Katniss was surprised, but grateful that Peeta zeroed in on Gale. She still wanted to pick the others brain, but having him so close helped. They had a silent language, and she knew Gale would do his best to clue her in. Hopefully she could pass it on to Peeta.

This meeting was long. Intense. A lot of it, she could tell, was review for their benefits but...however long they had been out of the loop had been long enough for the festering misery of Panem to break into war. Simple and at the same time deeply complicated.
