She felt like a new girl in this new world, reborn and revitalized. It was difficult to even explain this shift in Felicity's spirit or what had prompted it precisely, but she personally put a great deal of emphasis on how liberating it felt to stroll through the Capitol in her very own pair of tailored trousers. Her outfit wasn't immodest by any means, but she still felt revolutionary donning them for the first time.

To celebrate her new life and small dose of freedom, she decided to take a stroll around the Capitol, exploring the area around the Tribute center first, eventually exploring a nearby park and later a quiet cafe. It wasn't London, and it certainly wasn't Paris, and she was still resentful about what had happened in the Arena and the circumstances of her presence in the Capitol, but she could still appreciate the small things, like a moderately sunny day or the oddly dressed citizens roaming around the place.

Did she have a mission for her wandering? No, none in particular. She wanted to explore what she could, learning through experience. Whatever had been told to her of the Capitol and it's wicked ways could be tested. The Arena was one thing, life outside of it was another.

Eva brings her hand back again to backhand Felicity. How dare she? How dare someone not recognize Eva for the force of nature that she is, the hurricane trapped in human clothes? "Stand down, Tribute!"

It hurts. Yes, it hurts badly. But Felicity refuses to yield.

"No." The girl takes a deep breath, rattling in her lungs as she inhales, then exhales. Her face is bright red, burning hot and starting to swell. It hurts, stings like a whip. But compared to what she's been through before? This is nothing. "Go on."

Eva realizes at this point that she has a choice - continue her attack, try to beat the hell out of this girl for her insolence, and face the Peacekeepers, or leave it now as a threat. It's only because she has to get her damn groceries that she decides on the latter.

She doesn't decide to just drop it, though. That would be wise, and Eva's fueled by pride and anger now.

She grabs for Felicity's hair. "You speak a harsh word to my girl again and you'll never make it out of another Arena alive."

Fee screams, but she doesn't thrash or kick, realizing that doing so will only make the pain worse. Instead, she's certain that her cries will have caught the attention of other patrons of the store, even the ones who'd been avoiding witnessing their altercation. It's only because her head is aching that she doesn't yell back something inflammatory about Eponine, just to spite Eva.

The people in the store start to rush around them, and Eva pulls away. This isn't where she wants to have her fight. She dumps her grocery items on the floor and makes off in a huff. The patrons clear for her to leave, not wanting to be the person she lashes out at next, and move to comfort Felicity (or, more likely, get the full scoop on what just happened).

There won't be punishment for Eva, at least not with Peacekeepers around. Mentor violence isn't entirely unheard of, and the Capitol citizens don't care much for justice for their Tributes.
