What was he supposed to say? 'No, I am not fine and I want to go home'? Or perhaps 'Compared to the past year, this is't so bad'? Then again, in the past year he hadn't been chucked into an arena with a bunch of strangers and told he has to kill them. So maybe the second statement wasn't that accurate.

"It's sort of like being on holiday, if you ignore the whole kill each other part. I could go for a bit more variety in the menu, but beggars can't be choosers."
