Though she never made a point of outright ignoring people, Ariadne realised at some point that perhaps she had missed something with her latest crop of Tributes. Cinna's comments to her last they spoke rang in the back of her head, niggling and telling her that she was supposed to feel attached to these people in some regard.

She'd always found that a little bit difficult, all things considered; she wasn't the type to get attached to begin with, and when they rotated every time she blinked, despite it not being quite as often as Cinna recalled, it was even more difficult. Who was to say if the Tribute she liked best would disappear off to God-knew-where after the next Arena or not?

But now she was going to make an effort. She spent more time making herself available for the lot of them, hanging around in more public spaces, and endeavouring to look helpful instead of perhaps standoffish or detached as usual.

"Yeah." Don nodded, with a pause. "You think they'd allow for actual one-to-one practice? You can only do so much with the dummies."

"I'm sure that wouldn't be too much of a problem to find someone to watch us spar, if we asked."

Not like they don't watch us most of the time anyhow.

Don decided to restrain himself from the sarcasm.

"I could always ask Eva to arrange that," he said thoughtfully. "She's managed to get reasonable requests through, and...I don't see how it would be too unreasonable."

"...Yeah. I'll definitely talk to her about it." At that, Don looked at Ariadne. "What about you? I mean...would you want to plan a spar?"
