Do you really think there's anything we can do?
[ so bitter. she's already learned how outclassed she is here on the ship, and there's a part of her that still hasn't gotten used to the fact that they're supposed to be working together instead of fighting, sees everyone as competition. except peeta. and except haymitch. ]

[ bitter, but not wrong. just because he'd rather not waste time on pessimism doesn't mean peeta's not aware of the fact that they're powerless. ]
He probably thought the same thing about us. [ there's an edge of fondness in the comment, but it's too weighed down by the situation to be considered light. ] But he didn't give up. I guess it's our turn to return the favor.
[ us. more like haymitch didn't give up on katniss, but peeta can't really hold it against him for making a smart bet. ]

Good day to you-- this is Princess Nuala, you may recall our earlier conversation. I thought to draw your attention to this work, which I felt might interest you as someone who desires new perspectives on the workings of this ship and those aboard.

I remember you. Thank you for thinking of me.
And I remember that announcement, too. I probably should've replied, but I don't think I'd have much to offer on discussions of science and magic. [ not much good to say about science, anyway; aside from his leg, the capitol's scientists had never done him any favors. but that's more modesty than deflection, so he's quick to add: ] Are you joining the department?

Kind of reminds me of home.
[ annnd speaking of that science thing. ] Do you know what he meant by mutants? People with unique skills, I know, but were they made in a lab?
[ reasons he didn't ask charles directly. his tact only goes so far, and trying to grasp different definitions of mutts kind of pushes it. ]

No - or rather, he doesn't speak of such creations ( nuala doesn't say abominations but she does think it ) but I am certain that he'd not them away, were they interested.
No, Professor Xavier speaks of a natural mutation, of a new subspecies of mortal kind emerging in his world.

[ you feel him, girlfriend. abominations is the right word. ]
Does that happen often? New subspecies of mortal kind appearing on their own.
[ there's gentle amusement in that wording (mortal kind....), but it reads straight enough as text. ]

I don't, no, though I know there are those who hold that opinion. The idea that 'magic' is merely a word for something not understood is foolishness to one who understands it perfectly well. I would allow, of course, that it may be so that magic is something that can be understood scientifically, for isn't it a search for knowledge? I don't speak of magic with the intention to depress curiosity, after all.
What I do think is that we will learn from one another, that we will be able to find ways to work hand in glove with one another, to bring our disciplines together in ways we can't yet foresee.

Mr. Mellark,
Good day. I had hoped to check in with you, to see how you are faring. Please do let me know.
Regards,
M. Edgeworth

As a matter of course.
[As in he's nearly snapped several times and is afraid he's going to be kicked off security and can't sleep.
He didn't come in with a game plan better than "how are you," and so the next question is thought up after an awkward length of time:]
Have you been baking?

[ Not as strange a question as it probably should be, and it actually makes Peeta laugh, short and genuinely amused. ]
Not here. I'm not allowed in the kitchens.
[ Unsupervised is the end of that sentence. It occurs to him a moment later that it doesn't make sense, not when there's no Katniss here to poison, no real reason he should be treated as a threat. ]
Why, do you need a cake?
