[ And here is one person who hadn't shown her face in a long while. This is the Lady Morgana, a long gown, pale skin and black hair caught up in a messy bun.

A messy..? Yes, for once, she doesn't look flawless. But that is because of where she is.

Lady Morgana is in the kitchen and from the look of it, she is baking.

A royal woman baking, yep.

At her side, there is a rather nice looking pile of cookie dough and a few trays of cookies which she had, at last, after many weeks, managed to comprehend how to bake.

But now she's not baking them, rather she is trying something new. But she looks confused. ]

Mix the eggs - do they mean one at a time or all together?

[ watch her frown at the recipe. ]

Has anyone ever attempted baking a cheese cake? I find myself rather confused. I managed the crust but I can't comprehend the rest of it.

[ and now watch her just...eat a bit of cookie dough. This is hard, ok? ]

I see, is it a sort of a default instruction? I should simply assume unless told otherwise?

Exactly. Anytime you see a recipe that only says to mix in the eggs, then they can all go in at once. Adding the eggs one at a time would usually mean alternating with another ingredient or direction, so you would know if that's what you had to do.

I see. So with this cake, I have the crust; I simply add the filling into it and then bake it as it is?

If you've mixed everything together, then that's it, yes. Just don't mix it too much once you've put the eggs in. It helps to keep the cake from cracking while it's baking.

You're quite knowledgeable, are you a cook?

[ Wistful smile. He sort of misses when having to deal with his mother's wrath due to burning a loaf of bread was the worst of his problems ] At home, I worked in my family's bakery.

Truly? How wonderful. You should give lessons, then. I know I could have used some. I never cooked anything.

Well, you seem to at least have some idea of what you're doing.

Oh it took me entire weeks to understand the language. Half of the things in this city do not exist in Camelot and I never cooked even there.

Well, if you ever need it, I'd be happy to help. [ A beat ] My name's Peeta.

Peeta, [ that's just fun, rolling easily on the tongue. ] my name is Morgana Pendragon. It's a pleasure and especially since you show me such kindness.

[ His parents totally knew what they were doing when they named him ] Morgana. And it's nothing, really. Cheesecake can be a little tricky.

I have a feeling you might be able to make a wonderful one in half the time it takes me.

Well, I have a little more practice. [ Smile! ] If you want, I could actually show you how to make one sometime.

That would be so kind, I would love to.

Great. I don't always have a chance to make things like that at home. It's a little too rich for most people where I live.

You...live in a lower city?

[ she doesn't judge. Her best friend is a servant. ]

I do, yes. [ If he truly understands her meaning ] I believe most of the population of Panem does.

Is you kind that incompetent he cannot feed his people?

Panem isn't exactly like that.

There is no king?

We call him a President.

President...and he is so incompetent that he cannot provide for his people?

Most of us are given what we need to survive. [ The meager year supply of grain and oil for one person ]

I am sorry. A good ruler should wish for the welfare of all his people.
