Considering how it is now, they've at least got me keeping an eye out for them.

[It would be impossible for him to turn his back. Hell, even if he didn't know their story so damn well, he's always had a hard time with looking out for just him. No way. The Games never took that away from him, never would.]

Step one, tell Peeta to stab the things that actually go bump in the night, instead of the petite French doctors. Step two, try not to freak him out when I already know who he is.

[He clears his throat casually, flipping the page.]

This place is still fuckin' weird.

Katniss and I already spoke to him- he. Came by the next day and apologized after explaining his world to me with daises and cookies. The chocolate chips spelled out 'I'm sorry.' I believe he knows what he may and may not stab in the enclosure, now.

[She can't help but huff a laugh at the memory. At the time it had been bizarre but...sweet.]

Katniss and you are close still, yes? She may be able to explain who you are.

[A beat.]

A man that was searching for god appeared out of nowhere in my house and started to look for books- fuckin' weird is an understatement.

[fuckthemission]

Sounds about right -

[Of course, he's referring to Peeta baking in general, but then you throw a curveball at him and he's quiet for a moment.]

... Searching for god?

[Whelp.]

In order to end the apocalypse. Whatever world he came from? I do not envy it's inhabitants in the slightest.

[fuckthemission]

[He laughs.]

In my world, we'd refer to him as 'that crazy homeless guy on the corner that smells weird', but I guess now that I'm here, anything's possible.

All I've managed to do is add a few additional locks to the doors in the house and reinforce the bolts on the windows. I do not want anyone uninvited getting inside.

[Video]

[fuckthemission]

Better than nothing. Hell, I should probably fortify my own shit.

[Video]

[fleurdesel]

Paranoia is a healthy thing...we never got around to timing our lock picking abilities, did we?

[Video]

[fuckthemission]

[Snerk.]

Don't believe so, no. [and then, teasingly] Though we both know I would have been the grand champion.

[Video]

[fleurdesel]

You sound so certain of yourself Rick. We will have to compare times once I'm allowed out and about without a stern look from my minders.

[Video]

[fuckthemission]

Aaaaah, see. You like to be a minder, yourself. It's nice to know you're getting all the stern looks this time around. [GRIIIIIN. Seriously, you always give him those doctor looks.]

[Video]

[fleurdesel]

While I find it irritating, I also know that it is necessary and for my own health.

...

That does not make it any less irritating. I do not know how you stand me.

[fuckthemission]

I have the patience of a saint, of course. Sniper, remember? I sit and stare at things for a living, most of the time.

[Video]

[fleurdesel]

A sarcastic, American, rough edged saint. Though. Are you saying you stare at me?

[Video]

[fuckthemission]

Would you be weirded out if I said "yes"?

I've always been more of an observer, even since I was a kid. Guess my role in the army just came naturally.

[Video]

[fleurdesel]

I might be. Then again I might be flattered. We won't know until you answer.

That does explain your random ogling of passing villagers the morning you found your scope.

[Video]

[fuckthemission]

Yes, then.

If someone's hurt, you can't help but turn into a doctor, right? I do the same. Give me a scope, I'll be in the bushes cackling and watching people like a creep.

[At least he's admitting it, right?]

[Video]

[fleurdesel]

Hmm...flattered it is.

[There's nothing quite so refreshing in a man as honesty. Even if 'cackling' makes her quirk a brow.]

I cannot honestly imagine you cackling, Rick.

[Video]

[fuckthemission]

Oh, internally cackling. Otherwise they'd know I'm there and throw things at me.

[Video]

[fleurdesel]

That is somewhat easier to see. You haven't made a habit of peeping around with that scope, have you?

[Video]

[fuckthemission]

... Sometimes when I can't sleep, once and a while. I'd feel more guilty about it if people even knew I were there in the first place—haven't lost my groove, anyway.

...

Besides, it's not like I can see into anyone's windows this time around.

[Video]

[fleurdesel]

You are still having difficulty sleeping, or is this an irregular occurrence? [Laid up and still poking at his health. If only a little.]

...this time around?

[Video]

[fuckthemission]

[Maybe I can avoid that doctorly question with facts about my past life. Especially because, well. He wrinkles his nose at the image of watching some of those British bros back in London.]

Back home, rooftops at the district. I had the job of watching the refugees settling down through their windows at night... Let's just say I've seen a little too much of some of 'em and needed to scrub my eyes out with soap once or twice.

[Video]

[fleurdesel]

[Aw, cute. She's still going to ask because not being answered is worse than him saying 'oh it only happens now and again'.]

You could always have looked away- but. Is a sniper not trained for...oh how did Marion put it. Hm. Something...about not focusing on any one detail, but keeping your eyes focused for movement? It was something to that effect. I honestly cannot remember right now.

[Video]

[fuckthemission]

That depends. 'Hunters' look for movement. Watchers watch. I'm a little bit of both, sometimes more than the other depending on what my duty is that day.

Focusing on one thing tends to get you killed, though, yeah. You probably know that most snipers never work alone for that very reason; our backs tend to be open field for attack.
