New roomate - locked to Bob Fraser

[primeverdeen]

Prim woke when the alarm on her padd woke her. Time to feed Buttercup and Lady. Then she could go to sleep again. She might have nightmares when she slept, but at least in the nightmares.... Katniss is there. At least she's not alone.

But when she woke up...

She got up and fed the animals, refilling their water bowls. She was about to go to back to bed, then she saw the notice on her padd, waiting for her.

A new roommate. She went to Katniss' side of the quarters. Touched Katniss' bed. No trace of her warmth left.

And then... then someone else will come... and use her bed?

She sank to the floor, tears running down her face. Someone else is taking Katniss' place. But...

....

... does that mean that... she really.... isn't coming back?

When her new roommate came in, he'd find her sitting on the floor beside the bed that's made and neat, sobbing into her hands.

And she wasn't sure, herself, what to say.

Normally, if there was nothing for him to say, he'd disappear or vanish or something, but that didn't feel right for some reason, so he began whittling. Where the wood came from was a mystery (though the knife less so amusingly, having come from his Sam Browne).

His concentration was fully on it.

She stared for a while, not sure what to do, but then acceded to Buttercup's bored complaints and went to feed and give water to the animals quietly.
