One of the many things Jolie has begun to understand since siding more and more with Tributes is that resentment and anger are understandable. Painful, awkward and understandable. It doesn't pay to fight for affection or try to argue people out of their opinions, it's better to be ambivalent about it all and let them come around to you.
Sometimes, they come around too well. Sometimes, Jolie comes around too well too. It feels good to give in to impulses like that, it feels good to be real and passionate for once, but it's dangerous. She's feeling it more and more now that she's well and truly pulled away, but somehow the way he smiles makes the anxiety fade fast.
She tilts her chin upward when he traces his hand along her jaw, attempting something haughty and defiant when she feels anything but it.
"Dunno. Never met a pirate before." She says matter-of-factly, fishing for a nearby spoon to check the state of her lipstick before glancing around at him. "So other than being a sad sack, what are you doing?"
