Gale stands beside his younger brother outside of his new friend's house.
"Do I have to meet her, Gale?" Rory whines.
"Yes. You do. Now quit complaning and just be nice, okay?"
The boy grumbles but in the end he nods. "Fine."
Gale rolls his eyes, saying, "Really, more enthusiasm would have been greatly appreciated." His little brother just ignores him.
He knocks on the door and grabs his brother's shoulder before he manages to run away, and Katniss answers it.
"Hi, Catnip."
"Gale." She looks at Rory, and grins. "Prim!"
The blonde girl appears behind her older sister, with a small smile on her face. "Prim, this Rory. Rory, Prim," Katniss says, as her sibling just stays silent behind.
It's Rory who makes the first move. "Hi."
"Hi."
Gale sees the tension between them, quickly saying, "Why don't you play outside? By the meadow?"
"Sure."
"Sure."
"Off you go then, Prim." She hugs her sister and runs off after Rory, who's already gone.
