*takes a huge bite of his bird and moans* Heavenly. You a chef back home, Charlotte?

Date: 2012-10-17 11:49 pm (UTC)I stuck them in the fire, Finnick.
It's not bad on it's own though... They must be fattening up for winter.
Have you...tried to go back?

Date: 2012-10-18 02:31 am (UTC)I'm sorry about Danny. I know how much... Well, I'm sure you'll get something soon. You're stubborn enough.
*shakes his head, throwing a bone over his shoulder, his eyes fixed on his food* Nothing to go back to, Charlie.
-Finnick
no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 02:43 am (UTC)*wants to say she's sorry, but from his tone and the way he's holding himself, she decides that whatever it is that changed him from his usual over the top self in that moment? Would be best left alone until he's ready*
You could always... I mean I know it's not what you're used to, but...
It would be good to have someone like you there.
If you wanted.
*becomes rather interested in her food until she gives up and pulls out the bag of marshmallows*
The...display seemed interesting. It looked like you just...heat them a little.

no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 02:47 am (UTC)*looks up, eyebrows raised* Why, Charlotte, are you proposing we make this arrangement permanent?
*he smiles at her, less sarcastically than usual for a moment before snatching the bag away*
Get some sharp pointy sticks that don't have bird blood on them. I'm pretty sure I know how this works.

Date: 2012-10-18 02:55 am (UTC)*She grabs a couple more skewers and hands them over*
I was just... Things are so...
You're a good fighter.
For a guy with a seafork.
It'd be... We'd get Danny back for sure. Help a lot of other people too.

Date: 2012-10-18 03:04 am (UTC)*he's quiet while he sticks two marshmallows on the end of each stick and then meets her eyes when he hands one back*
I know what it's like to lose your family, Charlie. I can't get mine back. But I'll help you with yours.
*looks into the fire for a second and then back at her with a mischievous grin on his face* But I think we should wear matching feather outfits if we're going to team up.
-Finnick
no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 03:14 am (UTC)Are you gonna design them? You did so well with yours earlier.
*she follows his lead, holding her marshmallows over the flames and twisting it slowly in her fingers. She catches herself glancing back at him, wondering what happened to his family and she's startled when her marshmallow's catch fire*
Oh! *she pulls them away from the fire and blows on them to put the fire out* I don't think that was...what was supposed to happen... *sheepish look* Guess that blows the chef thing out of the water, huh?

Date: 2012-10-18 03:32 am (UTC)*he looks at her fondly and then hands over his stick with two perfectly, lightly toasted marshmallows*
You handled dinner, dessert is on me.
And when this little vacation is over, we'll get started on finding Danny. You and me against the world as usual.

Date: 2012-10-18 03:47 am (UTC)You sure know how to ruin the mood, don't you, Gimpy? You're so lucky you're cute and wearing a nice pair of jeans.
*stabs another couple marshmallows and sticks them in the fire, looking at the forest around them as it starts to get dark*
This is scarily reminiscent of the Hunger Games. *he tries to keep his tone light* Smack me if I start having flashbacks
-Finnick
no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 03:57 am (UTC)*sits back down beside him and smiles tenatively* And are you really giving me permission to smack you? Who knows if I will be able to tell a flashback from not a flashback?
Do you...? *stops herself from saying that they could hike out if he wanted to*
Do you...think you can eat more...marshmallows than me? *lame, but she had to cover somehow. She wouldn't want someone thinking she couldn't handle something, so she doesn't want to pull that card with Finnick*
- Charlie
no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 06:29 pm (UTC)I'm betting you hit like a girl anyway so *shoves a marshmallow in his mouth and smiles* And I'd bet my life on that one, Gimpy.
*he stands up, tossing the marshmallow bag at her head and shakes out the sleeping bag next to the fire, a safe distance away* I'll let your wounded ego have the side next to the heat.
-Finnick
no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 07:14 pm (UTC)*She gets up and brushes off her jeans* Such a gentleman... My wounded ego and I are grateful.
*she takes off her leather jacket to use it as a pillow, rolling it up and setting it down at the top of the sleeping back, tucking her hands in her pockets to keep from wrapping them around herself. it's not snow cold, but definitely chilly at night.*

Date: 2012-10-18 10:22 pm (UTC)*he holds it open* Come on, Charlie, before you freeze to death.
-Finnick
no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 11:10 pm (UTC)*grins* My arm always ends up going numb when I try that.
*she scoots down in the bag and then lays down and looks up at the stars*
- Charlie
no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 11:23 pm (UTC)*moves his head closer to hers on the jacket*
Too kind of you.
*he looks up at the stars, following her gaze, and then back to her* Sure is pretty out here.
-Finnick
no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 11:33 pm (UTC)*she nods a little in agreement and then glances at him, but can't remember what she was going to say when she meets his gaze. she shivers and it has nothing to do with the chill in the air* It...is...
- Charlie
no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 11:37 pm (UTC)*but he is and he can't pretend that it's...the way it was with the parade of lovers the Capitol forced on him... He hasn't ever had to pretend with her*
*that's almost worse*
*he reaches out and runs one finger down her cheek, his eyes looking her over closely although not sure what for*
You're gonna drive me crazy before this is over, you know that, Gimpy?
-Finnick
no subject
Date: 2012-10-19 12:28 am (UTC)Sorry? *her voice is soft, but it kinda feels like she can't breathe*
- Charlie
no subject
Date: 2012-10-19 12:32 am (UTC)Are you, Charlotte? Sorry? I haven't figure out if I am or not yet.
*he's gotten the distinct feeling over the time they've known each other that she's never done...anything. That this is all new to her in the same way it sort of is for him too*
*smiles* Yeah, you might be.
-Finnick
no subject
Date: 2012-10-19 12:42 am (UTC)I could...try not to... *she knows it would be better for warmth if they were both facing the same direction, but she can't make herself turn away* I know I drive Uncle Miles crazy too sometimes...

Date: 2012-10-19 12:47 am (UTC)Stop being so pretty.
Stop being funny.
Stop annoying me to the point of absolute insanity and then making me want to spend all my time with you anyway.
Stop looking so happy every time I do something that even I know is completely unimpressive, like giving you that postcard.
There's a handful of other things but that'd be a good start.
