[ a few days into Jack's self-imposed exile in the mountains after coming to the alarming realisation that he's attracted to Hiccup, he picks a fight with his newly found pyrokinetic enemy to deal with how angry he is at himself. Nimue is there to heal his wounds now, but there's less to be done about the state of his hoodie; Gansey and Ronan need his stipend money for more important things like food, and he can't even steal things like he would at home.
so, new plan that still avoids having to talk to Hiccup. ]
hey katniss mind if i come by the treehouse when hiccup's not around and steal a sweater or something from you? my hoodie's toast
you can have whatever you want i don't have hoodies, but jackets and sweaters and scarves i could get you a hoodie if you don't like anything
[ there's an unspoken question in all that, but she doesn't need to know it right away. is he all right? she assumes he would be, or he'd say that first. ]
nothing really i'm just spending some time in the mountains until i figure out how to ignore a problem!! and i kind of bolted from his room and he hasn't seen me since, it might have freaked him out sooo i was just asking to see if i'm in trouble when i get back
ok do you need food or anything? i'd assume you might be in a little bit of trouble if you just ran out but the kind of trouble where he's worried about you and all
nope, don't have to eat other than grabbing that sweater i'll be fine sheesh he's such a mother hen!! i'm older than him, i can't believe i get in trouble for this
maybe i want to pay you back not that the offer means much since you have free access to snow days whenever you want anyway
don't let my youthful good looks fool you, i'm 300 & counting
that guy is too nice for his own good and hey you can have wintry favors whenever you want, on the house i will also peg snowballs at anyone you don't like or at people you do like, if you feel that they need to get hit with a snowball?
yeah we're ok, things will be back to normal in no time i have to admit my generous offer has an ulterior motive: i just really like to hit people with snowballs
oh!! of course you're right i'm so sorry you're stone cold, miss "giving jack a sweater out of the kindness of my heart" i'm truly intimidated by your stoic cruelty
you could have left me in my burnt up hoodie you care about people!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :)
[ he would tease that she cares about him, but that— seems strange, the way it sits is uncomfortable and not quite right. Katniss cares about him because she's a kind person. he hasn't done anything to earn it, so it's not about him, right? ]

nope it's just cold & wet, he'll be fine
text.

perfect :)
text.
you're stone cold, miss "giving jack a sweater out of the kindness of my heart"
i'm truly intimidated by your stoic cruelty
text.

[ of course it's about jack, katniss doesn't care about people in general except for the part where she started a revolution to save them but shush. ]
text.
wow
i'm pretty sure i don't have a heart but if i did it would have skipped a beat
text.
text.
i think it's my magic, basically doing the same thing as a heart
sometimes it goes weird though
