Every time someone speaks, Annie's torn between relief and disappointment that she never recognises the way they speak. This woman looked closer than most to how a lot of District folks look like, brown skinned and strong featured, but still. An utterly strange accent.

"Annie. Um. Annie Cresta."

Not many people here use last names, but her momma had raised her to be polite. And this woman - Kassandra - hasn't accused her of staring even though that's exactly what she's been doing.

"You're, you're very good. The archery? That's, that's, uh. Talent."

Talent and a hell of a lot of practice, but that's what good talent is according to Annie Cresta.
