One, two, three! Punch, punch, punch! Andy thought to himself as he delivered one punch after another forcefully into the dummy that was in front of him. He was doing quite a good job, and even had to stand the dummy back up a few times after delivering too much force with a punch or a kick. Very intently concentrating on what he was doing, he hadn't even been paying attention to what other tributes were doing in that moment. He was sure that there were others nearby, probably either watching or doing similar things themselves. He also knew that there were surely tributes practicing different skills at other stations as well. It took quite a long time for Andy finally feel that he should take a break from his practicing. Being tired wasn't the reason he had decided to cease training, either. Instead, the blood that had begun to flow heavily from his knuckles was his indicator to stop. He walked away from the dummy that he had been practicing on and decided to observe what others were doing with their time that they were training. One tribute was over at the fire making station, trying very hard, and seemingly doing very well. He would certainly be going over there at some point to practice those skills himself. He also knew that there were some other stations he was rather determined to try, but was going to wait for a little bit before he decided to do so, due to the state of his bloody fists at this point. When Andy finally decided that he was going to try to make conversation with someone, he saw someone that he, in all honesty, had avoided talking to. He wasn't sure why he had avoided this boy at first, either. Perhaps Andy was simply intimidated. When it came to tributes older than him, or who at least appeared to be older than him, Andy steered clear, not wanting to get on their bad side and end up making them want to kill him even more than they already may have wanted to. Knowing that if he made a strong tribute angry, he was likely to be killed by them rather quickly in the arena, he tried his best to be polite to all of the other tributes, even if he didn't want to be. Approaching this boy, who he knew was Sol Shim from District Five, Andesite decided that he may as well try to make friends if nothing else. After all, if he was friends with someone in the arena, rather than the enemies that he feared, perhaps they'd be less inclined to kill him right away. Speaking up, Andy decided to say hello. "Hey, what's up? I'm Andy." he said, tapping the guy on the shoulder as he approached him. He'll probably be like all the others, asking what the heck I want... Then another thought crossed his mind. Wait, isn't this the guy who decided to bring a flower crown as his token? Flower boy can't be that bad. Andy then awaited the response from who he would likely be thinking of as flower boy from now on.

Sol had decided to wear his token today. It was something that he's been considering for a while, but he never really found a time where he felt like wearing it. Today had been an exception from that thought, for he would wear it. Today was a day he woke up thinking about Luna, thinking about those days that they spent together. The crown was something that they had made one day. They had gone on a walk and they found an older lady, in her mid 40's who was selling flowers. The two had found it upon themselves to buy it and go off to do their own thing with them. Luna came up with the idea of making the crowns and that's what they did.

The two would intertwine the flowers with each other, making it so they would be able to place a crown made of flowers onto each other's heads and have it fit just right. Even though they both knew that they were making flower crowns for each other, they had their backs against each other so they wouldn't be tempted to see what the other was making for them. They wanted a surprise, and a surprise they'd make for each other. He had used roses, white ones and pink ones. The occasional red rose dotted in there. The male knew that she didn't like the colors a whole lot, but he knew that she'd love the effort.

The female didn't really appreciate the stereotypical "girly" things, however she didn't mind if she were treated with such things. She knew that people would have taken time on the item made for her and that was enough for him. They spent the day talking and making the crowns together, unaware of what the other was making for them. A small smile was placed on his face, though it got replaced with focus as he felt the axe in his hand.

Gripping it, he had thrown it at the target after running through the instructions that had flowed through his mind that were given by the trainer of the station. It landed with a small thud on the target on the middle ring.

He shrugged, looking at it for a slight while before starting to turn around. Being tapped on the shoulder, Sol would jump slightly in surprise as the other started talking to him casually. "Hey, what's up? I'm Andy." He nodded, looking down at the male who was shorter than he like most of the tributes and recognized him being from Astrid's district.

"Uh, hi?" The male wasn't quite sure what to say, and this definitely was a dumb response for him to give as he rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably.
