[littlecatnip]

[To think, there are places out there where that's possible and people can choose what they want to do.]

Is that what you've done your whole life?

[universal_charm]

For any portion that counts, yeah. I had a rough patch after high school, but someone came and managed to get me back on track.

[littlecatnip]

And you've never had to hunt?

[universal_charm]

Nope. I would say I might have grown something, but my Uncle was crap at farming, so I can't even say that was true.

[littlecatnip]

There's land out here if you wanted to give that a try. I can't do anything about the hunting without my bow.

[universal_charm]

To grow something? I guess I could, but... I've never really thought about it. Green was never my thing, I'm better with gadgets to be honest.

I figured you didn't have it since it didn't get pointed at me when we first met. But that's fine. I can't fire a bow anyways, I'd only bring shame to my family if I tried.

[littlecatnip]

They gave me mine, but not before turning it into a toy. Buttercup has been scratching up the tips of the arrows that came with it. [Almost as if on cue, a disgruntled cat can be heard scampering by in the background.]

[universal_charm]

Yeah, my phaser didn't last much longer either.

We kiddies need safe toys, don't you know?

[littlecatnip]

You haven't found any real ones?

[universal_charm]

I'm a civilian, and I'm not actually all that fond of weapons. If I was military, I'm sure I'd get something, but I'm not joining up.

[littlecatnip]

The only one I'd want is a bow. I'd feel safer with one.

[universal_charm]

Well, I wish you luck. Maybe you can find one in one of the shops somewhere, but I couldn't say where.

[littlecatnip]

[Another swing and a miss. Neither of the pair she's talked to knew where to get those kinds of weapons.]

Thanks. I'll keep looking.

[universal_charm]

How's your cat? You called him, uh, Buttercup?

[littlecatnip]

Getting underfoot, but alive. [Somehow. The damn cat always found a way.] He... was my sister's. He was wandering the room I woke up in.

[universal_charm]

He sounds charming. But at least you have company, right?

[littlecatnip]

Yeah. [Her next words are said more quietly, more thoughtful. Johanna's words when she found out the other Victor from her district had fallen are ringing clearly in her head.] He's from home.

[universal_charm]

Well, that's something, isn't it? Just glad you didn't end up here entirely alone.

[littlecatnip]

[She's not entirely alone, but he is, it sounds like and she's quiet a moment.]

I'm sorry. For not remembering you.

[universal_charm]

It's not your fault Katniss. If it's anyone's faults it's the people who brought us here.

[littlecatnip]

Yeah, I guess so. Will I see you around?

[universal_charm]

Yeah. I live in town, but you can contact me any time.

[littlecatnip]

You know the area I live in. I'm still getting used to the city. [Which is intimidating at times. District 12 was no where near this big.]

[universal_charm]

Well, I'll show you around some time if you want. At the least I can show you were some the more important places like the grocery store.

[littlecatnip]

I've found one and bought some food with the money they gave us. Do they always give us credits like that?

[She's blundered through the whole credit chit process and used some of it to purchase food, but the whole thing is strange to her.]
