Who: Katniss Everdeen and OPEN What: Walking through the woods Where: The woods When: Wednesday afternoon Warnings: probably not Status: Open/Ongoing
The weather was unseasonably warm today, so Katniss was taking advantage of it and heading out to the woods to do some hunting. She was settling into her life here pretty well and knew that she would be perfectly content to stay in Madison Valley forever. Especially if Prim and Ash stayed. Her sister had opportunities here to live a life she would never get in Panem. And after all the confusion she went through with Gale and Peeta, Katniss found that being with Ash was uncomplicated and she appreciated that. In fact, she'd been thinking more and more that it was time for them to take the next step in their relationship and have sex. They had fooled around a lot, especially since the cruise, but they still hadn't gone 'all the way'.
Even though she hadn't said the words and might not say them for a long time still, she knew that she loved Ash. And she also knew from experience that either of them could end up being sent home at any time. She didn't want to have any regrets if that happened. The difficult part was that they lived with her sister and Johanna and the walls were thin. Katniss was far too private to do something like that at home, but she wasn't sure how to approach the idea of them spending the night elsewhere. Maybe once the weather was consistently better, they could go camping. Of course, that might be waiting too long.
She was so caught up in her thoughts that her bow hung in her hand and she hadn't actually taken aim at any of the animals who were also out enjoying the nice weather. In fact, she was startled when she heard the rustling of branches nearby and realized someone else was in the woods.
"Hello," she called, wanting to make her presence known.
