It made sense that the other competitors wouldn't want to be too forthcoming; after all, she might be facing them in the arena. And while she made some small talk she made sure to play her cards close to her chest as well...she couldn't afford to be giving up any advantage at all. So really wasn't trained to fight in a flashy matter though...that was a big concern. She found herself pacing a bit once she was done talking, still waiting for things to start. It wasn't enough to fight out there...she had to make it look good. And no magic, that was important to note. She could fight without her magic so that wasn't a major concern, but she couldn't afford to fall back on all her skills. She had to be careful.<br/><br/>Her train of thought was interrupted by the doors opening to allow the fighters to finally start entering. While she had never fought under these circumstances some of her companions in the past had...there were some grizzled guards during training who had not started out in the church, and they weren't shy about discussing their exploits, both in battle and outside of it. Another choice for her though...she could go out to what was probably going to be an easy fight, or wait and try and make it a much bigger spectacle. Her instincts told her to try and keep things easy, but...her encounter with her host as well as Frisko reminded her they were both expecting her to make it look good out there. And who knows if the host of the games might try another stunt if she wasn't living up to expectations? Ironically the safer bet was to take the tougher fight, and Evelyn held back to be introduced in the second group...although she tried not to be quite the last one out if she could avoid it. She didn't want to tempt fate too much.
