Katya grinned. "Excellent. Well, as you probably, saw, she's gotten a lot of sponsors gifts lately, and she could really use a backpack to carry it all in," she suggested, leaning in closer. "It's no lie to say she's a strong competitor. Everybody else has staked their claim with items, but yours could be the one that ties them all together. It isn't easy lugging around all those heavy, awkward supplies. Must be torture. I really think a backpack will put her over the edge, don't you?" Katya extended her hand to shake Karma's. "I'm Phoenix, by the way. But since we're getting along so well, you may call me Katya if you wish," she said charmingly, dipping her head in respect.
