[ Katniss has a warmer look on her face than she usually does when she speaks to people over the network. While the smile on her lips isn't large by anyone's standards, it's sweet and genuine. Her hair isn't in her usual braid, though her fingers are currently combing through it and working to do so. It gives her hands something to keep them busy while she talks. ]

I realized I should probably start looking for someone who can sew soon. Since my stylist isn't here with Peeta and Rue and I.

[ There's a sad look on her face for just the tiniest glimmer of a moment. She misses Cinna. She's almost certain he's dead. But she still misses him, and his beautiful dresses. ]

I need someone who can design a wedding dress for me. It doesn't have to be anything flashy or over-the-top. Just something simple. I can pay in money, or trade for game.

[ No one has prompted her to do this. But she knows they have a wedding to plan and an engagement to upkeep, so she figures now is as good a time as any. ]

Thank you.

Can't argue with that logic, can we? [Not fishy at all! Rumpelstiltskin was a farmer, after all. He's never been much of a fisherman.]

I do. Something small, but in the sight of this turn of events, it would be an honor for you to have it for your special day, regardless of the date.

[ Farmer of souls and babies :| ] No, I don't think anyone could.

I -- can't thank you enough. We've only spoken once... [ She turns this over in her head a few times, considering carefully. ] I couldn't. You're very generous, but -- [ She hates owing people. ]

[Baby brokering. There's a difference, young lady!]

Please, you would do an old man some good, to let him contribute to a day that not many get to experience. I'm a fan of love in whatever form it comes in. [He pauses, smiling widely, so his gold tooth glints.]

This would help with the old adage of something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. Can't have you jinxing your wedding.

[ Yeah, yeah. ]

I don't know -- [ She really doesn't like owing people. ] - What is it?

And give away the surprise? It wouldn't do it justice, to show it over the camera. Five minutes of your time, that's all I ask.

Sure. [ He's so nice to her all the time what is this. ] Should I meet you somewhere? [ She's very curious. ]

[He likes her. And the idea that she could be lying, and that one day she might owe him a favor. Just a small one, of course.]

My shop is called "Crossroads". It's in sector three, let me send you the address. [Which he then does.]

Do you want me to come by now? [ She can, really. She looks at the address. She could find her way there easily. ]

If you'd like. I'm here every day, so it's not as if you've lost your chance if it's not today.

If I have time, I'll come by later. If not, expect me tomorrow morning. When do you open?

We open around nine, and we close at around six.

I'll see you in the morning, then.

See you then, my dear.

[Action it, even if it's late? Otherwise, Mr. Gold is going to give her an antique wedding veil, something lacy but old, a head dress of some kind with lace designs on it to hide her face, until the big reveal.]

[ Katniss shows up at 10:00, sharp, game bag empty of actual game and slung over her shoulder, bow and quiver temporarily tucked inside of it. She looks around the inside for a moment or two; interesting place. ]

Mr. Gold?

[At the sound of the bell ringing above the door, Mr. Gold came out from the back room, giving a smile at the girl who just arrived.]

Miss Everdeen? It's so good to meet you in person, I'm glad you were able to come. Did you have trouble finding the place?
