She didn't know what to do with herself right now. No Peeta, No Haymitch. No one was in this room with her. So she just wandered, leaving the room that looked too much like her room on the train for her liking. She wanted more than anything to be back in District 12. She'd even stay in her house in Victor's Square without complaint if that wish was granted to her.

She hated everything about the Capitol with every fiber of her being. Yet, she would continue to follow Haymitch's advice from her first games: Stay alive. And so she walks with quiet, sure, steps with that thought in mind.

Stay alive.

She startles at the greeting, even though she knows she probably shouldn't have. She has to take a small calming little breath before she replies, just to try and pretend that she hadn't been startled for no reason, even though it's a pretty futile attempt and Annie knows it.

"Hello," she says and tries to smile, but it probably comes across as looking a little terrified, so she tries to cover it up by continuing to speak, but she can't think of anything to say so she settles on asking the first thing that comes to mind. "Are you....are you Katniss?"

The girl seemed jittery, frightened almost. She can practically see the gears turning in her head as she withdraws and attempts to calm herself.

"Yeah, Katniss Everdeen. You?" She was sensing a pattern today of running across people she was 90 percent sure she didn't know or hadn't seen from previous games. She wasn't sure about this girl anymore than the girl was sure about her.

"I... um... Annie," she tells her and as though if for half a second she had almost forgotten, and then moves to smooth out the imaginary creases in her dress as she continued to explain. "I... we haven't met I don't think. I'm from District 4."

[dandelionsinspring]

"District 4... then you would be Annie Cresta?" She remembers some of the Games before hers. Annie's had been the 70th, if she remembered correctly.

"Ugh, Does Finnick always act so weird?" She had to ask. They were from the same District so Annie knew him best. Finnick had been annoying her the second she met him.

Her eyes go wide at the mention of Finnick. She's always so afraid she will say the wrong things to the wrong people about him, and she has no idea if she can trust this girl to keep anything secret should Annie accidentally slip up and say more than she should.

"I am, yes," she nods at the question about her name. "And he's... um, Finnick is very friendly, I guess you could say."

Katniss thinks about this for a minute, the girl seemed nervous all of a sudden. She couldn't be that horrible to be around, right? She tries to give her a soft smile, hopefully come across as less threatening - though not sure why she'd care if she was threatening or not - and more friendly.

"Yeah, he's friendly alright. Does he always act that weird around people? Or is it just people he wants to freak out?" She caught on fairly quickly he was just sizing her up, fresh meat and all.
