V sat alone in the blossoming atrium. Nasturtium flowered bloomed off to her left and a grove of gables stood off to her right. A quiet, man-made brook babbles betwixt the two. V crouched near a large rock by the water and began her breathing exercises. Deep inhales, followed by long, thoughtful exhales. Again, and again. Breath, after breathe. The jovial smile spread across her face quickly weakened into a detached smirk as she backed away and melded into the background foliage. Her contours and outline scantly visible even to the high definition lenses of the Capital's cameras. Silent, invisible; she sat in wait.

Rosa peeked her head into the atrium. "Geeze, they almost make impending doom seem elegant."
She needed somewhere to relax after what had happened in the training room. She hadn't MEANT to almost permanently destroy the hologram projector but really there was no one to blame but her. She laughed slightly to herself wondering why she had been worried about punitive repercussions from that display, "what were they going to do? Kick me out of the hunger games?" she scoffed.
She looked around at the foliage and breathed in deeply taking in the room. The flowers, the babbling brook, the...hand sticking out of that wall of leaves?
"Um...hello there...er...tree person?" She addressed the hand hoping that it still had a body attached to it.

(Well shit, there goes my alone time) She thought. "Hey" She responded a bit abashedly. "Yeah, I guess stealth isn't really my strong suite. I just like being alone, and I... well I think I can only really think when I'm off by my self. I think of myself as a part of nature so, I guess, I really feel like myself among the trees and wildlife," She laughed, mostly to herself, "well what little there is around her anyway." "I don't think we've really met. I'm V, from District Twelve."

"Rosa, district one" she replied quickly.
This was the first person she had actually talked to since coming to this facility and she wasn't about to let this opportunity slip between her fingers.
"If you don't mind me asking," she continued slightly confused, "what were you doing in that...bush?"

V eyed this new girl, Rosa, with a sideways glance. "Thought I'd just said, I like being alone with nature, I don't exactly have my pick of the litter for green spaces here in the capitol." "Oh dear, the poor thing's not deaf is she?" she thought to herself. "Anyway, I think my R&R is just about up. Think I'm going to grab a bite to eat."

Rosa watched as the female tribute seemed to just start walking away flippantly.
She paused for a moment but decided that it was more important to have some actual human interaction right now than maintain social tact. "Hey do you mind if I...tag along?" she called out after her.

"Sure, I think there's a party at district 11's dorm." She said as she left.
