He keeps falling. Jfc. I mean. Oh dear. Where are my manners? I walk over to help him, still on my tippy toes as if I’m in heels. I need my heels. My eyes cast over him for a moment, taking in how he’s relatively healthy.

“I’m glad you’re safe too. I got a bag for you to get sick in.”

A small smile crosses over my face. This dear man. Where is that cat? Small talk is awkward. Oh Haymitch.

"Well I got you another one. For next time."

My eyes are crinkling. Is it exhaustion? Am I getting old rapidly? Oh Ripred, being cut off from Capitol air has changed me. I am aging. No. I blink. Oh. Nevermind. Just a mild panic attack.

"That cat is missing in action. Buttercup? Buttercup, stop hiding! You're not showing proper manners! It's rude to ignore people!"

I sigh. What is Effie doing just yelling that that? "Effie, wait--"

Wait, was that a meow?

Sure enough as soon as I look behind us I see an orange bundle of fur sliding rapidly toward us. There's the little tiger. "Look who decided to join us," I say as I catch him.
