"Nice try, though it gives me even more motivation to try and win the next Arena, or at least get Clementine to win somehow," Phil remarked, "Pace yourself, okay? At least one of us has to be on their best for when the, uh, paparazzi come in." He was hoping there wouldn't be any questions about his outing, just stick to the Arena and prying questions about his past. At this point, Gray felt more comfortable about how he knew things like decomposition rates.

"I just don't want him to burn out. He really seemed to care about District 6 as you do." That was a comment on the level of commitment Gray saw, and by the way Linden spoke. "Though it probably helps he's a Capitolite, he gets a pass with the outfits."

Wait.

"How much of your Tributes do you know about?" Yeah, there might be some inner District mutiny to add to the whole "District 6 is currently a mess" mill. Phil could at least give Linden the head's up that if he ran into Dandy in the Arena.
