A Week in Rural Scotland

[rainne]

Thank you for joining us here in picturesque Glen Macalie, on the shore of Loch Leven in the Grampian Mountains of Scotland. We welcome you to the campus of the Glen Macalie School for Girls and hope that you will enjoy your stay.


This week will largely be unstructured; you are welcome to investigate the castle (which dates back to 1237 CE) and the nearby village of Glen Macalie. Some resources which will be available to you include:

In the castle:
Comprehensive Library
Modern Kitchens
State of the art Training/Exercise Room
Extensively landscaped grounds and gardens
Horseback Riding
Fishing
Hiking

In the village:
Shopping
Pubs and restaurants
Museum
Historical buildings
Golf

We ask only that you take care to observe the following rules:

1) Please do not leave campus near or after dark.
2) Venturing too far outside after dark, even on campus, is not guaranteed to be safe. You do so at your own risk.
3) There will be occasional evening events. Participation in these events should be considered of minor risk; however, anyone taking part should endeavor to follow all directions to ensure his or her safety.

If you have any questions, please feel free to see Mr. Giles or Ms. Summers.

*nods, smiling at her*

Good. I promise it's going to be okay. You're already the better person for even talking to her in the first place.

On a side note...I was telling Katniss about us when you came in. She was really happy for us.

See? That makes you even better.

Sorry...I know she's not your favorite, but she seemed really happy to hear some good news.

Not if...not if it would make you feel uncomfortable. It's your day...our day...she doesn't have to come if it will make you upset.

*smiles sheepishly*

I kind of would. Thank you, ma belle. I'm going to...I'm gonna go say bye to her, then do you want to go do something else?

-Peeta

[http://users.livejournal.com/_eyesofpride_/]

Not sure. There are a lot of things to do around here, I think. We can go find one. You think of something and I'll go say goodbye. I'll be right back, okay?

*goes back over to say goodbye to Katniss, coming back to her*

Okay. We are free to go find something to do.

*nods, smiling, extending his hand to her*

Okay. That sounds good. Lead the way.

*buttons his coat up tightly when they get outside, looking around at the garden*

It is. I'm surprised it's so nice and green with it being so cold out.

*chuckles, nudging her with their hands*

That sounds nice. Though, I don't think we'll be able to do what we usually do in front of the fireplace here.

Yeah! That looks like fun. Let's do it.

-Peeta

[http://users.livejournal.com/_eyesofpride_/]

Mmm...what a good plan. We can add another place to our list.

*walks through the maze with her, running his other hand over the hedges*

Oh, then we can so do this. Mmm...getting lost with you would be nice...but without food, we can't ever get really lost. That would be tragedy.

-Peeta

[http://users.livejournal.com/_eyesofpride_/]

Not...on paper? But I bet we could come up with the list if we thought about it. Do you think we need to write it down?

*grins, nudging her shoulder*

My chocolate angel! You are so smart!

-Peeta

*laughs*

Who would find it? We already have things from almost everywhere we've been. We could keep little things from everywhere we've been to.

*looks around as well, chuckling a little*

Do we have a plan on how to get out now?

-Peeta

[http://users.livejournal.com/_eyesofpride_/]

*wraps his arms around her waist, smiling at her*

I mean...the point of a maze is to get out, right? But...if you have a reason to stay in here all alone, I think I'd be open to that.
