It took a lot to fill a day, devoid of school or work. Sometimes she followed Katniss or visited with Cinna. The rest of the time, when she didn't have a book to read or a ball to bounce against the wall, she went out to the city.

They had a lot of things out there, making her head whip about. She couldn't buy any of it, without relying on her credit card, but she could stare into the windows and mouth her awe. The books in their display cases, the clothes - so many types of shoes and dresses: she couldn't imagine people going through so many outfits, back home. None of the shoes even looked practical.

She had some thoughts about searching out herbal shops, or pressing people for information on the capitol's medication... Somehow, the cake shops and toy stores always drew just as much attention, though. The sweet smells and bright lights... All the things she never could have imagined back home.

Most recently was the tickle-me trolls. Staring at the familiar faces of the tributes, and remembering what it was she had heard from them. How could they be child friendly?

Tell them what about my tributes? And how do I make them act well? [Sorry, Prim. He really is clueless. Coming here is the first time he's been around this many people in years.]

You just tell them your tributes can win. And tell them stories - like... romances. Or vicious ones...

And you can give the tributes gifts. If they do what you want them to.

I guess I can do that... The vicious ones, anyway.

[He nods when she talks about the gifts.] Yeah, they told me about the gifts. Only when they do what I want? How are they supposed to know what that is?

You can put messages in it. Or you could just give them rewards when they do something. So that they'll figure it out.

[He thinks about that for a minute. Then smiles.] I guess I can do that.

That's what happened with Katniss, I think...

Thanks, I guess. [He shifts nervously. She's really different from the others here. A good different. Somehow, he wants her to like him.]

Good luck... [She smiles up at him.]

I... You, too. [He smiles, feeling a bit shy rather than just awkward and out of place.]

[She smiles at him before returning to... business.]
