[ 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? ]

They're birds from home, the product of a mockingbird and a jabberjay. The jabberyjay is a muttation, a Capitol creation, and one that failed to do what it was supposed to. Despite the Capitol's attempt to destroy them all, they lived on and even bred a new species of bird.

The situation in your world just reminded me of the jabberyjays and mockingjays, living on despite all attempts to wipe them out.

[ She smiles. ]

Freedom is bound to come for all of us.

[ That coaxes a bit of a smile out of him ]

A place without electric fences and Peacekeepers and the Hunger Games. I just hope I get to see it.

A hope that I will share from this day on.

Though despite everything, I really do have to admit that sometimes, I just miss working in my family's bakery.

[ So, back before he was in the Games, back before the rebellion, back when things were just as they were. Back when his life only felt threatened on Reaping Day ]

I think it's natural, to miss home.

[ He nods a little sadly. Things used to be so much simpler ]

You're right. I suppose it doesn't really matter, the circumstances.

Yes, there are times I miss Camelot as well.

How long has it been since you were there last?

video;

[veneficus]

Months, I should say. I arrived here with the first men from the other worlds.

[ So maybe there really is no way to leave ]

I'm really sorry, Morgana.

It's alright. I am not unhappy. I found some good things here, too.

[ He gestures idly toward the baking supplies and cookie dough on her end of the video ]

And you're certainly learning new things while you're here.

Indeed and meeting good people.

[ A smile. ]

That's something I didn't get to do much of back home until more recently.

[veneficus]

I shall hope that you at least be able to enjoy it here.

Well so far, I actually have been.
