It's not the first unusual accent she's heard here. Nor is this woman necessarily the most exotic looking, here or even back home in Panem. The pale skin and white hair remind her a little of some of the Capitol fashion choices, albeit perhaps simpler and starker than she's used to. For a moment, she wonders what Effie would think of it.

But that moment quickly passes as she reminds herself she's not in Panem right now. Not in District 12 or anywhere else. This place is a mystery and a danger, this woman as well.

It's clear, though, how out of place Katniss is here. There's nothing she can do to mask or disguise this fact. Even if she tried, she'd make a mess of it. So, she nods. She's new. She's very new.
