Hot in Herre || Essa and Trainer Hudson || Aquatics
I sat on the sidelines for a little while, watching the other tributes and allowing the District Two tributes to take my spot with Rex after I left the hand to hand station. Good, let him beat up Izara for a little bit. I smiled a little bit as I watched her approach. Then I scanned the room, trying to decide where else I would require training. I would eventually go towards the weapons station because that was familiar to me, but I needed to hone some other talents. Then my eyes settled on the pool and I knew what my next stop would be.
I knew how to swim and it wasn’t a particular weakness that I had, but it wasn’t exactly my biggest strength either. I could keep myself alive and swim to any shore nearby but I wouldn’t be winning any races, so I picked mysel up and headed to the pool.
Almost immediately, I regretted my decision. The trainer there seemed lackadaisical, with his shirt off and his easy demeanor.
“Ok, let’s get going,” I said curtly. “Essa from District One. I know how to swim so we don’t need to go through the beginner bullshit.”
