at least for now. He's trying to be, she's not all the way gone yet. Just lost.]

[ It's not difficult to figure out just who Finnick is talking about. And Uther can understand it; the loneliness of losing someone so important to you.

There's really only one thing to say. ]

I'm sorry.

[ Scott looks relieved to see Finnick's hand has been dealt with. ]

My girlfriend came back - well, she never really left. She was lost without her bracelet. Other than being confused, she was fine. If the same has happened to your wife, I think she'll be okay. [ But he can understood why Finnick would be worried. So was Scott when Allison went missing. ]

[It's on the tip of her tongue to tell him to snap out of it and that letting himself give in to despair will not help this girl or him.]

People move on through pain. We feel it and then we shape ourselves around it.

[She knew that well enough on her own, even if she was only a girl of one and ten years.]

I think she'd rather you were able to be at ease, than to worry yourself for her sake, though I didn't know her so I can't be a judge of that I guess.

[The crash in the house catches her attention and puts her on alert, like with all the Tributes. What she sees isn't what she's expecting, though.

It's not that she isn't used to Finnick's more serious side, it's that the behavior he's showing now isn't typical, even taking that into account. Rue lingers by the doorway, half hidden for a few minutes. His quiet muttering and injury is what eventually draws her out.

Rue approaches quietly, cautiously. When she's close enough, she holds out a roll of bandages taken from their stash of medical supplies.]

[He hears her and he understands, but he also knows the reality of their world, and it scares him that she's so close to being there again.]

She doesn't deserve to go back.

Oh, I'm glad to hear that. It's a load off when they're around isn't it. Maybe if Annie...

[He shakes his head and takes a deep breath.]

When she comes back, we can take our girls out.

Annie's lost. I can't find her, and I don't know what could be happening to her.

[He's rubbing at his forehead. His eyes are shut tightly, as if he's having trouble grasping other things. He's focusing too hard on Annie.]

[His shoulders drop as he rubs at his face a few times. Shaking his head his murmurs.]

He'll hurt her if she goes back. She needs to be safe here...

[He jumps as he looks to her and he gives Rue a tired smile. He reaches out with his now bandaged hand and takes the bandages though.]

Sorry I was careless.

[She isn't sure what more can be said, and feels that maybe it was useless trying to comfort him when his mind has been so made up.]

I'm sorry then, that she's returned to a place that is more unpleasant than this one.

It's going to be okay, Finnick. [ She doesn't know that, of course, but she has to try to keep him calm. ] When was the last time you heard from her?

You mean like a double date? [ That sounds like fun. He's been on a double date before with Allison, her best friend and her boyfriend Jackson. That wasn't so fun because Jackson was being his usual douchey self, but Finnick seems nice and Scott likes him. ]

I am afraid that even if she would be here, whatever awaits her would only be postponed.

[ That's the harsh truth. ]

I guess if that's what they're called. That sounds like it would be fun.
