Robin tilted her head and looked intently at the burnette. Something about the stiffness in her voice made the younger girl cringe.

She swallows hard, blinking back the hot tears that threaten to pour out. Not here. Not ever. A distraction…
"That's the Justice Building." Her arm swings toward the white building, looking out of place amidst the grimy streets of Twelve.

"What's that?" She murmered, still looking at Katniss. The way her eyes contained now emotion-- yet they looked... weird someway.

"What?" Her voice is still choked, and she curses herself silently. Never show emotion. The one rule she enforces. That, and don't get caught.

Robin hesitated, then she stepped forward and hugged Katniss.

Startled by the sudden motion, she jolts backward. But only for a second. Her arms creep around Robin's slim shoulders.

I sniff in tears and smile slightly:

She hugs Robin tightly, not wanting to ever let go. But she knows she must. Robin must have a family, something back in Nine to look forward to.

I cringe to the ground and hold my knees to my chest. Tears run down my perfect cheeks as I cry.

"Robin?" she croaks, the tightness in her throat hard to talk around.

Robin looks up at Katniss, "Yes?" While doing so she releases Katniss and turns to Clove. She crouches on the ground beside her and wraps both arms around the slim figure of the blonde.
These girls had done so much for her and now it was Robin's turn.

"Do you have a family back home, in your District? Something, anything, to look forward to seeing?"

Tears drip onto Robins arms and my shirt. I take in the hit and put my thin but muscle filled arms around her lightly. I put my head on Robins small shoulder and my golden blonde ringlets cascade around my face and drape over Robins delicate arms.

She hugs Clove tightly and at Katniss's voice she closes her eyes, and they instantly filled with horrible flashbacks and nightmares. Then in a flash of light, she sees a figure lying in her arms. She swallows the bile building in her throat and keeps her voice as steady as she can. "I don't k-know."

"I… I'm sorry. I have to go." She runs, unable to hold her tears any longer. She runs to the mines, sits in the coal dust. And sobs. Her tears form blotchy circles in the black dirt. She cries for her father, for Prim. For her mother, just going through the motions. For everyone but herself.
