eleventh birdsong

[Once-ler and everyone who kidnapped him to make him go on the expedition]

[She's quiet for a long moment before she speaks]

When we were on the expedition Once-ler told me that people forced him to go out there when he didn't want to. That's a long trip to make someone go on... and it's not fair to make someone do something when they don't want to. Especially when it ends up being as dangerous as that was...

He said it was because you thought it would be good for him, but he didn't seem happy at all to be there and... and I think you should apologize.

[Once-ler]

See? I told you I'd do it.

[/Once-Ler]

[Katniss]

I have something for you. Are you in your room?

[/Katniss]

[Friends]

I just wanted to tell you I'm home safe from the expedition. What did everyone do while I was gone?

[/friends]

Wow... a lot of people went home while we were gone... [There's a pause before she softly asks] Is anyone taking care of the garden at the church in town?

Oh man that sounds like fun.

...Well, except for the birds, I guess.

[fly_little_bird]

Yeah they weren't very fun. Everything else was, though. What happened while we were gone?

[huffythedragon]

Not a lot. It's been pretty quiet here.

[fly_little_bird]

Well what did you do? You couldn't have done nothing the whole time.

[huffythedragon]

[Got into a horrible fight]

Just took care of the library, really.

[fly_little_bird]

Oh. Did it need a lot of care? I like the library a lot. I've never seen so many books in my life!

[huffythedragon]

Sure, you'd be amazed how many people just don't put books back where they belong.

[fly_little_bird]

Really? Why don't they? Don't they know where they go?

[huffythedragon]

Oh, they know, they're just too lazy so they leave them anywhere they like.
