Artemis really hated morning people.

Except when they were her twin sister. Usually. This morning she might make an exception, however, since she'd been up half the night chasing someone suspicious all over the village and had lost him in the woods.

She hated the woods, too. Too many trees. They got in her way.

That wasn't the point though. The point was that it was ridiculous o'clock in the morning and her twin was way too perky. And noisy. And Katniss gets a grumbled, incoherent insult as Artemis drags her pillow over her head and tries to burrow deeper under her blankets.

She had always preferred mornings. There was something peaceful in the world during the morning. A chance to escape into the woods and forget, just for a little while, who she was and the responsibilities she had. It was a chance to hunt, not that her family needed the extra meat. But little matched the exhilaration she always felt in mornings.

Exhilaration, it seems, that Artemis did not share. She faked a long-suffering sigh before plopping down on the bed next to her sister. As she kicked off her boots, she glanced at the pillow hiding the other girl's head. "Are you really going to sleep the morning away?"

"That was my brilliant plan," came the muffled answer from beneath the pillow, though Artemis wriggled over to make room for her twin on the bed. One grey peeked out from underneath the blanket at Katniss.

"You're going to foil that, aren't you?"

"You bet," she replied with what she was certain her sister would think was an obnoxiously bright grin. Without asking for further permission, she slipped under the covers to snuggle closer to Artemis. Hair and makeup be damned. She could always borrow her twin's things to freshen up before they left.

Another teasing grin crossed her face as she attempted to peel the pillow away from the other girl's. "C'mon, sleepy head. It's beautiful out."

There's a noise somewhere between a laugh and a grumble that slips out from beneath the pillow as Artemis struggled to keep her hold on it, but it was half-hearted at best and Katniss wins that bout of tug-of-war easily, earning a baleful scowl from her sister.

"So was my bed, before you invaded it. I'm sure it'd still be beautiful out later. Like when sane people are up." Despite her words, there's a note of affectionate amusement in her voice as she rolls over, flopping onto her back. She gives Katniss a wry look.

"What are you doing here so early anyway? Didn't you have... things?" She waved her hand vaguely to accompany that word, making a face at it. Because their father often had plans for Katniss first thing. He usually tried to have them for Artemis, too, but she wasn't having any of that. Not anymore.

The scowl is returned with a sweet smile as she tosses the pillow behind her shoulder and on to the floor. Though there are still others on the bed, it is at least one less hiding place for Artemis' head right now. And all the better. It can be a little difficult to chat with a pillow.

Artemis will thank her later.

"I'm playing hooky today," she gloats a second or two later, feeling a sort of adrenaline in announcing her intentions aloud. Though lying on her back as well, she turns her head to regard her sister. "I want you to join me. Dad has no idea."

"Oh, I'm sure he'll be thrilled," Artemis drawls, rolling her head to the side to grin back at her. "And next thing you know I'll be getting lectured on what a bad influence I am. How does that even work?"

Still, she gives a laugh and waves her hand vaguely in the air. "So what is it I'm joining you in? Since I play hooky every day."

She chuckles, beaming at her sister. As beautiful as the day was outside, there was also something to be said about spending a lazy morning in bed with her twin. That wasn't something their lives allowed much for any more. Hadn't for some time now.

"Maybe he should have paid more attention to us growing up," she answers with another laugh. "We both know I'm the bad influence."

Though she had to admit that her little sister was as every bit as stubborn and reckless as she could be. It made for a lot of fun when they were little. And still made for fun even as they grew up.

"I was thinking sun bathing by the lake? Or we could go hunting."

"He paid plenty of attention. Somehow we always got caught the times I was the instigator. Maybe I should have taken that as a sign." She makes a face, sticking her tongue out at Katniss.

"Ugh, not hunting. I am so done with trees right now." Artemis groaned, dragging another pillow over her face again at the very idea. Not that Katniss knew what she'd been up to in the woods last night and she really had no intention of telling her. That would just open up far too many questions and unwanted explanations.

"I could deal with the lake though. Sunbathing almost counts as sleeping." She peeked out at her twin again. "Is it warm enough?"

Katniss laughs at the face she makes and easily returns the gesture, sticking her tongue out at Artemis in return. Mornings like this really have become too rare and far between. She'd give anything to change that. But it's one problem that Katniss isn't exactly certain how to fix.

At that thought, she collapses back against the pillow again. Only to sit up a little and smile when she hears an agreement. "Definitely. I wouldn't suggest it if it wasn't. Promise, Artie."

Katniss gets a pillow tossed at her for the old nickname as Artemis groans and rolls out of bed. "Fine. But I'm showering first. I feel gross."

And she was pretty sure she still had tree sap in her hair.

She catches the pillow easily, laughing all the while. While Artemis climbs out of the bed, she shoves the pillow behind her back. It provides a good cushion to the hard headboard. Better than wasting it by throwing it back at Artemis.

"Oh, come on. You don't need a shower." Her eyebrows raise as she talks, words sincere. "All you have to do is jump into the lake. Much easier."

"The lake is cold," Artemis calls back, as if that were an answer enough in itself. "You're a heathen."

She rolls her eyes at the comment and, this time, does remove the pillow to toss Artemis' way. Her aim is good. Just like that of her sister's.

"I am not."

Artemis catches it with a laugh, because she'd been expecting it, knows her sister all too well. But she's got the ammo now, so she flees into the bathroom before her sister can think to toss something else at her.

"I'll be quick! Are we getting something for breakfast too? I'm starved."

Even though Artemis couldn't see it, Katniss sticks her tongue out behind her sister's retreating back. Really, a quick dip in the lake would have been enough. And probably would have been welcomed after lying out in the sun too long.

Relaxing back on her sister's bed, she shouts, "We could stop by the bakery!"
