That's something to think about. Food for thought, and it isn't often that it happens to Katniss, who is purposefully trying to make herself so busy that she doesn't think. It also isn't a reaction that she's familiar with. Most people don't look at her skin. They're uncomfortable with it because it reminds them of a different world. They don't say a word, in order to keep from being rude.

She appreciates the honesty, anyways.

"Sorry," Katniss mutters, and it's apologetic enough, if quiet and hoarse. This isn't something that normally happens, and it's an indication of the changes that are slowly being made in her mind.
