[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.

[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?

The what?

[whichwayyoulean]

It's a crappy little doll you win in fairs.

[fly_little_bird]

A fair? I... don't know what that is.

[whichwayyoulean]

Really? Well, it's this place with rides and stands that sell food and have games, like throwing a ball at a stack of bottles.

[fly_little_bird]

Oh! I think there was one of those here wasn't there?

[whichwayyoulean]

Maybe? I don't really get out. Uh...ever.

[fly_little_bird]

Why not?

[whichwayyoulean]

I like to keep away from people. It's a hermit thing.
