Prim gives her friend a smile - she'll take being special to him, and being one of the only people that he doesn't find annoying. She doesn't struggle with that, at all. She doesn't find people annoying, but knowing how significant that is to him it's touching, honestly. It's strange how attached she feels to Five just from living with him all this time, but she really does.
"I was already a healer - I stitched wounds and helped treat people alongside my mom. That's what I was doing when I died - trying to help people." Prim shares - there are some big differences between what it takes to be a doctor, or any sort of healer, here, though. There's a lot more education, a lot more stipulations. And even with the ability that she's still somewhat uncomfortable with on some level she's not quite there yet. It's been wanting to get back to that and not just relying on this ability that she has that fuels her search for education, actually. That is why and what she wants to work for and learn here.
Prim, though, follows suit - freezing as Five does, and staying that way as she listens to everything that he chooses to share to her. And she does her best not to feel any pity, not to pity him - she knows that he won't appreciate sympathy or pity for anything that he's gone through. Still, getting to hear about what he's been through and the sort of parent that he had, the circumstances that he came to be in, and that he was raised in, what he was forced into Prim can't help but frown. Her mother may have been absent, lost in hereslf for a fair period of her life, but she was never any of the things that Five describes his father as.
Prim doesn't remember her own father - the only things she knows about him are the things that Katniss chose to share, that she could share with how much it hurt...but even that is enough to knwo that what Five describes isn't what a father is supposed to do. "That doesn't make me uncomfortable - hearing about your past. I don't understand how 42 of you came to be that way - it's not the way that it works, but I mostly think that you deserved better. Everyone should have someone who cares." Primp moves her food around on her plate for a moment before admitting, albeit a bit begrudgingly. "Your father sounds like a terrible person."
She probably shouldn't ahve said that, but she couldn't help it.
