 [ 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.

Sometimes it's not easy to see. [There's no criticism in her tone, it's just a simple statement of fact. Though she's worried she's talking more like Batgirl than Steph right now. Secret identities are hard.]

I get that. I think most of those involved were taken into custody anyway, and the Emperor's prison is inescapable.

[Which hopefully means that specific situation isn't one to worry about too much.]

[Oh, she knows what that look means.]

Not always, but yeah, I'm sure the Emperor's just talking herself up.

[She thinks about her conversation with Annabeth, and whether inescapable just means there's no one trying to escape.]
