[DON'T INSULT HER TEETH she has great teeth the Capitol made sure of that]
They couldn't keep an eye on us if we were in treehouses.
[They. It might sound like she means adults, parents--but really, she means Peacekeepers. Just thinking of them makes her hands feel tight, like she should be gripping at her axe. Instead she laces her fingers together and stretches them out in front of her.]
We climbed a lot of trees. And sometimes we made little platforms. If you had to be up in the higher branches, it was easier. We were supposed to take them down when we were done, but they got left up overnight sometimes. And I've slept in trees before.
Don't tell me you expect a whole house. I'm not even sure I want to do a ring.
