[Pages 73-85]
~FD can pick a quote too~
"Perhaps the girl doesn’t even remember me. But I know she does. You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope."
(most powerful quote yet, imo)
~Stuff that happened~
So they enter the training center and then do.... absolutely no training!
They eat a big meal (again). They talk to all of the people who are 'in their corner' which atm includes Eiffel, Haymich, and the two stylists Cinna and Portia. Eiffel is clearly clueless, but now that her two charges are recognizable she actually seems to be trying to prove her worth. Completely brain dead mind you, but at least she's trying.
During dinner she recognizes one of the servants. It's a girl who was running through the wilderness in district 12 once. Her and Gale were on the hunt per usual when they heard two people fleeing for their lives. Moments later the girl is captured and her friend is murdered. Kat regrets not doing something to help at the time.
Then its on to the roof where Kat and Peeta have a conversation in which Kat relates the story of the slave girl. Peeta seems to be as nice as ever while he listens to rooftop story time.
~Forceful's Thoughts~
Peeta is being extremely nice, but the entire time Kat is being inwardly suspicious about his motivations for doing so. The fact that she is being so suspicious of every little thing makes me reconsider my thoughts about him. Now it seems more likely that she will continue to doubt him and then become truly saddened later on when he does something selfless to save her. And then she can feel extra bad for having been suspicious of him the entire time!
But It would still kickass if he became a villain. Then everything in retrospect becomes so cold and calculated and incredibly more impressive.

How do I know they’re pyromaniacs? First the clothes. Then the cake. You only get two strikes people!
Katniss just so happens to lock eyes with a beautiful red haired girl. She’s such a player that she tries to pick her up with the whole “don’t I know you?” line, but everyone in the room is too smart for that.
XD reading your write-ups adds so much fun Crim. I really enjoy the presentation and the "different angle" you present, even though I'm sure you don't actually believe that Katniss is just brimming with passion for every girl she locks eyes with.
Anyways, next chapter sounds like it's going to be Training with Haymich. I wonder what he has in mind, and I wonder what kind of strengths Peeta can bring to bear. It was mentioned that he was broad shouldered and strong as a baker's son, but I'm sure he doesn't have nearly the level of experience that Kat's particular upbringing will give her.
I also wonder just how much of this book is going to take place before the games begin. But the book hasn't felt slow yet so I'll just enjoy the ride while they line up sponsors and whatever else.
