Dande was so unsure right now.

She stood on the door step, shifting in her boots, wanting to knock on the door and wanting to bolt back down the street at the same time.

She'd found this addressed scribbled on a scrap of paper. And had decided to come, without asking about it. Because if she asked, she knew this whole trip would have been put down before she got out of the door.

But now she was actually here, all her courage was seeping out quickly. So before it could all go, she lifted her hand and knocked quickly on the door.

Maybe no one would be home.

She chewed her lip for a moment, before decided to go for it.

"Dande. From California."

[distorted_secale]

"Dande? I like it, it's different. Not like I can talk with a name like Rhi. I've always wanted to go to California, I hear the ocean there is a lot different that ours, sounds fun." And you would look hot in a bikini. He didn't say that last part but he wanted to. There was something familiar about the name Dande, but he couldn't really put his finger on what.

[beneficialweed]

"Oh, I love the ocean. It's my favorite part about being there!"

Granted where they lived the ocean wasn't quite as accessible. But she would take road trips south often enough. And the beach was still beautiful and sometimes tempting.

He watched for for a moment, there was something about he he couldn't quiet put his finger on, but it was so familiar. He tried to take her in and focus on what it was, but kept being distracted by her eyes.

"Do you surf? I've really always wanted too, but the water here is just a ripple away from placid, unless it's trying to kill you." He decided to move on to avoid looking like a creep.

[beneficialweed]

"Nah. I boogie boarded some, but I don't have the balance for surfing. You would probably be good at it."

He looked like the surfer type.

Maybe she could just bring him home. If she ever went home. Which was looking less and less likely.

[distorted_secale]

"I do have fairly good balance, or so I've been told." He smiled at her really unsure where he was trying to go with that.

"So what do you do for fun then?"

this icon unrelated, I just wanted to match.

[beneficialweed]

"Me? Well I like going to the beach. I play music, drive around a lot, hike..."

Dande was rarely bored at home, but listing it off, it all seemed so boring.

"What about you?"

Fyi I'm playing icon roulette they arn't named yet.

"Don't get him started talking about himself we'll be here all day." Peeta called from the other room.

Rhy seemed to pay him no mind and took a drink of milk casually.

"Well lets see, I really love swimming, we have a lot of really beautiful swimming holes around here a few that most people don't know about. I love being in the woods, I'll have to show you some time.My biggest passion, though, is for history and politics. I love going to museums, Dad takes me to D.C. every year for my birthday I'll pick a museum and spend days exploring it carefully, so I don't miss anything. I hope I don't sound too lame." He smiled again not sure how well his wooing was going. fair well he hoped.

[beneficialweed]

"Not at all."

Her mind was already running down museums she could take him to see in California.

"We should go swimming. Here. Maybe there, if you ever come back with me."

[distorted_secale]

Going well indeed. She was already inviting him home with her. A wide grin spread a cross his face.

"That could be fun. Either could be very fun in fact."

Over his shoulder, his father rolled his eyes. He then smiled and winked at Dande, miming out choking.

[beneficialweed]

She was nearly vibrating with excitement. This was going so well.

Stuffing the rest of the delicious cinnamon bun in her face, she stood up.

"Will you show me around?"
