Badje professed the readiness to speak as he stepped forward but Axena was shocked and confused at the same time. For some moment in her head, she forgot that she was operating under a new name and face. She already forgot that she had applied costumes on her face and that in the time that she would spend in the pit, she is not Axena but Millena. It took time before she could sink herself in the moment and that was when Badje's voice broke the silence that had ensued and he started talking in the way that he was known to talk.
"Axena? Yes, I have heard about her. How do you hear about her in here?" Badje asked.
