"I never said that, I meant that District 6 would get more water supplies and get Clem out of the Arena," The way Phil rubbed the back of his neck showed he was being honest about that. "I wouldn't be that great, trust me. With the whole, uh, failing at my original job." And getting those kids and a few guards killed in his mistakes.
That is enough for Linden to suffer through and Gray simply grabs (and thanks the Avox) a bottle of beer for the man to enjoy. "Maybe he's in trouble with someone, I don't want him to go and be replaced with someone else." A pencil pusher or something like that. "And I figured after that little feathery number."
To Linden's gaze, Phil took another shot, and whispered to his Mentor in a rather cool and unlike his usual self, "If I run into Dandy Mott, I'll pull the same stunt Nick did on Beth. On purpose." So maybe his plan to get Dandy into the Capitol would be delayed. "Especially if he harms a child." That should be hint enough.
