[ the announcement about the LINKS seems like it can't even be real, at first. but once it sinks in, Jack thinks Hiccup and he thinks Katniss — he gets so twisted up and miserable sometimes, knowing that one day they'll go their separate ways and Jack will go back to being completely alone, that Eudio is just a tiny moment of happiness that he can't keep because it's not really his.
and now he can. he won't have to leave this behind forever, won't go back to the way things always have been, he could talk to them once a year and it would still be better than nothing for another century. (it will hit him later that maybe they won't want to stay in touch. that maybe he's fun enough to keep here but not something to take home with them, or maybe they'll just finally be sick of him by then. but for now he's just blindingly happy with the possibility.)
so once the news goes out, and Jack actually processes all of it, he bolts off — and no matter where Katniss is, she's going to be very suddenly greeted by him swooping towards her and grabbing her around the middle in a tight hug. he doesn't even stop to put his feet on the ground, just clings to her with his head pressed to her stomach and his legs up in the air. ]
Katniss, did you hear? Did you hear? [ he's laughing, and maybe his voice cracks a bit and he's a little teary-eyed, but he's just so glad, so relieved. ]
[ katniss is in the woods, where she spends the majority of her time these days - often inconveniently without her device, so she misses the announcement about the LINKS. all that being said, she's spent enough time here in eudio that she doesn't startle when jack picks her up, instead throwing her arms around him in return and hanging on tight.
jack is one of the very few people she feels comfortable with like this. if anyone from home saw her, they'd probably be shocked, but she doesn't think of herself in terms like that, so she's not thinking about how strange it is. she's just happy. ]
Jack - [ his laughter makes her laugh too, even if she hasn't figured out what's going on yet. ] What? What is it?
[ whatever it is, it's obviously not a bad thing, so she's not nervous. not in the slightest, weirdly enough. ]
