"I volunteered to help with the Justice building." It's technically true. Peeta has been helping them with supplies, food, errands, and so on for a couple weeks now. But he's never directly involved in the construction himself and rarely gets close to the projects for fear of being triggered and becoming a hazard to anyone around him. He hopes she doesn't know that. He knows she won't buy it, the same way she's often seen through his manipulations even when he couldn't see through hers.
"Katniss." The word is soft, gentle. Peeta's free hand moves to take hers for a second, willing her to look at him, but lets it go as quickly to hold his shirt again. "I'll be fine. You don't have to worry about me."
