Daniel just returned the look levelly, trying his best to ignore the chill that might as well be coming off the other man. Maybe it was playing their games on some level, but he wasn't of the mind to sit there and offer up a free target. Granted, they could all avoid this if every Tribute sat down and refused to fight. Non-violent protest. No one got hurt and the Capitol would have to end the game.

He'd find the honor part hard to swallow, but Daniel straightened up at the mention of the history behind them. "That could be a really useful thing to be aware of though - the context, what might have brought the Games about, if you read between the lines." Granted, it wouldn't keep you alive. "And why do you hope that?"

Personally he would prefer a desert, harsh winds, ruins, something he knew his way around best.
