Anyone else and I could have argued against it. I could have argued which life was the one worth saving. But between us Prim is truly the innocent. She's the one Katniss volunteered for to save. I meet her eyes and see the desperation in them. My hand moves to curl against her neck and her hair. "I promise."
There's honesty in my eyes, but also pain. This is a promise I'll keep no matter what, even if it kills me to make it. Because I know that without Prim a part of Katniss would die too. "No matter what. If it's you or her, I promise you. I'll protect her."
