"Don't you go near my sister!" She growled, only getting more riled up. Cornering Katniss and pissing her off were not advisable things and hopefully people knew that now. As both females tussled around, Katniss found her patience wearing very thin as she looked at the angry victor. Katniss didn't want anyone else to die and she fed up with Snow pulling the strings and while she was glaring, she hope Johanna could still see the remorse in Katniss' eyes. Next Johanna mentioned that Prim's neck wouldn't be able to hold up against an attack. That made her blood boil and she had had enough as she swung her forehead down and headbutted the wild woman, feeling a sudden sharp spinning pain as she was sure the skin had broke for both of them. She hoped if she was in pain, Johanna was feeling it even worse. The woman did break free and used it to her advantage. Still disoriented and overwhelmed by white pain, Katniss felt the punch connect with her collar bone. Even though it had missed, it still hurt Katniss.

"Really?" Gale smiled to Prim. "Bring it on." He took the bait, never one to back down from a challenge. He was sure Yelven and Iva would also be able to keep up but he didn't want them to do too much on the first day and feel tired the following morning. He was sure skipping a day would them look bad. Gale began to stretch and knew he'd need to save time after running to stretch as well, just to make sure injuries and strain were prevented. The boy was soon done and he got up on the machine and began to jog, for now taking it slow. He looked at saw Yelven joining the spot next to him. He looked ahead and from where he was now, he could get a better look of what was going on with the fight. With nearly fifty people training and more than half stopping to see two girls go at it, Gale wasn't surprised that the view was still pretty much obscured. He hoped Prim would get a change to see what had happened when she talked to her sister later.

As the four began to jog and slowly work their way up to running, he felt a nice momentum that kept him steady. Whether they were going to run through a marsh or woods or a desert or snow, he was sure building up stamina and speed would be helpful. "Come on guys." He encouraged them to keep up and not slow down. "If you need to stop, go back to a slow jog, but don't stop completely, your body should stay in motion if possible." Gale advised as he kept going. Back home, he had plenty of practice weaving through trees while avoiding being found by wandering Peacekeepers. This wasn't a big deal for him but he needed the others to get used to being more physical for longer periods of time. "You never know how long you'll need to outrun someone in the Games, sometimes what's best for you it to be faster than the person next to you." It was a cold truth but still a truth nonetheless. 

A small trickle of blood could be felt going down Katniss' face but she could tell Johanna's forehead was also bleeding which made the pain worth it. Johanna seemed unfazed by the attack and went on to mention how Haymitch wouldn't always be around to defend her. Katniss felt her face turn even more red as she tightened her hold on the taunting temptress. "I don't need him looking out for me!" Katniss protested over the noise as she sat up and pulled her arm back, having had enough of this strenuous bullshit. Katniss then used her weight and landed two solid punches at her face, one hitting Johanna in the eye and the second one in the side of her cheek. As her arm moved back for a third, she felt two men yank her off of Johanna and Katniss out of instinct, began kicking her legs but stopped when she saw it was the officials. She caught her breathe as it was announced that fighting was prohibited and that training would end a half hour early.

When he heard the announcement and saw the crowd begin to thin out, he quickly stopped his part of the machine and ran over to see what had happened. He thought Johanna had gotten a pretty nasty hit but he then saw Katniss had been the one to end it. He let out a laugh and clapped his hands a few times. "Way to go!" He restrained calling her catnip and turned to motion Primrose over. Before he could say anything more, Katniss moved over to Johanna as the guards stayed beside them both, to be safe.

"Gave me hell." Katniss smirked and raised her hand to shake Johanna's hand.

"Someone has to but you gave it right back." Johanna just shrugged and instead slapping her hand as a makeshift high five to show a sigh of respect, or rather a truce. She was impressed but still pretty annoyed. She knew the scars on their forehead and bruises would heal up quick so she wasn't as mad as she would have been if they were in the Games themselves. She headed off with her district to go get cleaned up. Katniss watched her go and grinned, the adrenaline was still rushing through her as she jogged over to Haymitch before she talked to her sister and gale. 

"How was that?" Katniss smirked as she brought up a hand to wipe some of the blood off her face before it got in her eye. Her hand hurt but she thought a nice soak in the hot tub after dinner would do her some good.

Looking to Primrose as Katniss headed off to Haymitch, he shook his head, not sure what to make of whatever the hell just happened. He was glad Katniss got out of it alright. He wouldn't say unscathed per say but she was alright and he felt his worries subside as he saw the look on her face as she spoke to Haymitch. "I am ready to take a shower and get dinner." He stretched his arms above his head. Spotting Iva and Yelven leaving, he waved to them and put an arm around Prim so they could at least head up to their floor. It wasn't yet time for dinner, they had maybe an hour or so to kill but that meant they could get freshened up and unwind a little. The dark haired boy felt pretty good about how the first day had gone. In a sense, he was able to do some scouting as well as networking. He and Prim managed to catch the next elevator as it was pretty crowded. the got in with a few careers and the tension was easily felt. Thankfully they were off quick and the rest of the ride up was less awkward.

"You did good today." The boy said to Prim as they stepped off the elevator. "You should be proud."
