I- [ he groans, breathing labored ] I lied, I'm sorry.

[ he grips her hand, eyes wide and a little frantic ]

About where I was. I didn't want-

[ he clenches his jaw, spasming in pain ]

[effective]

[A kind of fear fills her when he tells her that he lied, and a thousand possibilities crowd her head. She's almost relieved when he tells her the truth]

You idiot. [She crouches lower, throwing his arm around her neck. There's a very brief moment where she hesitates at having his hand so close to her throat, but he's hurt and it's her fault, so she's just going to have to deal with it] Come on, get your feet under you. I'm going to take you to help. This situation? This is exactly why I wanted to know where you were.

[howherolls]

Trying to save me again, huh? [ he goes to smile but the poison makes his jaw clench again. he staggers up, head lolling onto her shoulder as it can't support its own weight ]

It feels like...my leg...everywhere.

[effective]

Always. [She doesn't have anything else left.

A thread of panic works its way through her when his head lolls like that] I'm not losing the rest of you like you lost your leg. Peeta, if you die on me, I will never forgive you. Do you understand me?

[howherolls]

I. [ he spasms ] Think I prefer it to you finishing me off.

[ he's in a lot of pain, but he attempts a smile ]

Apparently the dead come back to life here.

[effective]

[She'd hit him if he wasn't in so much pain]

Don't be stupid.

They have healers here. We'll find one, and you'll be fine.

[howherolls]

[ he gives a weak nod ]

Last time they. Only took a limb.

[ his eyes start to unfocus ]

[effective]

Peeta. [The thread of panic in her voice tightens, becomes more obvious] Peeta! Look at me, I'm right here. I'm right here. You're not going to lose anything this time, okay?

just close your eeeeeeeeeeyes

[howherolls]

[his raspy breathing slows, it's clear from his expression that he is relapsing back into Capitol memories ]

The Hanging Tree.

That was the song you sang, the one that made the birds stop chirping.

punches u

[effective]

[She's not sure what he's getting at, if her singing is a good thing or a bad thing to him] Was - was the song shiny, or not? Should I sing now? [Katniss Everdeen, crisis management]

JUST GIVE ME A REASON JUST A LITTLE BIT'S ENOUGH

[howherolls]

You told me to meet you there.

[ he goes to lift his arm, but can't. instead it hangs lifeless as his eyes start to slide close ]
