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.]

That yelp made Joly feel especially bad at that. It was an accident, of course, but even so, he frowned a bit, offering the smaller man his hand, to help him stand if he would like support.

"I would imagine that can be a problem." He commented, not quite having had that particular experience throughout his life, but very sure he would not like it very much were their circumstances changed. "...Are you quite all right?" He asked, a moment later, catching sight of those fingertips and frowning.
