Who| Bilbo Baggins & You
What| Bilbo goes exploring.
Where| Various places
When| Post Mini Arena until the end of the week (Saturday 11-15).
Warnings/Notes| Talk of child death, language, talk of murder probably. Hobbit feelings and food too.
[A - Training Center]
[After witnessing his first arena Bilbo found a new motivation to send him to the training center. If he had any chance at surviving this... game or even saving Frodo from other, more determined tributes, he had to be stronger than what he was now. It was easier said than done of course; he had no idea where to start. His own knowledge on how to use a sword were limited if not laughable and up until this point he had survived through sheer luck and cleverness alone. Now without his magic ring and even Sting he really was at the bottom with nowhere to go but up.
He stuck to times when the training center would be mostly, if not completely, empty. He still found it hard to be around others knowing what was in store for them later and after seeing the mini-arena that was all but cemented in his mind.
His eyes were drawn to the bow and set of arrows sitting against the weapons wall and without really wondering why he picks them up. In the past Hobbits were decent archers, when things like war and battle were known to Hobbits... Maybe this could work for him.
Throughout the week he comes here to practice with the bow and arrow and more often than naught his practice is riddled with quiet curses and missed shots, but he perseveres. By the end of each private session he sits down next to the wall, tired and weary.]
[B - District 4 Kitchen, before the Curfew]
[It's been hard work trying to get his appetite back on track and even now he still has trouble washing the taste of ash from every bite of food or drink he takes. Still, even with his severely diminished hunger it does little to stop him from cooking too much food out of stress for himself or really anyone with a normal appetite.
So during the day, usually after he returns from his time in the training center, Bilbo bustles around District 4's kitchen and busies himself with making all sorts of food. The food can be smelled from beyond the kitchen and into the hallways, beckoning anyone to come along and take it off Bilbo's hands.]

B
Any room in there for me to make my own supper?
no subject
Oh- Yes! Of course I'm sorry I didn't mean to take over. [He steps off the stool he was on to watch the stew (the devices here used to cook with were fascinating to him).] You're free to anything I've made - I certainly can't eat it all...
no subject
[Roland nods at him and steps into the kitchen, finding a bowl and spooning some of the stew into it. He leans back against a relatively clean space of the counter with it instead of finding a table - in this bustling, lonely place he'll take any good excuse to talk to someone, and eating someone else's food is a fair one.]
Are any of these recipes from your world? Or things you've learned since?
no subject
They're from my home, yes. I haven't had much of a chance to learn about what people eat here, but I'm most definitely curious! There are so many strange and new things here it's hard to know where to start.
no subject
[He shakes his head, putting the bowl down and moving forward.]
Cry pardon, here I'm eating your food and haven't even introduced myself. Roland Deschain, of Gilead-that-was. [That latter he adds on impulse, holding a hand out to shake. Easier to announce his homeland here, where almost no one he'll meet will care about it as anything more than a name.] Seen you around a few times. How are you settling?
