What?

[Snapping out of it, Korrin looks back at Katniss in momentary confusion.]

...oh. No, it's not you. I just can't seen to stay put. Blame being stuck in those healing tents for far too long.

[Katniss nods, and lets out a soft, 'Ah'.]

Yeah, I didn't like being cooped up either.

[They ride along in silence for a few more minutes, before Katniss eyes her friend again.]

You sure that's it?

[gatheringstorm]

It's definitely a big part. I haven't been that sick in forever, and never while dealing with Fade-crap at the same time.

[Her nose wrinkles just thinking about it.]

...I'm worried for Fate, too. He's already getting weirdly quiet. I hate to think what this will do to him when we finally get there.

[the_effect_she_has]

Yeah. Something I don't want to see ... ever. Again.

[She looks behind them, then sighs.]

It's like walking back into a prison. I understand.

[gatheringstorm]

[Korrin doesn't glance back, but she nods, echoing the sigh.]

You know, I visited a Dalish clan last month with Beleth and the others. I gave the children should rides, and one girl helped Cyril make me a flower crown, of sorts. I doubt this visit is going to be nearly as pleasant.

...are you going to be alright, going there? From what Fate said, I wouldn't expect a warm welcome from them.

[the_effect_she_has]

I don't give a rat's ass what these people think of me, Korrin.

[Is Katniss's firm reply, as she looked over at her friend.]

I know what I am to most of the Dalish clans. A shem, a dirty human whose father disgraced a proud member of the People, and all that bullshit. If that's all they want to see me as, that's their loss.

[That response gets a small grin from the Vashoth woman, pleased though not really surprised.]

See, that's why I like you. You don't give a flying fuck about putting up with that nugshit. We'll do what we came to do and if they're ungrateful about it, then we flip them off on our way out.
