Roland's gone. Firo shouldn't be surprised considering what the man did. What would surprise him would be if he saw his friend any time soon.
From his own experience sabatoging their gracious hosts, Firo knows there's a chance Roland won't be killed--he and Eowyn were only tortured. But maybe the Capitol's stricter now that they're reeling from losses. Maybe Roland's already gotten two right in the back of his head.
Firo spends most of the time after the battle trying not to think of what could be happening to his friend right now.
So when he's walking the halls in their free time, he doesn't expect to see him right there, almost within reach.
Firo stops and blinks a few times to make sure it's real. He clears his throat and calls out to the guards, "Hey--I can take him from here."
People back home have always hated the way he speaks to others as equals, thinking of him as nothing more than a presumptuous brat. Guards and cops especially. And he knows the rules for talking to guards--namely to not--but he's too worried here to bother with them. Roland. He needs to get to him and talk to him. It looks too much like before, and he needs to make it stop.
