It was weird to wake up alive again, feeling his arm back, and yet not feeling anything but annoyance. Especially as he had not accomplished what he had set out to do. And he had been taken out by Sigma. But Sigma also died, so it was a comfort. A small one.

Quickly he turned on the television, breathing a long sigh of relief as he saw that Lottie was alive. For now. Maybe she could find others. He could send her supplies. Somehow.

With that, he stood up and walked out of his room. Perhaps he could find Lottie's mentors, convince them to get sponsors for her. That would at least he helpful. Then, he had to figure out what else he could do. There was the girl with the long hair, that he could try and help as well...

"...Because." It was a difficult answer. "I know it sounds weird coming from me, all things considered, but...the truth is, my general code is that killing should be a last resort. Be it to protect someone, or out of self-defense. It wouldn't feel right on my conscience if I just sought him out and provoked a fight out of some sense of pettiness or superiority. I'd...just be on his level, going down a road best not traveled."

Despite his own desire to break out and just kill everything and everyone in the Capitol who had hurt the Tributes. Despite his own worry and fear about his memories and the blood already on his hands.

She merely blinked, nodding faint acknowledgement of his explanation. At least he was retaining his humanity, so to speak, in a way that she perhaps hadn't. Ariadne could only imagine that had she been in the Arena as many times as he had now, she might have been more inclined to kill off the other Tributes without fear, rather than with the hesitation that she'd presented during her last Arena.

"All right. I'll let you gauge it for yourself. I think that taking him out early might save you the trouble, but in the end, it's still up to you."

"Fair enough." Don nodded. Well, he tried at least. "So...what else have you been up to? Any new Sponsors that have been piquing your interest?"

"None really. They all seem the same, once you talk to them long enough." She frowned a little. "Some are worse than others, but as long as they're willing to help out my Tributes, I suppose it could be worse."
