It was a cheesy display but Kastniss knew it could still give Snow some trouble and if that was the case, she had no complaints partaking.

Neither did Gale.

And just as it concluded, Gale was also happy to have Prim's hand remained clasped with his own as they headed for the elevator. Most of the other districts had gotten out ahead of them so thankfully the crowd had died down. He was mentally drained but the small kiss upon his cheek reminded him that sleep could come later, and that for now, they had a little get-together to have up on the roof. As they were all alone though, Effie was quick to get her criticisms out. Gale knew she had been keeping herself under control but he hadn't thought to make a fuss now, words couldn't be changed or taken back. He saw no point in getting upset now and before he could open his mouth to tell her such, Haymitch had already spoken up for both of them, much to Gale's surprise.

But then another squabble broke out between Peeta and Haymitch and Gale was about to step in but Effie managed to give them some space, literally. They got to their suite and parted ways. Gale kept hold of Prim's hand up until she went off to grab them a bottle to drink on the roof. He could use a stronger drink but he knew it wasn't wise before the Games. He gave Prim a smile and stepped out. He would like to change first but he knew the night could only go on for so long and that would just waste what precious time they had together. It was very likely they could be separated, perhaps even for a few days. Gale wanted to make sure their heads were in the right place so their plan could work, but more importantly, so that they could survive. "I think the sun set not too long ago..." He leaned over to peer outside of the window that made up the walls around their luxurious accommodations.

Katniss was also eager to get out of her dress, though she had no idea what sort of magic Cinna had done that had allowed her to shed her poofy red one but whatever it was, it was pretty cool. For now though, she was more willing to go along with the black outfit she now had on, even if it was a bit overly dramatic for her tastes. Clearly her fashion sense was pretty much nonexistent. As they got into the elevator, she kept glancing at Haymitch, not noticing the bomb known as Effie, was about to explode. When their escort began to then nitpick at the boys, Katniss couldn't help but roll her eyes. Haymitch's actions weren't really out of the ordinary for him, so she wasn't sure what the big deal was. And then she started in on Gale and that seemed to be the breaking point for the ex-mentor to bite back. For once, Katniss wasn't that eager to jump in with them and have an argument.

Personally, she wanted to just move on and not hurt anyone's feelings right before walking into Hell in the morning. She could tell Gale was antsy to say something though. Thankfully the elevator doors opened and they headed out. Effie had to break up a small but tense moment between Haymitch and Peeta, before both of them headed off, making Katniss wonder what was wrong with Peeta. Her heart went out to him but before she could go follow the two and figure out what was really going on, Prim caught her attention with a bottle of bubbly cider. "Oh." She had totally forgotten about the idea of heading to the roof on their last night in the Capitol. She gave a nod and glanced down and then looked to Haymitch and Gale, both seemed like they'd be warm enough in the wind but she figured some air would do them all some good either way. "Right, come on." She laughed  a little, mostly at her forgetfulness.

Helping get some snacks, Gale followed Katniss, Haymitch and Prim up. Katniss led them around to the emergency stairwell and they climbed up two more flights of stairs before the girl pushed the heavy door open and revealed the skyline which was mostly purple and blue, with only hints of pink thrown in like chiffon ribbons. "What a view. I'm glad we made it in time to see the last bit of the sunset." Gale commented as he moved a brick with his foot, wedging it between the door so they could leave without worrying about it locking somehow. Glasses weren't really needed, they could just pass the bottle around and chat at their leisure. In Gale's mind, this was a pretty nice idea, one that he would surely reflect upon the the next few days. "I'd suggest a toast but I don't think we really need one." When they all made it out, Gale would be sure to give a mighty speech though, hopefully with Peeta and Effie by their side, no longer mad or anything like that.

"Please, I've suffered enough tonight." Katniss teased Gale and helped open the bottle with Prim. She took a drink and handed it to her sister before walking over to the rail. On the roof, there were many plants and even some benches with grass. It had changed only slighty between the time she and Peeta had gone up to talk about why they wanted to win or at least hold out as long as possible. Back then, which seemed like an eternity ago, Katniss couldn't understand Peeta's reasoning when she had Prim to think about. But now she could and yet things had also changed for herself and those around her. "I wonder if they'll be stingy with weapons tomorrow, given there's twice as many of us and there are others who are decent with a bow." She commented, though she didn't really want to talk strategy. She didn't consider, that Finnick or the other three would snag the weapon for her though.

Gale sensed Katniss's anxiety and took the bottle from Prim when she was done. For a moment, he wondered if he could tell Katniss now, if this would be a good time to tell her about the plan. She had every right to know. He took a chug and glanced down into the green bottle and licked his lips. "They want a good show right? No use trying to get into their heads at this point." He pointed out.

Nodding, Katniss leaned out and looked at the buildings and people down below, pitying them all. "You guys were really great tonight." She said, changing the topic. "Very cute, I bet District 12 is going to be well known for its cultivating love interests, rather than its coal." She laughed softly and turned around to face Prim and Gale.

"At least Prim and I will look a hell of a lot more convincing than you and Peeta." 

"If they thought I was really in love with him, they're even stupider than I thought." Katniss shot back with a smirk.

Gale glanced to Haymitch for a moment, before handing him the bottle, though he knew it wasn't the sort of drink he was likely craving. "Well...I have faith in us. I couldn't say that when we were pushed onto the train but now, after nearly two weeks, I think we've all got a real shot." He said, trying to pick his words carefully.
