[furgood]

Yes. I mean, maybe. If I ever decide it's done.

[devoutish]

Mmm... interesting choice, though, to write about two women.

[He's careful not to sound like he has a problem with it, because he doesn't, really, but he's still very much in a "straight is the default" sort of mindset.]

[furgood]

Is more common in the Capitol, really, but the idea just came to me honestly. It'd be the same sort of plot if they were both men or a man and woman but they wouldn't be the same characters.

[devoutish]

Suppose not, no.

[He quirks a brow at her.]

But for your future writing, your future books - how on Earth is it impossible to research other places, eh? You've got people from all over in the Meadous. This is the best place for it.

[furgood]

Well--I can't just read it or go there. And it's it's so easy to get an incomplete picture of a place. I've seen London but only a little bit. Early morning, quiet, but there's plenty I don't know. What you eat, what you do for work, what you wear. What is it like during the day, at night?

[devoutish]

I'll show you more of London.

[His answer his immediate.]

I'll show you Hyde Park. You'd like Hyde Park.

[furgood]

[She bites back a laugh at how he didn't even hesitate ]

I'd love to see more, really. Whatever you'd like to show me. I don't know if I'd fit in. Clothing wise, I mean, if your idea of bathing suits is any indication.

[devoutish]

Well, they're only dreams - memories - so that doesn't matter so much, does it? But we could wish for some clothes for you, if you like.

[furgood]

I just wonder if it would break the illusion. For them. Even if they aren't real. [Hum ] We told Ellis' mother that I was just from out of town.

[devoutish]

I wonder what would happen if the illusion is broken. We might ask Zephyr about that.

[furgood]

I don't know. Just um... I guess they can pretend that I'm from somewhere else.

[devoutish]

And we won't take you to any beaches.

[He winks at her.]

Yeah, we told my family that Royce was an old friend from the war, if I remember correctly.

[furgood]

[Grin ] I'd be the talk of the town for sure. What would you even do with me huh?

[devoutish]

Take you to Hyde Park; I told you. I've been through there; I've got memories.

[furgood]

[She shakes her head ] No--nefur mind. Of course. I've only been to these tiny little parks. Scraps of green.

It is a green sort of park right?

[devoutish]

Yeah, of course. Very big, as well. There are fountains, hedges, grass lawns--

[furgood]

Sounds beautiful honestly. [Little smoke ] You can take me whenever you'd like.

[devoutish]

Anywhere?

[furgood]

Anywhere. Whatever you want to show me.

[devoutish]

Then I'll extend the same to you. Whatever you wanna show me, I'll see.

[furgood]

Deal. Though I doubt I'll show you much beyond Four. You've no interest in setting the Capitol.

[devoutish]

Do you have interest in me seeing the Capitol?

[furgood]

[Pause ] I don't know. There's beautiful things there but a lot of awful things happened there. Happened in Four and Thirteen too. But I don't want to show you those.

[devoutish]

Sounds to me like the true beautiful things are in Four.

[The Capitol's beauty always rings false to him, when he hears it described.]

[furgood]

You're biased. It's what I've told you about.
