"I don't think anybody wants to - everyone has been really nice to me since I got here." Prim reassures Five, thinking back to the multiple offers that were made to help her - offers that she didn't have to poke, prod, or otherwise ask for. She never even considered or thought about needing help, or reaching out really, before it was brought to her attention. It's been since then that she'd managed to find Lydia and begin her tutoring - and that, obviously, led to her getting to come to this. So, really, Prim can't really complain about anybody here as o so far.
The people, somehow, seem to be better than those that she's used to dealing with in Panem. Maybe it's because certain events haven't happened like they did in the history of her home, but the fact of the matter is that the people, especially the ones brought here, seem to have her back. Katniss would appreciate it, even if it isn't something that Prim thinks of without proming. Five seems to have taken on the job for the sister that can't be here at the moment, though. And she cares about him, which is probably the major reason that she isn't complaining really.
"You think so?" Prim asks, trying not to feel too hopeful. "I'd like to go to more things like this - not a lot of them, but maybe some." She wouldn't want to put him through that, but also...she doesn't want to be like the people at the Capitol. She doesn't want to lose perspective. She doesn't want to become someone who doesn't care, who can't value life or people. She doesn't think that she could be that sort of person, even if she went to an event weekly, but you never know?
Forgetting to add anything from the last little stretch of the buffet table, Prim follows after Five, caught off guard by the question. "Oh...I don't know - I'll probably keep studying so that I can try and catch up if Lydia doesn't mind, maybe I can take summer school. And it'll give me more time to work. Why?" She's not sure where he's going with the question, truth be told, but there isn't any sense of hesitation at all in telling him what comes to mind initially. And though she doesn't say it, the realization othat she would like to spend more time with their other roommate, Peter, and some of the other teens maybe...but mostly him...pops into her mind unbidden.
