[It’s been a few days since anyone has actually seen Finnick around. After the whole, “I’m a crazy person freaking out over lizards trying to bite my head off” incident, he’s been holed up in Johanna’s suite, making a nice imprint in one half of her bed.

Which is where he’s at now, actually, as he makes this post. He looks tired and a bit dishevelled, but he smiles nonetheless.] Sorry to anyone who may have been trying to catch me back in the Water Sector. I needed a little time out for a bit there. [There’s a casual shrug.] I’ve been thinking about jobs, and there seems to be a business in fishing. They say do what you know how to do, but getting paid in secrets doesn’t keep you fed. Fishing’s the next best option-

[And in the middle of that, a hand connects with Finnick’s face and forcibly starts shoving him out of the chair and off screen. The rest of Johanna appears after he’s been pushed away, and those of you watching may notice she’s nude from the waist up. Probably more so, if the truth were known, but thankfully the camera isn’t panned out that far.

She makes herself comfy in her chair before addressing whoever happened to tune in.]

Enough of that riveting speech aside, somebody better be taking him off my hands. He doesn’t exactly make sleeping easy.

[Finnick pops back up behind her, rubbing his face.] You could have asked politely. It wouldn’t kill you. [Giving no fucks about her being naked, though.] What, you don’t like the way I cuddle?

You’re the one using my things. [And she reaches up to push at his face again, though with considerably less force than before.] I don’t like you screaming my name every hour on the hour.

Hey. [He pushes back at her face.] Sometimes I scream Annie’s name. Or Snow’s. Like you’re one to talk.

[Batting away his hand, she regards the camera with a curled lip of disgust.] See what I have to put up with? I’ll even pay you at this point.

[Whatever, Johanna. He leans closer so that his mouth his right against her ear, arms wrapping around her neck.] Are you in the business of selling me too, now?

[If she’s bothered by his touching, it doesn’t show. Far from it, she cranes her neck to give him a big smile.] For a decent night’s sleep, I’d practically give you away.

Looks like I’m being kicked out for the night. You hear that, ladies and gentleman? Nobody appreciates having a handsome man in their beds anymore. [He presses a kiss to her temple.] Fine, you smell anyway.

[ooc: regular is Finnick, red is Johanna. :'D]

[Finnick wishes this was game and not because he's delicate like a flower.]

I think I've seen her gut people who stared less than you. [A pause, and then a grin.] Although I guess she wouldn't get very far with you.

[zerotoawesome]

[Finnick you are too attractive and human to be having issues in this department like Santo... Or to be insecure like Santo.]

You know, that should probably be surprising to me, but I've met way too many pretty girls that know over a hundred ways to kill someone with just their pinky fingers.

Not that I'd be opposed to her trying. [Oh god, Santo, just stop.]

[insecrets]

[Being attractive is way too hard for Finnick sometimes. It's not insecurity so much as... Being a crazy person.]

That's my little Johanna. Except not with her pinky fingers. More like with an axe. She put on quite a show. [... He knows so many crazy people.]

You could do better, my friend.

[zerotoawesome]

[Santo understands. There's really no reason that he shouldn't be crazy, given all the things he's seen.]

Sounds like quite a woman. [Join the club, bro. They'll start a support group.]

Uh huh, and that's code for keeping her for yourself, right? [And now he's back to joking.]

[insecrets]

[The smile he flashes is completely sincere.] Or quite the vicious killer. [His tone is fond.]

Keeping her to myself? [Finnick laughs and shakes his vehemently.] That's not how it is between us.

[zerotoawesome]

Not the first one that I've met... I mean back home, not... Here. [He just got awkward on himself. He didn't mean it as in the hunger kids.]

Oh yeah? Sure looks like that's how it is. [He smirks a little, this is where he's lightly elbow you in the side if you were here, Finnick.]

[insecrets]

[Finnick just grins.] That you know of, at least.

[Now a chuckle. He could tell Santo about Annie, but she's special. He doesn't really want to talk about her.] It's good to have friends whose beds you can steal.

[zerotoawesome]

Nah, it's pretty much a requirement in the people I know... Back home. Not here. [But also here.]

It sounds like you've worn out your welcome, though.

[insecrets]

You manage to attract some strange people into your life, Santo. [Him included, lbr.]

She'll be happy to see me again in a day or two when she isn't so cranky anymore.

[zerotoawesome]

Have you taken a look at me, dude? Strange is pretty much par for the course. Besides, surrounding yourself with the coolest people pretty much invites strange into your life. [It's the strange ones that'll keep you alive.]

[insecrets]

[Finnick laughs, nodding a bit.] I can't help but agree with you there. I guess that's bound to happen.

[district7]

That almost hurts my feelings.

Where'd you find him?

[insecrets]

You have feelings? [Call him shocked.]

Why, jealous?

[district7]

He knows how to compliment, for a mutt.

[insecrets]

That's racist. [:'D]

[district7]

Is that supposed to mean something to me?

[insecrets]

Play nice.

[district7]

I just complimented him, didn't I?

[insecrets]

[A pause.] You did, didn't you? [Placing a hand to her forehead.] You must be sick.

[zerotoawesome]

What he said!

[district7]

Try not to take it personally.
