ned, pleased with the fact that she was just as interested to stay outside as he was. He really doubted he'd be able to get into that house, anyway. If the whole perimeter had been salted, who knew what kind of wards were set for the house itself? He didn't really want to give himself away this soon to try and find out, that much was for sure. Shit, this was disgusting. If they were so damn in love, why was this kid jonesing so bad? And why the hell was she so shy? Trying to get in her pants outside was probably a no go, because it was likely too cold for her taste, but...was it even really worth it to try anything? These two were wastes of space. Really, they were.
Still, he returned her smile and when she had a chipper reply, complete with a laugh that told him he'd done well enough pretending to be playing around, he wrapped his arms around her. Okay, fine. This was fine for a moment but she just...stayed there. No wonder this kid had to jerk it every morning in the shower; what a tease. "This is good," he replied, rolling his eyes. Yeah...no, this was no good. What a bore. He'd planned on waiting a little longer, but this was just too much.
The demon reached into Peeta's pocket with one hand and pulled out the knife, returning his arm to wrap around her again, flipping up the blade behind her back. "Katniss, I just want to say..." he started slowly, pulling away from her a little to look her in the eye. "...you looked really beautiful today." He smirked and blinked, hiding the whites of Peeta's eyes behind his own black ones. His grip tightened on her. "It's really too bad you can't stay that way."
