Katniss pressed her lips together at that, folding her arms over her chest as she thought on that. So, take your emotions. Look at them, decide which ones were pretty and she wanted to put out. Take the ugly ones, put them and lock them up. Only show people the ones they would feel comfortable with.

Supress. Study. Control. She looked up, before she nodded her head slowly, "...I have to grab ahold of my emotions. Then use the ones that are going to be useful for the situation."

"I struggle with it all the time. Mostly, if I feel scared, or angry, or even happy ... I go to this." And then Katniss put on her impassive face, completely empty of emotions. As if nothing that was being said was affecting her one way or another.

She sighed, tugging on her braid once, as she frowned on the field, "And I've seen that face - it's my mother's face when she told us things she knew we wouldn't like." That she was leaving. Why they couldn't go with her and be a family. "Sometimes I wonder if I've managed to lock everything down with that face - and I don't know how to look happy when I'm actually thinking I am happy."

Katniss paused at that gesture -- she had to get used to that, people reaching out and touching her. Especially since it kept on happening. In turn though, she gave Beleth a quick, quiet smile. Not fake, persay, but real for a short amount of time before her expression switched back to neutral.

"Thank you. Since you're something of an expert ... it means a lot to hear you say that." Seriously, Beleth was good. If Katniss was half the shot that Beleth was with expressing herself with real, or fake warmth? Shed be the best shot in the Inquisition.
