Pairing - Cinna/Portia
prompt - inspiration
concentration (sort of)
He knows everything about designing. It's amazing. He can do just about anything and it's amazing.
She'd admire him, but Portia is not distracted by the wonder of it. She's focusing on her own work, stitching and sketching and flitting from piles of fabric to rows of tools. Portia has to concentrate.
Still, sometimes she has to pause for a second to smile while he talks in his quiet, even voice, discussing ideas so vividly. He's more inspiring than Katniss is - that's what she thinks - because after all, he's the behind-the-scenes person making her so flashy and symbolic, right?
He works quickly with a precise hand, and she's jealous.
("I made this design, isn't it nice?" she'd say, and it's inspired by his own inspiration.)
(He smiles, and nods. Her heart swells, but that's all before she goes back to concentrating.)
