"...you died?" It's hard enough to wrap his mind around that fact, let alone that she seems so accepting of it. He's come so close to death so many times himself, and it was never exclusive to the rules of the arena. A no, an overt display of affection towards Annie, all of these things could so easily see him slain. Yet here he stands. Ten years of cheating death, while others around him weren't so lucky.
He's not sure what to say. Sorry, maybe, but that's a comfort usually saved for the loved ones of those that have died, not those that have actually breathed their last breath. She seems to have embraced it, anyway, and he's not sure it would do much good. "I'm glad you got a second chance. You mentioned a war?"
He can't help but think of the Dark Days. He can't help but think of what Katniss has told him comes next.
