 [ a haggard looking young man sits on a bed, his hands wringing together over and over again as he speaks. There's a hollowness to his stare, and he takes a little longer than most between his sentences, thoughtfully ]

I was working...on having responsibilities again. I baked bread starting at four in the morning until noon. At noon I fed the geese. Depending on the day, I might have free time after that, but by dinner I helped Katniss cook and I would dead-head the flowers in the garden.

The schedule...helped.

[ his hands spasm erratically for a moment, then still as Peeta clenches his jaw ]

And now I'm here. [ he offers a tight smile ] And that means I'm not feeding geese and the garden's not going anywhere anytime soon. Not to mention there's a possible deer overpopulation problem in District Twelve.

[ he sighs ]

So there go my responsibilities. And schedule. I guess this serves as a fair warning for you all.

[he hesitates for a moment because he actually kind of wants to talk about this, but it's also not what he meant. push comes to shove, though, he could ask about it later if it seemed right]

Sorry-- I probably should've worded that differently. I meant here. [...] I know a couple of places in the Earth District who could probably use a hand. Quite a few of the people I've spoken to seem to be quite big on routines and schedules and I'm assuming that's something you could use?

[he pauses again and adds:] Sorry if I'm being imposing at all, by the way.
