Ashton

then i appreciate the… servicing. Almost as much as I appreciate your vulnerability today. It helped.

Link

I am so sorry I said that.

Ashton

no more sorry than I am… but nonetheless, you should take the compliment

Link

hey, you’re the one out here looking fear in the eye and shit. you’re the badass phoenix rising from the ashes, i’m just some dude with a pen

Ashton is sliding into bed by this point, his eyelids heavy and threatening to close, but despite that, he isn’t in any kind of rush to end the conversation.

Ashton

you’re hardly so basic. if you were, we wouldn’t be having this conversation

Link

i’m the Cinna to your Katniss, deal with it

Ashton makes a face. That’s a far more platonic allusion than he would prefer, but it’s endearing, all the same, and it’s great fodder for a reply.

Ashton

Cinna is extremely important to Katniss’ character development and her survival in the Games. He’s also an excellent friend, a surprising ally in a sea of backstabbing users.

Link

Damn, Ash. you really just say things, don’t you?

Ashton

and to be very fair, we also wouldn’t be having this conversation if I wasn’t a complete, cursed disaster

Link

i think you mean charmed ;)

Ashton
