"Let's keep moving about," Finnick agrees. He doesn't know if that will necessarily make them safer. This is a difficult arena. They are almost always exposed in some way. There are tons of hiding places. But it is a good idea for them to have a better idea of the layout of the hotel and to see if there are any weapons.
Finnick couldn't help but laugh when Katniss asked how the Capitol was trying to kill them.
"Sweetheart" he drawls. "They want us to kill each other. It's less messy that way for them." Snow didn't mind getting his hands dirty, but he preferred to obscure it as much as possible. Why get the blame for massacring some victors when they would readily do it themselves? He can only imagine how the Capitol would react if Katniss and Johanna got into a fight right off the bat.
