Maybe someday they'll talk about food and their views on it. For now, though, Prim looks to what Chouji said to her, and asked.
"I've only been here since May first. I'm not sure if that's newer or not, but...that's how long it's been. I think it's newer, since the wings were my first thing." Her first event, she means. She's curious about the other one, and about all the ones to come before it, really. What has Katniss lived through? "What was your first?"
"I got here in mid-March. The first one... I wasn't really affected, but it was sort of like everyone was suddenly characters in a really badly written movie or book. They were all acting strange, and none of it made any sense."
Chouji is curious too. His teammates have been here so long without him, after all. He knows that even if they did give him a briefing and let him know what to watch out for, they've glossed over the worst of whatever they've gone through here. They don't want him to worry about them, of course, but that's part of being a team: concern for teammates, wanting to help them, care for them. That feeling is even stronger than usual right now.
"That sounds...well, weird. I know people are acting differently now, but..." Prim shrugs. It at least makes some sense: something about a new spirit. And it doesn't seem like a badly written book or anything. "I wonder if every experiment like this changes how people act...?"
Obviously people would act differently if something surprising happened, but...this was changing people's natures.
"I'm not sure. I don't remember whether the guide went into more specifics, but we could check. A lot of them probably do, but I bet there's some that do other things." What other things, Chouji doesn't actually know. "There could be physical changes instead of behavior sometimes."
He isn't that fond of this aspect himself, but at least... "I don't think this one has changed the way I act too much. What about you?"
He takes a few bites of his lunch while he waits for Prim to answer. Food, as always, is a pleasant distraction from worrying. When Prim eats, Chouji is careful to watch for her reaction, hoping that she likes the meal.
Prim's taking a bite of her stew when the question comes, but she takes the time to chew and swallow before answering, rather than getting flustered. She's a bit cautious just in case it's too hot, but she clearly likes the flavor. A+, Chouji.
"I don't think I've changed much, either. I guess...if anything, I'm worried about people even more than usual, but...I haven't wanted to do anything I wouldn't normally want to do, if that makes sense."
