[unfalteringly]

I suppose things have finally gotten back to normal. At least as far as the city, itself, goes. As for the residents, us Travellers, things aren't so simple. They never are. And while I know there's not much I can do, I would like to offer my sincerest sympathies to everyone who lost someone close to them. [ Especially those who killed their own loved ones ]

My sympathies to the ones who were lost, as well.

If there's anything I can do, however...

[ And that's where the public feed ends as he switches over to a private filter ]

[ Private to the Panemites ]

We should talk about getting out of our various god houses and getting into one house together. All five of us.

It's good to see you well, Peeta. I hope you were not among those harmed?

[He wonders if the lessons he gave him did him any good.]

[unfalteringly]

You too, Lancelot. And no, no I wasn't hurt. [ Much to his surprise, really ]

You seem to be alright. What about your friends?

video;

[sworntovalor]

That is good to hear.

[A sad smile makes an appearance; Lancelot is terrible at hiding his feelings.] They have healed. And your own?

[unfalteringly]

[ Peeta sighs and switches to private because as vague as he's going to attempt to be, it's still not something he wants the world ( or Asgard, w/e ) to hear ]

The physical wounds have all healed. [ He sees that sad smile, Lancelot... ] Are you alright?

[ It is an odd thing, to have slept for the duration of the horrors. She feels distant from it, as if she doesn't quite fit there as she knows nothing of what had happened. She woke up to light when all others spoke of Darkness.

Still Peeta's message is short and simple and sweet and it brings a small smile to her lips. ]

We are still fortunate to have one another, especially when so many in this city are as kind as you are, Peeta.

[ As far as he's seen, he wouldn't have minded being able to just not be a part of any of it, but only if it extended to his friends, otherwise, well he had to be there. He had to be a part of it because Katniss and Rue were and he just couldn't- And yet he still failed to be there for both of them ]

At least there's that, since there are times when it feels like all we have.

[veneficus]

Perhaps at times it is indeed true.

[ Like now, when her strength leaned mainly on her friendships and not on her own rather fierce personality. She's tired and bitter and it is only them who keep her as she is, prevent her from slipping away.

She wonders if he feels like this too, at times. They do share the subject of bad dreams. ]

But it is not a small thing, at the very least. Are your friends well, Peeta? and yourself?

Private Filter;

[brokennotmad]

[Annie looks a little excited.]

Are we allowed to do that?

Private Filter;

[unfalteringly]

[ Okay so, smiling. Yup ]

Of course we're allowed to do that. There's paid housing in each district that we can move into if we can afford it.

Private Filter;

[brokennotmad]

But... Aren't we all in different houses?

[whatagoodgirl]

Thank you, Peeta. I'm sorry you had to go through this... I really do wish this place could be a refuge for people who've been through hard times, but it only plays at it now and then.

[She chews her bottom lip for a moment, deciding if this is too personal to ask with their limited acquaintance, then chooses to speak up.]

Um... you could help me, if... you have any idea what to do about nightmares?

[video]

[unfalteringly]

Apologizing to me really isn't necessary but thank you anyway. Asgard isn't quite everything that it possibly could have been but I guess no place is.

[ Peeta waits quietly as she seems to go over something in her head, wanting to tell her that she's more than welcome to say whatever she has to say, but not wanting to make her feel any sort of pressure from him ]

Nightmares? Well, I don't really have any sort of surefire way to deal with them, but I could offer some suggestions?

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

Some things are so good about it... I only wish it was possible to be really happy here. There has to be someplace where that's possible.

[She nods wearily.] That's good enough for me. Anything will do at this point.

[video]

[foolofatook]

Excuse me... sir?

[Pippin's not sure the best way to address him yet.]

Has anyone, that is to say... has there been talk concerning those who were lost? I mean, about what they might have done during their time in the shadows?

[AKA, I got Taken and I think I might have killed someone. :|]

[video]

[unfalteringly]

Peeta. Please, call me Peeta.

[ O-oh. Hm. About that... ]

About what they might have done? Well, they might have gotten violent, hurt people or worse. [ Hypothetically, of course ._. ]

[video]

[foolofatook]

Very well, Peeta.

Ah, yes, I-I see. And, have any said they remember doing so?

[spaghettiokay]

You say that like death's still permanent here...

[Not that he doesn't appreciate the gesture, but this sort of thing happens so often in Asgard, it just seems...a little pointless.]

[unfalteringly]

Not everyone's entirely accustomed to the idea of death not being permanent here.

[ Like him, for instance. It's hard for him to wrap his head around the idea ]

[spaghettiokay]

Yea, well once you die a couple of times, you start getting used to the idea.

Anyway, it was a nice thought.

[Sharing a house with all the Tributes? That's an idea Rue could get behind.]

What kind of house, Peeta? Will we get our own rooms like in the god houses?

video

[unfalteringly]

[ Good! Since she's being included whether she wants to be or not :| ]

I'm not sure yet. Katniss and I haven't gone looking yet. [ Because Katniss and Peeta are mom and dad apparently and they're in charge of everything ._. ]

We'll get our own rooms like in the god houses, sure. [ At least Rue will... ] That's what we'll be looking for.

video

[airborn]

[That sounds about right.]

Hmmmm~ Can I come, too? When are you going?

[Rapid fire questions is go!]

[whitechocolate]

[Someone's relieved to see a video of Peeta come up on the network.]

I'm glad to see you're okay.

video;

[unfalteringly]

[ And someone else is relieved to see Sam. Peeta's experienced life or death before but he's not sure that Sam has. He was a little worried, to say the least ]

Yeah, you too. You and your friends, you all stayed safe during that whatever it was?

[whitechocolate]

[He's only experienced Coach Sylvester's sister dying. The funeral was upsetting enough and he didn't even know her.]

Yeah, we stayed in the library. None of them got hurt, thank god.
