Sad Tidings [ Video ]

I know this is coming kind of late, so sorry about that, but you just have to be sure, you know? I didn't want to write her off and cause a panic or have that stupid kid give me the look for a week... 

But... yeah, I'm pretty sure Arya Stark has gone home, and Nymeria with her. 

[ There's obvious sadness on his face and his voice, though he's trying to do his manly and captainly best and hold it back. But, he had cared for that little girl. She was such a tomboy, and he had even grown to like Nymeria, even if he had to clean her fur off the couch twice a day or else he'd be as furry as she was. 

The house was just... emptier now. Like part of his crew was gone, an empty chair not yet filled on his deck. It hurt. ]

_{[ Did he want company? Probably. Kirk sulked, but he wasn't one to sulk alone. He tried it, now and again, but it usually led to fights. So being alone might not be a good thing for him after all... ]}

Yeah, sure. But not here. I need to get out of here for a bit.

[She could understand that. Their house had been one of the last places Katniss wanted to be when she had found him gone. The treehouse was a close second. But most of her memories there still involved Rue, not Peeta.

She understood the need to get away.]

Where do you want to go?

[universal_charm]

I don't know. Either some place where I can get a good drink or some place where I can maybe punch a tree and no one will care.

_{[ He's at least being honest with his feelings, if not out right saying them. But those two seemed like his favorite options right now. ]}

[She wasn't exactly fond of drinking. Hadn't thought much of it before ever trying some of Haymitch's white liquor. Certainly despised it after drinking far too much the day they announced the Quarter Quell and getting sick. Alcohol wasn't a solution in her opinion. It'd never be.

But saying that now wouldn't help Jim. He wasn't Haymitch. As far as she knew, he didn't use the bottle as a way to numb horrible memories.]

There's a bar here. And a forest.
