[For Katniss Everdeen] Doggies are a girl's best friend

[death_dawg]

Perhaps, a day or two after her conversation with Shadow, when Katniss is heading out on her watch, she might hear an energetic but not frantic clicking of nails on the tiles of the hallway. If she looks in the direction of the sound, she might spy a smallish black dog, a golden collar about his neck, with decidedly large pointed ears standing

She sees the dog and smiles.

"Oh, hello," she says, reaching down to pet the pup.

He'll emit a happy, friendly rumble and, typist willing, almost cat-like, he'll gently nudge his head against her hand, clearly glad to find a friend, and her in particular.

Katniss grins a little, pleased.

"You're really nice," she says, petting him some more.

"You can rub my ears: I'd like that," the dog says, in a deep, deadpan but friendly voice.
