Bucky’s answer actually takes him by surprise. He wouldn’t have said it before, but Sam didn’t expect his name to be on that list. A tight spiral of affection that Sam doesn’t entirely know what to do with settles in, as it starts to occur to him that maybe he’s somewhere near as important to Bucky as Bucky is to him.

But he doesn’t know how to answer that. He agrees about Aang, but he doesn’t know how he’s going to convince 13 that they should take a kid over some of the other Tributes. And he can’t think of anything to say about himself. For one, he’d promised Kurloz that he wouldn’t follow Steve to 13, that he’d stay where he was needed. For another, he’s maybe still a little caught up in trying not to say something about how much he appreciates being on there.

Jet, though. Jet he’d already been thinking about, and with Bucky he has no qualms about telling the truth.

“I don’t want Jet here either. But when he comes back from the arena, he…” Sam hesitates for a moment, trying to put all this to words. “Isn’t going to be in the best state of mind. I think he might be looking for a lot of revenge against the Capitol, and I think he might not worry so much about whether he comes out of it okay or not. I’m worried about sending him to thirteen like that, I know they’ll take advantage of it.”
