Hadrian gave a tight nod of acknowledgement. Good, she had an ally now. That would definitely help, she knew that for a fact.

" Do you see your district partner anywhere?" The girl asked her, to which Hadrian thought for a moment as she looked around before shaking her head. " He was over on his platform," she said calmly as the girl began to go through her bag. The District 1 girl watching as she continued, " I'm not sure where he went after though." Her tone was frustrated as her high ponytail shook, whipping around the back of her head. The young woman quickly took this out and left the elastic around her wrist, it was much too cold for her to keep her hair up. " Someone probably tore it when they were trying to grab for it," the brunette answered softly as she looked over at Mallory.

" But we should check the Cornucopia for anything left behind," Hadrian murmured as she took her own bag from her back, curious as to what she had gotten. She unzipped it and quickly rifled through the items; a few full bottles of water, some food, a jacket which she put on, a tiny first aid kit, some rope and a sleeping bag. Hadrian re-zipped the bag and pulled it onto her back, " No weapons," she reported. " Some food and water, this jacket, some first aid stuff and some rope." She listed off the items, counting them on her fingers and coming up with several uses for each in her mind. " That's it."

Her dark eyes turned to Mallory as she introduced herself, to which the other girl responded while her head tilted up to see the taller girl properly. Suddenly, she was startled as her District counterpart ran up to them and stood beside her, " Are the Career's joining up?" he asked. Hadrian nodded, half turning to look at him, " Yeah, the alliance has begun." Then she glanced back at the District 2 girl as JiYong introduced himself, not even blinking as she had barely remembered the male's name. " I'm Hadrian," she murmured, " Same district as him; 1."

With an emotionless expression on her face, Hadrian turned to look at the Cornucopia and the blood staining the white snow. " We should see if there's anything else that we can salvage," she said softly, " or find your district partner." Her eyes shifted to Mallory, " What do you two think?"
