[Finnick flicks the communicator on and turns it to video. He uses it to capture the Welcomer’s retreating back before he swings it around to himself. Blue eyes look out of a grimy face and he’s primed for combat

[ Katniss recognises the voice first, and then the face, bringing the strange communicator up to get a closer look.

A part of her is relieved to see someone familiar, but she's also afraid that it might mean something bad if someone from the Capitol is here. ]

I know you. You're Finnick Odair. You won the Games all those years ago.

Katniss, less of all those years ago, I'm still very handsome. [Finnick's voice is filled with a relief and then he looks more closely at her.]

Did the Capitol give you a whole body lift to make you look younger.

Younger? [ She glances down at herself, not vainly, but baffled, creases etching themselves into her forehead in a way that no teenager should possess. ] And you - you know my name?

[ None of this makes sense. She never quite made it to the Capitol never mind the arena, and she finds it difficult to think that he would remember her name from the reaping alone. ] This is the Capitol playing some sort of trick, isn't it?

Katniss [he frowns] What is the last thing you remember?

The Capitol is definitely playing a cruel trick on one of us.

Being on a train from the districts, pulling up in the Capitol. But when I stepped off, it-- You wouldn't believe me. [ And she doesn't know if she should trust him. ]

What's that supposed to mean? [ Does he know something? She's just going to stare warily. ]

You found yourself somewhere completely different?

Katniss [He looks straight into her eyes] Either the Capitol has taken all your memories away or they made me dream knowing you.
