"Jodi?"
"Hey..."
"Did Cayden hurt you?"
"Oh, no! He didn't."
"Well, what's up?"
"I was out shopping and just thought I'd call."
"Why call me?"
"To get to know my knight in shining armor."
"Well, my name is Rupert the third. I'm 5 foot 10 inches. My hair is b-"
"No, no, no, no...."
"What do you mean?"
"Tell me what you like. What you don't like. Just tell me everything."
"Well what do you want to know?"
"How about your favorite clothing fabric?"
"Clothing fabric?"
"Stop laughing and answer the question."
"I actually prefer just plain cotton."
"Boring!"
"Well, Miss I'm-Too-Fancy-For-Cotton, what do you prefer?"
"I prefer silk; it makes me feel pretty."
"You are pretty."
"I don't even know you in real life."
"So? Your personality is gorgeous, so I can't begin imagine what you look like."
"Well, thank you."
"You're very welcome."

"Rupert?"
"Hmm?"
"Should I get a black shirt or an orange shirt?"
"Orange."
"Yeah, I was thinking that, too."
"...What's your favorite color?"
"Orange."
"Okay, Peeta, why orange?"
"Because it's the color of a peach. which makes you question why it's called a peach and not an orange 2.0 ."
"Peaches aren't a peach color?"
"No, Rupert, they aren't."
"I use peaches to make cupcakes, Miss Queen of the Peaches."
"Which only makes it worse that you don't know the color."
"Hey. I like it... Peaches. Your nickname will be Peaches."
"Peaches?"
"Yes, Peaches."
"...I don't know how I feel about that nickname."
"Well I love it, Peaches."
