Gale made it down to the beach quickly. Since his arrival, he had purchased some beach wear for this trip, sick of the clothes he arrived it. He looked good in the bermudas and sandals, although it was still a bit strange. He saw Katniss down by the water and kicked off the sandals, splashing in himself.
Since coming here, he had tried to put certain memories out of his mind about Panem. He would need to explain what happened with Prim eventually. The guilt was always there, but for now, he was excited to see her. "Hi," he grinned, looking down at her with his feet in the water. Part of him wanted to grab her and squeeze, but he wasn't sure how she would take it, so he settled for his usual grin.
