Kate is already in very good shape, with skills in fighting and weapons that allow her to hold her own in the field with superheroes and monsters of all kinds. But all of her training, all of her hard work, the countless adventures she's had across the world, none of that has prepared her for Panem. This situation is beyond anything she could have dreamed up, and so she's now spending over time in the training center, working out and preparing her body for combat. It's not exactly a healthy state of mind she's in, but she's too anxious and frankly too scared to sit around and be idle in this situation.

"No worries," she says, keeping her chipper tone. "There's plenty of gym space to go around."

At least the feeling of panic has let up a bit. The other girl doesn't seem threatening, which she might wind up regretting thinking later. For now, it's a reassuring realization. Maybe this other girl is just like her; trapped and confused and in way over her head.

"Seriously, this place is ginormous."

that's okay!

"I'm surprised there aren't more people here, honestly."

She looked around to see if she missed anyone. Then she looked around for something she thought she might be able to train with. Nothing seemed particularly inspiring.

"...What you are training with?"

Okay, maybe she shouldn't have asked that. It's not like people were going to spill what they were good with, when the arena awaited them all.

Kate has no qualms about answering truthfully. Sure, it could be advantageous to keep her goods to herself, but strategy isn't exactly her strongest suit. She likes to barge in and take action, leave the planning to someone else.

"I'm an archer," she replies, strong arms folding neatly on her hips. "It's kind of my thing. What about you?"

Suze nods, but then shrugs.

"I'm not really trained to use any weapon. The most I know are a few basic self defense moves." And those didn't help her out too much last time.
