Rue smirked at Katniss as they ate their dinner, "What is it?" Katniss asked.

"Do you like him?"

"Like who?"

"Peeta." She giggled. Katniss fought the urge to roll her eyes.

"I don't know we've never talked."

"So?" She smiled wider, "You don't have to know a boy to like him."

"I like him well enough. I mean in school he was nice I guess."

Rue sighed, "Yeah but do you like, like him? You know Like him."

"I don't have time to think about that. Especially not now."

Rue looked down at her food before raising it to her mouth. She chewed a bit before asking her next question, "Have you ever been in love?"

Katniss didn't answer at first, "No. But I've seen it."

"What do you think it's like."

Katniss half smiled, "While you have it, love is the most wonderful thing in the world. It makes you smile and stupid. But when you lose it, it's like you have nothing left to give."

Rue looked up at her comrade, "You don't believe in love do you?"

"Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts? Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts. So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess, and to stop the muscle that makes us confess.

"And we are so fragile, and our cracking bones make noise. And we are just, breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys." Katniss shrugged before taking a drink of water.

Rue laughed, "I don't believe anyone feels like that."

Katniss laughed as well, "Well love is hard. You fasten my seat belt because it is the law. In your two ton death trap I finally saw. A piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret. Then you drove me to places I'll never forget.

"And we are so fragile, and our cracking bones make noise. And we are just, breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

"And we are so fragile, and our cracking bones make noise. And we are just, breakable, breakable, breakable girls- Breakable, breakable, breakable girls- Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys."

Rue looked at Katniss, "So you do like him like that."

Katniss laughed, "Come on let's go set up a camp."

Rue snickered, "You aren't denying it."

"Oh hush!"
