It's on the tip of Katniss' tongue to protest. To tell him that she is a burden. That he should've listened to her a while back when she told him that she wasn't good. She somehow drags people down with her. He's got to see that. He's got to see how much of a burden she really is.
She stays quiet until they're actually in the warehouse. Today's been a long day. Her thoughts have been anything but quiet. Matt's memories. Derek's kiss. There's so much going on and she doesn't know what to make of it. Having Derek do so much and Katniss do so little? That doesn't help her sense of self-worth either. She's a burden. She's no good to anyone. She kills.
Once inside, Katniss takes a few steps away from Derek and looks around the empty warehouse. She doesn't want to speak but this was her idea, wasn't it? She should say something. Katniss looks back at him, a thoughtful frown on her face. "Why did you kiss me this afternoon?"
There are a lot of other things she wants to say too. Like the man in her dreams is real. But this seems as good a place as any to start.
