[ 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.

voice
Seems like she found you.
Re: voice
She's good at that.
voice
Don't let her hear you say that. Her head is big enough already.
[Lengthy pause over here.]
How out of control are you right now?
Re: voice
[ he wisely remains silent on the katniss comment. he takes a deep breath, rolling his shoulders ]
Right now, I'm. Fine. But I don't know what it's going to be like once I go out.
voice
Well, you're not missing out on much. I doubt staying inside for a while will hurt anyone.
video
[ he smiles ]
You know you're the first one to tell me to stay put? Instead of seeing the world, making new friends, and contributing to society.
voice
[Her smirk may not be visible but he can hear the dark amusement in her tone.]
Like a good little citizen? Please. I'm not interested in dealing with the mess that might come with you going for a stroll through the park.
video
[ he actually chuckles. finally. someone gets it gawd ]
I was about to offer to run arts and crafts, actually.
voice
Finger painting always did seem like your thing.
video
[ he rubs his hands together ]
Those are gone too. My paintings, I mean. [ because they were such cheerful things ] Do you have anything from Panem?
voice
I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to unleash your tortured soul on paper later, if you set up a new schedule. [There's a pause, followed by a brief snort. The 'like what?' is left unsaid.] Nothing I could use.
Re: voice
[ he sighs at that ] I just...don't want to forget. About any of it.
voice
[She gets that, in a way. Remembering is all she has, after all.] They wouldn't let you. [Finnick, Katniss.] Though if you're that worried, maybe you'd better start committing it to paper.
video
[ he rubs his hands, shaking his heads ]
They can't help me, with everything. But...writing it down might not be a bad idea.
video
Just don't lose it. Like you said, we're not going to be able to fill in all the gaps.
Re: video
I can't control whether I lose it or not. Sometimes they get shiny. And then, well. I don't really know what happens.
video
Your paper, idiot. Usually it involves broken plates.
