Two Careers are better than one, and two Careers who know each other as well as Finnick and Annie are even better. It takes a moment for her to recognize him, to reach past the immediate fear of potential confrontation to know it's him. He hates seeing her scared, hates it most when it's him she's scared of, but she finally looks at him and realizes who it is.

"Annie! Annie, are you okay?"

He hasn't seen her since the Reaping. Since Mags stepped forward to protect her.

Since he'd heard her screaming and begging for help in the arena.

"I thought ..."

He doesn't finish the sentence. He can't say it. He'd said it in the arena, for the whole of Panem to see. He'd thought they'd hurt her. To get at him.

Instead, he holds out his arms to hug her, if she wants it.
