Finnick suppresses a smile as Johanna purposefully goads Katniss. It is far too easy in many ways -- which is probably why he needed a bracelet just to prove that he could be trusted.
Still, probably not the best time for Katniss and Johanna to decide to get into a fight; that's something he has little interesting in seeing, because he suspects it would be the most violent thing he's ever seen and wouldn't end well for him. (And it doesn't help that Katniss' openly rebellious talk still sets him a bit on edge. There's no doubt that if they're in the arena, they've been found out by now. They've all been far too obvious. But he'd prefer to play the part a bit longer, until they have a better idea of where they are.)
"Ladies," he says, all bright smile and charm that would work on almost every other person except, he thinks, for the two women he's actually with. He rests a hand on each of their arms as he guides them forward. "Why don't we sort out where we are and leave the blood baths for later?"
