In my mind, faces keep returning
Who| Peggy and Linden
What| Linden's mother is dead. Peggy owes Linden a lot, and she's ready to support him with this.
Where| D6
When| After Linden's surgery and the discovery of where the liver came from.
Warnings/Notes| Possible discussion of bidding, discussion of death and medical procedures and so on.
Peggy isn't entirely sure what to do--what can a person do in this situation?--but that doesn't mean she won't try to do something.
In District 10, it was traditional for neighbors to try to make a meal for families that were grieving. A meal sometimes meant something as small as a few well-butchered rats, but as long as it could feed a person, it was acceptable. It was a way of showing support and sparing the family the fear of starvation in their time of need. The meals were supposed to support the family for at least a week, but in the impoverished areas Peggy had lived in, they couldn't always.
She's most used to preparing meat, but Linden doesn't like meat. She should make him something healthy and substantial, but she knows she's not very good at cooking things other than meat and animal products. Instead, she bakes cookies, which she had never even had before coming to the Capitol. They were far too expensive for her poor family to buy in District 10, but in the Capitol, they're worth little to nothing. Even so, she wants to give him something, and he likes sweets, so she learns how to make them. It takes a while.
Once she has a tin of warm, not-ruined cookies, she puts it, a loaf of bread, and a small wheel of cheese in a basket before going to D6. "Linden?" she calls as she walks in, stepping lightly and hoping she won't find him drunk or high.
