[ Hello Luceti! It's been a while since Bolin bothered to make an entry on the network so obviously this is a totally serious thing. That's why Bolin is wearing a totally serious sweet mustache and circus gear. Don't question it, just go along with it. ]

You now I never realized that in all the time I've been here, Pabu's been a bit of a one trick poodle pony, so we decided to improve one of his acts! [ He lowers his voice to stage whisper conspiratorially. ] Plus he's been getting a little pudgy lately so he could use the exercise.

[ He coughs and adjusts his tone, talking like a carnival barker moves aside to reveal Pabu in a little outfit and hat and... a very small tightrope that's only about two feet off the ground. ] So! For the first time ever in Luceti, may I present: The Amazing Performing Pabu!

[ On cue, Pabu climbs up onto the rope and proceeds to walk across it on only his front paws, only wobbling a little as he crosses the rope. Going by Bolin's gasps of awe this part is supposed to be suspenseful. When he reaches the end Bolin quickly moves to hold up a hoop for him. ] Come on buddy! All you have to do is stick the landing!

[ With a little flip Pabu jumps through the hoop and lands on the floor on his hind legs. ]

Tada! Pretty awesome, right?

Pabu's pretty smart so he figures out tricks really quickly. I give him treats when he gets it right. It's sorta the basics for training a pet, you give them something they want when they do what you want.

[Prim had given Buttercup everything the beast could have wanted. And still, he hadn't behaved. At least, he had never behaved for Katniss. Even when Prim insisted he should.

She shakes her head.]

That doesn't work for me.
