Second Rebellion; Short and to the point Voice;

[His voice is tight, trying to keep complete control over his emotions is the name of the game.

Haymitch's departure had been announced, it was a way to say farewell maybe.

Since they did not get the chance otherwise.]

Primrose Everdeen has went home....

[He shuts his device off, no one can see it but there sure is a drink in front of him. War, departures, it all was settling in on his shoulders now.]

[ Katniss refuses to turn her video on, because she has already broken due to this fact. Because without Prim here, the reality that she's dead sinks in. Fast, and hard... ]

... She'll - [ Katniss can't bring herself to say 'be alright', but... She has to find some way to console him, as an extension of consoling herself. ] - Probably come back again, sometime...

[ Allison didn't know Primrose, she doesn't think (it's not a common name, so she's pretty sure she'd remember it) but that doesn't change the fact that she looks a little concerned about Gale's loss. ]

I'm sorry. It's never hard losing people here, even if it'd probably better that they're home again. [ That's what she keeps trying to tell herself in regard to Lydia being sent home again. ]

[ she walks in just as he's turning off his bracelet. she'd heard his message through the door, and waited for him to finish recording it before she stepped in. there are certain kinds of lines in the slant of his shoulders that she can see from the back, and when she steps up behind him it's so she can run her hands over his back and shoulders. ]

Hey- [ jo ducks around his side, one hand still on his back and the other now having slid around his stomach. ] You okay?

[Inara had never met Primrose, but she does know what it's like to have people come and go.]

I'm very sorry.

[He heard her before she said anything, the muscles may not relax, the pain does not disappear. But, there is a comfort in that touch, one he has come to rely on. One he does not hide from accepting as her hands settle on him an arm immediately winds around her waist.

He turns his head to her, forehead to forehead and just closes his eyes. Having her close meant so much to him and his answer is honest, he doesn't hide from her or pretend.]

No...she's just gone. I've always watched out for Prim, now I can't.

[He wishes he could tell himself that, except, he knows what is waiting for Prim at home. She has not even survived the bombing in her timeline yet. His heart is aching for her.]

Thanks Allison, it would be nice if I could think that but, war, not sure if that is better than here.

[Still so much alike he leaves it to voice as well. He doesn't even know, but with her gone a part of him feels like she has. Prim being here had made that sense of home so very real.]

Yeah, I mean, we all have. [He pauses, Gale knows Katniss is the only one right now who knows exactly what he is feeling.]

We should go hunting tomorrow.....

[He sticks to voice, his eyes and face give too much away for Gale at this moment.]

Thanks, it's a risk of being here looks like.

[Inara's nice enough to flip it to voice herself.]

The risk of being here doesn't mean it's something we get use to. I still haven't. Will you be all right?

[He appreciates it.]

Going to have to be, no other options.

That might be true. If you do need to talk, sometimes it's easier to talk to someone you don't know.

[ If only Posy and the others could join them. Even their mothers. Katniss can only wish, despite the fact that she isn't close with her mother. ]

Mm.

[ To the suggestion of hunting, however, she seems to perk up. ]

That's the best idea I've heard in days.

Meet you in the park at dawn?

[It would be perfect if they could have their families here. But, Gale is grateful for one thing, they still have each other. They still have a chance to fix all that the Capitol broke, their friendship.]

Never tried it, guess if you find time for a drink at the Roadhouse we'll find out.

You will tell me if there's anything I can do, won't you?

[Though it's phrased as a question, Annie clearly isn't making this optional. She's determined to take care of Gale, whether or not he admits he needs the help. They may all have more experience with loss than they should, but that doesn't ever make it easier.]

Dawn it is.

[ She's relieved they're taking this step, especially since their last conversation wasn't exactly... the friendliest. With that, she ends the feed.

And the next day at dawn, she finds their spot. She has a fresh quiverfull of arrows and her bow ready to go, along with an extra for him, in case he doesn't bring one or doesn't want to use the ones they've stashed. Sometimes she wonders if they'll come up missing, if only for the fact that far more people frequent these outdoors than did they ever in Twelve. ]

[It is not a moment in which he can smile, however, Gale does feel that faint lightening in his soul that came with having friends that you knew you could count on.]

I will Annie, I give my word. Keep an eye on Katniss, she is going to take this hard and I don't live with her.

[There is pain but there is also hope. If he and Katniss can keep moving forward from here they can hold on to that hope and he is really hoping that is possible.

He had the workings of his latest snare design in his hands as well as a few game bags slung over his shoulders.

When he saw her with the arrows he gave a genuine smile.]

Hey Catnip.

[ Katniss can't help but light up when she sees him. Even with how tired she is, how much older she is - and probably looks, and holds herself - how events have given her years she didn't need to be aged, her face brightens with a sunshiney smile as he approaches. Here, it could be better. He wouldn't be in District Two... And here, he didn't remember. He didn't know... She would have to try to forget, too. As much as she could. To save their friendship. To save what they still have left. ]

Ready to bring home a few dinners?

Definitely, been too long since I've had fresh game.

[Not that he slacked in his hunting duties but for the most part that went to the Safehouse, this was for them. This was to feel normal, to feel like themselves again and he held a hand out for one of the bows. while offering her a game bag.]

Of course. Katniss and you and the others, you're like family. Whatever I can do, I will.

[ Katniss easily slings the bow out of its place, over her head from across her chest, and holds it out to him. She replaces it with the game back. It almost feels as if nothing has ever changed. Almost. ]

Just for us, anyway. I'm personally hoping for a few nice, fat ducks.

I'm glad we're here together Annie, you're stronger than others give you credit for.

[It as close to those days which seem so long that they have been since before she first left for the Games. His grin is still in place as he sets off, knowing she'll be right at his side.]

I wouldn't mind duck cooked over an open fire.

[ Katniss can feel the saliva forming already. She makes a quiet hum of approval in her throat, which then grows into a louder "mMMMMmmm". They no longer starve, no longer want for food like they used to... But the thought of a freshly hunted animal roasting like those familiar days so long ago in Twelve still makes her mouth water like she hasn't had meat in months. ]

And maybe some rabbit stew... Oh, and if we're lucky... Venison.
