[HELLO, EVERYONE. Nice and trauma-filled from that horrible vacation?

Haymitch isn't here to make it better.]

Judging by all the unhappy faces, I take it didn't go well down there. Maybe next time you'll take a lesson from those of us who were smart enough to stay behind. Might not be the best place, but at least we know the ship wants to kill us all. [Snicker.

Annnd there's a pause, because while he knows Peeta's gone, because he hasn't checked in, and that stings after losing Katniss, (and with Finnick and Annie in bad shape) shock of shocks, he has other people he cares about.]

Anyone happen to notice a little girl tagging along down there? Goes by Mattie Ross. She'd be the one with braids, preaching justice to the locals and making a damned fool of herself. Hard to miss her.

[AND NOW HAYMITCH GETS TO BE AWKWARD.]

Don't know which one of you yanked Annie Cresta out of all that, but it's appreciated. Finnick's in no state to thank you, himself, so I'll save him the trouble.

All right, talk. I know at least one of you went down there and both of you can't be in as bad a shape as the rest of them. How bad was it?

They knew there was a chance it'd be dangerous. They'd be fools to think otherwise.

Even if that was true, it doesn't mean what happened to them was okay, or that anyone should joke about it!

Can't say I was joking.

You laughed!

Something wrong with laughing at a bleak situation? It's as bleak for me as it is for them.

Just as bleak? Nothing bad happened to you!

[way to go ahiru]

[Haymitch doesn't speak for a minute, because he's debating between laughing or hanging up the phone. He eventually decides on neither and just gives her a sort of half-snarling bit of mocking sarcasm.]

Oh yeah, I've managed quite well for myself for a bitter, old drunk.
