[ Jack has come back to the city after his fight with Kyle and his talk with Bucky at the shell's edge. He isn't quite ready for video replies yet, knows that despite the usual cheerful timbre he's forcing into his voice it won't cover the fact that his eyes are sad and hollow. ]

Has anyone seen Periwinkle? I went to her suite to give her fresh snow but she's not there and it looks...

[ he fumbles for the right description ]

Unused.

[ private to Finnick ]
Sorry I haven't figured out those other lures yet, I... something-- kind of came up. I take it you saw the announcement?

[ private to Damian ]
I... wanted to apologize, for what I said to you on the sled hill. When you brought up-- I, I just shouldn't have snapped back at you like that. I don't have any right to say who trusts you and who doesn't. I'm sorry.

[ private to Kyle ]
... please don't tell everyone about the snow. I get it, okay? It was wrong and fake and cheating and a horrible thing. But just let them have a good memory of it and-- and I won't spread any more snow like that around. Please. I'll... I'll do whatever you want.

[ He doesn't think he could take it if all the people who thanked him for the snow day suddenly turned on him for it. The ones who'd had their hearts lightened enough to even be able to see him for the first time. ]

Oh mummy, that's a bummer. [There are a hundred sadfaces in her tone.] She was really cool for a not-monster monster.

Yeah, she was. But people are saying that she's likely gone home, so probably it's for the best.

How have you been, Mavis?

That's weird. Why wouldn't she tell us?

[Because she would totally say good-bye if they let her go home.]

Oh, the usual! [A mini shrug.] Snacking on bugs, staying up until dawn... What about you?

I'm sure she would have, if she had been given the choice. People are sometimes here and then they're just... not.

[ He doesn't want to worry her, so he says nothing of everything that's happened lately. ]

Pretty much the same, minus the bugs part.

That's so much worse than dawnburn.

[She's pouting a bit, but okay. She's going to try and think about something else -- like how he could NOT be eating bugs??]

What do you eat?

Whatever I want. I don't need to eat at all, so everything I have is like a snack.

That must save loads on the fear and hysteria if people aren't afraid you're going to eat them.

[ That gets her a laugh. ]

You know, I never thought of it that way.

[Whoo-hoo, victory! His laughter reassures her and Mavis even laughs a bit in return.]

That's how it is for me. People get scared so easily, but if you don't need to eat... [A shrug on her end, not that it can be heard.]

Anyways, food for thought? [Another half laugh.] Or not, I guess.

[ another laugh at the accidental (?) pun ]

I'll chew on that advice for a bit, thanks.

[Mavis smiles on her end.]

Take all the time you need to digest it!

[Pun-off is a go.]

Hope my common sense doesn't dessert me when I'm through!
