The trainer smiled, assessment day was always her favorite time. Here she got to see what each runner had up their sleeve, the girl before her did have some potential. However, she still needed to prove it. The Trainer smiles crossing her arms as she walks up to the girl. "A griever has large canine teeth. What type of food would you give it in order to first gain its trust?"

This station was one that I assumed would be a bit more challenging, but I didn't want to let that overwhelm me. I was instructed to tell the trainer what type of food one would give to a canine griever to gain its trust.

"Meat," I told her.

A smirk slips across the trainer's face, how marvelous of an answer. Suddenly she spins snapping her fingers. A rowdy griever on a chain is brought to her snarling and hissing. "Describe how you would attempt to calm down this griever if they were trapped like this in the Maze. Feel free to attempt a demonstration if you wish. Note it is a genetic mix of snake and hyena."

As the griever was brought before me for the second question, I was a tad nervous. I was told that it was a hybrid of a snake and a hyena, and that I was to attempt to calm it down. I had to think quickly, though, as I knew that if this were a real situation, my time would be limited. I was intelligent when it came to school smarts, meaning I had to use my logic here, too.

"I'd crouch down a little bit, but not quite to eye level with it, as I'd still want to be as safe as possible, yet make it not feel as threatened," I told her. "Then, I'd try to speak kindly to it," I continued, now demonstrating what I had said.

"It's okay, I can help you. You'll be okay," I told it.
