A huge alliance definitely wasn't good news to Ethereal. No, she wouldn't be joining. The Gamemakers would probably stir something into the pit of twenty-four tributes to make the alliance expire. A fight to the death would probably be part of the giant equation, and the District Three girl wanted nothing to do with it. Ethereal glanced over to peek at his leaf pattern which was quite beginner-level, but it was quite cute to see him trying. Blushing very lightly, she turned back to her mixture of sandy yellow and a paler tan, mixing them together carefully.
Ethereal heard the trailing off in his voice as he introduced the alliance and paused. Would it benefit her? Not likely. "I don't think I'll be joining," she replied, trying to sound at least a bit less bitter as she answered. Her mood definitely hadn't left her. "It's a giant risk to take." Swirling her finger lightly in the mixture, she wondered where she'd find a sandy yellow other than sand itself in the Games to create the mixture of colors resembling sand.
