Creepy. Also, dangerous. Like we were being lulled into a false sense of security. I especially didn't like the altar.
Did you speak with any of them? [Hermione is sure Katniss will know what she means by "them"]
[She shook her head.] No, I tried to avoid them as much as possible. The wine, too.
I don't think I should trust anything I eat here but ... we've still got to eat. We can choose what, though.
That's true. I've been trying to cook for myself as much as possible.
I'm afraid I didn't go myself. That's why I wanted to know every one's impressions.
[Always good to meet smart - and cautious people. Katniss nods her head once in approval.]
I hunt, in the woods. If you need meat - let me know.

That's kind of you to offer. I didn't realize we had so many animals.
We don't. [A wry sort of snort can almost be heard through the written words.] But there's enough of us here wanting there to be animals, that there are animals.
That makes sense. Have you seen any animals that are specific to your world?
Deer. Squirrels. Rabbits and some birds. Nothing ... genetically altered. [Yet.]
We'll have to keep an eye out. The appearance of the fae here in Paradisa could mean anything.
Are those ... fairies common where you come from? [She's learning about magic. Slowly.]
They aren't like the exact ones from my world, but there are many stories concerning the fae. It's difficult to know exactly which world these are from.
What sorts of stories? What should I look out for?
It depends. Some stories have them as harmless or mischievous, while others say that they're dangerous. There are also different kinds of fairies: gnomes, trolls, goblins...
There are some stories that suggest fairies are responsible for the change of the seasons, which is what it seems these were doing here in Paradisa. But why they showed themselves now is a mystery.

Do you think we'll see them at winter, spring, and summer too? [Yes, she was imagining she'd be here to see the seasons pass.]
It's possible, though I wouldn't expect it. It seems every season change is different. Last year we just had leaves falling continually.
I avoided it like it was on fire.
But hey, good news, your broomsticks are done.
But hey, good news, your broomsticks are done.
So ... there were just leaves falling all the time? Right up through winter?
I didn't go, either.
Brilliant! Thank you, Once-ler. Can I come see them?
Brilliant! Thank you, Once-ler. Can I come see them?
Yes. It sounds fantastic, but I read about how it rained for a month and turned the castle grounds into a swamp. The weather is as unusual as everything else here.
I knew you were smarter than the average resident.
You're welcome, and sure come right on up whenever you like. Not like I'm going to go anywhere.
