earthborn: (patience is a virtue)

The way his expression shutters is a message all on its own; but then, things had been different, for the outworlder tributes, compared to the natives. Dangerous as he could be, nobody would assume Finnick Odair had the moves of a master assassin, or the willingness to die that it took to steal a peacekeeper's gun and open fire.

Or make a suicidal bombing-run with homemade explosives. That had been an interesting day. Things got a lot more locked-down, after that, and nobody ever gave Shepard something like a house except that every inch at every angle was on somebody's viewscreen.

Even if it weren't true, how could she just... sleep, unguarded?

"I can't put you out, Finnick," She says, despite the temptation, but it sounds halfhearted even to Shepard, "That's your home."
