He's so far from just a man. That he doesn't realize that only adds to his appeal. Living with him isn't always easy but given her previous life, Katniss has absolutely no complaints. And while living with him might be an option, loving him isn't one at all. It's something that had hit her hard early on and now just comes so naturally to her. Life is hard. That love can be too is no surprise.
The next time she accompanies him on one of his patrols will be easier. As will the time after that, and so on. Archery lessons as a child had taught her how practice makes perfect. Katniss won't quit because they've encountered a few hiccups this time around. Not everything's going wrong. Based on Matt's reaction to her shots, neither man died. The risk worked. "You better."
Ice cream makes life all the richer.
She follows him down the hall, careful to keep a little more distance between them this time in case he stops short again. It helps knowing that he can hear her whisper even from a distance. "What do you want to do with them?"
