[The video opens, angled strangely as if the video is accidental. Only half a face is visible - pale, sunken eyes, and a stubble'd cheek. The normally put-together Cinna looks positively taken apart. A hand comes into view, rubbing over his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose as he begins to speak in a bitter tone.]

Bravo, City. Not even the Capitol could have conceived that little torture - after all, who better to harm us than ourselves? Who knows better what fears we harbor, sins we cover-up.

Well played. Really, well played.

[The feed ends with an angry click.]

[He sits at the kitchen table, cradling his coffee in one hand as the other casually tosses the device to the side. Taking a sip, he winces, even after several cups he's not used to the flavor without sugar and cream, but today... there's nothing comforting about today so the coffee's as black as his mood. From the moment he woke up, before the sun had even hit the horizon, he'd been sitting in this chair, contemplating his own... foolishness.

How could he ever have believed he had a grasp on what happened to those children in the arena? How could he ever have thought he could help? It was arrogance to the nth degree to have ever thought he understood. To have thought that he could help erase the scars. He should have realized sooner how deep they go.

Now with the sun several hours up, he's still hardly moved, looking out the window, more determined than ever to see the Capitol fall.

I'm sure she will, I'm making her something, too.

[He smiles a little, accepting Katniss' concession and giving his own. He often questions the fate that tossed her in his path, but Cinna thanks it as well. Frustrating and confusing she may be, but she seems to have forgiven him his home and upbringing.

More than he deserves.

He doubts he'll live to see the woman she'll become, but it's nice to wonder about occasionally.]

Look under 'Peter Pan' and you shouldn't be able to go wrong.

And that's the costume you want?

She and I have a few things in common, so it seemed like a logical choice. And it stops other people from making the jokes before I do it myself.

What's your favorite kind of cookie?

My favorite what?

You don't know what a cookie is?

No, I understand what a cookie is, I'm a bit unsure of its relevance to the conversation.

Designing things is a good enough distraction for you. Baking's a good enough distraction for me.

Ah, you want to make me cookies. I like sugar cookies, plain actually, no fancy frosting.

[ooc: Did she want Disney Tinkerbell, or can he be more creative within the realm of green fairies?]

That's easy enough. Really easy enough. Almost scary easy enough.

[ooc: She was thinking Tink-based with a Cinna touch, so... I'm sure more creativity would work great. I had a picture or two I was thinking of using but otherwise haven't been able to find much that wasn't like... scary sob.]

My personal tastes are very simple, really.

They do say that less is more.

It really is, at least that's how I try to keep things. Ornateness has its time and place, but sometimes simple is best.
