svet had always had an axe in her hand when she was back home. it was the backbone of seven after all. the lumber mills had always kept a healthy stock of them, but svet did not have access to those, considered the nicer axes.
to be quite honest, svet hated those axes anyway.
the rougher the handle, the more grip and control she felt like she had. when it came to an axe, the more control you had, the better the swing. sure, she might get a splinter from the hilt, but at least she knew that her swing would have force behind it.
an axe was not the only weapon though that she had been proficient in.
knives had been scattered all along the table in front of her. there had been a couple tributes looking at them, but only one other had caught her eye. the boy from two had one in his hands quicker than she could keep up, and then all of the sudden, he was slicing through dummies like they were butter.
was she surprised? no. not at all. sure, two was known now as the shit cleaners, but that did not mean that there still werent careers amongst the turds. svet enjoyed the show, as superficial as she thought it was. she could tell that he knew exactly where to strike, which was important when it came to getting the kill.
did he know how to carve his prey though?
svet did not know how to disembowel a human to be clear. however, an animal? that was no issue for her. she knew exactly where to cut in order to harvest every piece that an animal could realistically give to her. living off the land and feeding off the animals would give her that knowledge. "fancy knife work you got there." she said to him as he stepped off the training field. she grabbed the hunting knife off the table, holding it tightly in her hand as she used the blade to tuck part of her hair back. "do you know how to reap the rewards after though?" svet had pointed to the mutt tamer station after giving a light wink to the boy from two.
she was gonna make it known that she was everything everyone thought she was.
and more.
