Watch out for minor earthquakes.]

... from what I've heard so far? From what I've seen so far?

Lives are gonna get thrown away. Again. And again. And again. Some willing, some not. I don't know what we'll do in the games--hell, I sure as hell hope we still have a moral standing after a few. But I won't let what happened to Lacerta happen to my team. I can't.

Just so you know. 'Cause, I mean... it's not that I don't appreciate the help...

...but you and yours come first. I can understand that.

It's not that I'd expect you to make that kind of sacrifice for me and mine, or for anyone. That's not what I meant. We don't expect a return on our actions, like some kind of banker, charging interest on generosity. Advice and information are some of the few things we can share freely.

And maybe, in the Games when the only choice we're given is who to save and who to condemn, you'll remember the people that offered you an outstretched hand kindly. And maybe you won't. It's a risk we thinking beings take every time we reach out to something new, that they'll reject us or turn against us. But either way, the people who've helped you will know they tried to do something worthwhile for others, and be able to face themselves that much more easily.
