What turns your fingers weird colours? I didn't think I gave you any of my brothers' sweets on Halloween.

The dyes, mostly. For making frosting different colors?

Didn't take you for a baker, Odair.

That's because I'm not. These days I just work the counter.

If you want I can always bring you the dyes so you can turn your fingers whatever colors you please.

Can you mix them up for me so the stains will match my eyes?

How poetic. Are you looking for color coordination?

No, but at least that way I'd have a witty excuse for my unnaturally-colored fingers.

[He's leaning with his elbows on the counter near the register, looking mildly bored. Alas, this "get a job and do actual work" thing is a gradual adjustment.]

Oh, is Peeta working the counter?

No, but I can make him come out especially to serve you, if that's what you want.

This joke didn't go as planned.

Do you want to try it again? I promise I'll act properly offended this time.

[And she wanders in, looking at all the cookies, and she doesn't even notice Finnick]

Hi, there.

[Business is kind of slow at the moment, and there are only so many ways you can keep yourself entertained when you're standing behind a counter. All things considered, Finnick's glad for the distraction of a customer, no matter what age.]

They look pretty good, don't they?

[She looks up at him and smiles. He doesn't seem to recognize her at all]

Oh, yes. Do you have a favorite?

[Finnick's seen a lot of kids in his life, many of which were about this girl's age. He's seen a lot of them die, too, which is why he tries hard not to pay too close of attention to their faces. It's easier when they all start to run together.]

The frosted ones, definitely. They're the sweetest.
