Prim might not approve of Tim getting drunk all the time, mostly because she worries about him when he stumbles back in either drunk or hungover, but that never stops her from trying to help him anyway. It's a good thing she's had experience helping drunk people in Panem. Mostly Haymitch. Poor Haymitch. He'd almost drunk himself to death. Literally. Between Prim's coma and Katniss' death, he'd barely had anything to live for. When she woke up, Prim immediately started caring for him and she kept that up as a way to keep her sister's memory alive. Sometimes caring for others was all that kept her going.

That definitely carried over to Itinere and Tim became one of the people Prim cared most for. She did what she could for him and slowly started to think of him as a friend. Katniss hated him, she was sure, but if the topic ever came up, Prim would vouch for him. She liked him, he treated her well, and that was what mattered.

She was glad when he agreed to her idea of a picnic. While he might be bringing the drinks, she's got a basket of berries she picked from her own vines, various melons that are also hers, and goat cheese she made from her new goats' milk. She's also made small sandwiches and little things they can eat with their hands.

As she spots him while making her way down the walkway, a shy smile crosses her face. "Hi," she says, just as shyly, glancing him over to see how he's doing today. "I've never really done this with anyone but my family--" Peeta and Haymitch were definitely family by the time she came back. "--so thanks for agreeing."

She's excited and nervous and it probably shows.
