Katniss smiles almost immediately at his response. She can't help but feel pleased that he's willing to share his results with her. Yeah, she's helped him rig his study and because of that, probably does deserve to know how the review goes. But she'd like to think that he's telling because she's Katniss and he's Derek and there's some weird thing between them that makes her feel a little more at home here.

"It doesn't," she agrees, a serious note to her voice. Katniss has many shortcomings; her inability to obey authority is one of those things high up there. Taking his offered hand, she stands. He's teasing her and she wants to tease him back but discussion of authority keeps her from being jovial. "But if you wanted the moral support..."

Katniss shrugs as she trails off. Her cheeks flush a little and the ghost of a smile crosses her face. "You support me. It wouldn't be right if I didn't help you in return."
