"Hm." Finnick nods. To him, it doesn't sound like the boy is looking on the bright side of a bad situation but rather is naive or lives in a very different world from Finnick's. He also generally cringes when people call themselves heroes or have other names for their own altruistic tendencies. In Finnick's mind, helping others survive is just part of living in a cruel world, more of a grim duty than anything moralistic or positive. But Finnick is very cynical.

"That's good that you protect people. That's important."

Finnick is sincere about that. He's always tried to protect others.
