Scotty's been quietly looking forward to Caro's Victory Tour stopping in District 3 more or less since she won. It'll be nice to see both her and Walter outside the Capitol for once. For a number of reasons. But then Caro had that minor meltdown in one of her posts, and Scotty really would like their train to hurry up so he can see for himself that she's all right. He's seen Data having rotten days like that often enough. His current plan is to make a great pest of himself and see if hugging sense into people is possible. He thinks Data's plan is probably similar.

So instead of waiting for the dinner party after the speech, Scotty's waiting at the train station.

"Oh, so ye are," Scotty says, mostly talking to the dog. "Why don't I take the little omelet here while ye do your thing?"

Caro looks a little surprised, but grateful. "Oh, that'd be great actually. He doesn't really like the prep stuff."

"Oh, ye don't?" Egg just wags his tail and licks Scotty's hand again. "Well then, we'll just find ye something else to do." He scoops up Egg and stands back up. Egg wriggles in typical puppy fashion, but goes along with it.

"Be good, Egg," Caro says, reaching out to pat him on the head.

"We'll see you after your speech then, lass," Scotty says as the prep team shoos her away.
