Eighth Catch -Video- [Filtered from Katniss, Annie and Rue]

[Instead of the normal happy go lucky Finnick, the device activates to a more somber one. He is fiddling with a piece of cloth that looks so wrinkled he must have used it for knot tying practice. His eyes have a far away look before he shakes his head, forcing himself to come out of what he was trying to say. He gives a slight uneasy smile. There is a reason that this is filtered from Katniss and Annie particularly.]

So. I have a really good question for you all today.

Let me start off by saying that there are several really hard headed girls from my world here. I need some advice on how to deal with a problem where talking doesn't seem to work with either of them.

[He sits back and pinches the bridge of his nose.]

One girl is too eager to fight, and the other wants me to stay out of the fighting. But, I can't, and I can't communicate that to her. I'm going to do what I can to stay safe, but it's not something that we can see eye to eye on.

How do you deal with that? This is one of the hardest situations I think I've faced. Ever.

[And that's saying something since he's from such a messed up world.]

[ That makes Peeta pause for a moment, and then he shakes his head again ]

And that's part of the problem. You keep trying to call the all the shots. You're no different than the rest of us, Finnick.

I feel responsible for everyone. Katniss should rest while she's here Peeta, and she is never going to do that if she keeps on like she has.

Well, you're not responsible for everyone. We've all been through the same things, Finnick. And we should all rest while we're here because we've all been through a lot, but you know as well as I do that that's not going to happen, because I'm sure none of us want to sit back and let this place go to hell. Not as long as there's a chance at a somewhat normal life here.

You know that if you push Katniss to stay out of the fighting, she's just going to push back, even harder. Instead of fighting with her about sitting this out, why don't you just go out there with her and watch her back?

Okay. Fine, I can do that, but you have to promise me that you will look after Rue and Annie. Katniss doesn't want you to fight, and I can understand why. But, if she does then I guess you have a right to as well.

[He's not in the best mood about this, he's worried and it shows.]

For me to fight, doesn't matter as much as her fighting.
