Cynthia was watching the girl with white hair, she seemed distant somehow, even when she had started talking to her. At first she thought that she just plain didn't want to talk to her, "I even offered to braid your hair, meanie!" She thought to herself as she was sitting down opposite the girl. After a couple of seconds the girl pointed at her thoat, and wheezed something along the lines of I can't.

It all made sense to her now, this girl couldn't talk. "I knew you wouldn't ignore me!" She thought to herself as a smile shot across her face. The girl then began to sign at her. I am from Area 9 Grain. My name is Cold. Was the message that the girl was sending. Cynthia smiled even wider as she took the girls hands into her own.

"You can't talk? How cool! I mean not for you, but I can sign, yay!! This boy I know back home is deaf, and he taught me how to sign, he is really sweet. I even promised him my house if I am going to die, It only seemed right, I mean he has threee siblings and his parents, so I figured they could use some extra space, seemed like the nice thing to do." She said, and released the girls hand's, and began to play with her own. "So, Cold, hun? That is a cool name I guess, my last name is Black, so I guess we are even with the names."

She had learned to sign beack when she met him, only a child, and a deaf one at that, working wiht high power cables. She had saved him from being electocuted three times before she got the idea to see what was up. Only then did she see how bad his family had it. They were barely surviving, and he had entered his name six times and he was only twelve, it shocked here. So after a while, after last years hunger games, she made friends with him and he taught her how to sign, as it was the only way she could communicate with him. The next year, when she entered her names 150 times, she gave twelve of them tto his family, so they wouldn't have to enter so many times, and they were the only ones to say goodbye to her, and she was happy they would survive another year.

COming back to reality, she looked at the girl, "So, if you win, will you request a voice box? I am sure with all the capital's technology they could replace it, hell they could give you a choice most likely." She paused for a moment before starting again, "In all honesty, I don't think I have too great of a chance, but I am good with a weapon, so maybe, but if I fail, I hope you will win." She chuckled a little bit before smiling at her, and gave her a chance to respond.
