[There are a few caged tigers in the Capitol, and Johanna has seen them, so she's not clueless on that part of the story. She identifies with the tigers more than the stupid plucky family with their spears--why did they make spears that could be broken so easily, if they were going up against a tiger--so the best part of the story is definitely the part where the pirates get eaten by tigers. And of course she's listening, but not so rapt that she doesn't make snide remarks from time to time--jungles aren't the same as forests, but she's still done her share of surviving--
Still: she listens, and when Kate's yawns get so frequent that they start to interrupt the flow of the story, she reaches over to thump her hand, lightly, on Kate's stomach.]

Hey. Are you falling asleep on me?
