Day 7: Hunger Games
Pairing: Haymitch/Effie
Haymitch watched as Effie practically ran to and fro, trying to take as much in as possible. He couldn't blame her; the valley was breathtaking in the winter, when the snow covered the trees and reflected the sunlight, making the white glow brightly.
For a moment, Effie stood completely sill, just looking across at the majestic mountains that surrounded the valley. Haymitch took this opportunity to come up beside her and take her hand. He chuckled when he saw her awe-struck face.
"So I take it you like it?" he asked, squeezing her hand gently. She turned her head to him.
"Oh, Haymitch, I love it! It's so...natural!" He understood her enthusiasm at it being 'natural'. Having grown up in the Capitol, Effie must have been surrounded by man-made things, so he could see how something could appeal to her because it was 'natural'.
After a few moments, Haymitch leaned towards her so that their shoulders were touching and whispered,
"Merry Christmas, Princess."
