Johanna's eyes are dry even as she stands and watches the families begin to fall apart. She is faintly surprised when Katniss snaps, falls to her knees, cradling her little sister's body.
Katniss is usually so hard to push enough to break, now she snaps, she usually stays dry-eyed and here she is, sobbing. Johanna waits, lets the girl mourn, moves to embrace her when Katniss turns to her. Her mother is watching them and yet Johanna is gentle as she moves to dry Katniss' eyes, leading the girl home.
They lie in silence, Johanna dries Katniss' eyes, kissing her, pulling her closer and stroking a hand lower, giving her something else to feel besides grief.
