You realized something, as the fight died down and the shadow you were fighting sank down deeper into the lake: Finnagan almost died, and you weren't all too far behind. With the last swing that thing made at the two of you, you thought it was going to pull him in. You thought that he was going to be drowned right in front of you, and sure, you were prepared to see death at some point in the arena, but you didn't exactly have him at the top priority as to who it should be first.
You use what little energy you have at the moment to row away from where that shadow monster was, to a... less shadowy part of the lake, if there even was one. You look to your wounded ally and speak up.
"I'm sorry, Finn... can I call you Finn?" you start. "I wasn't nearly as useful as I should have been."
You weren't even sure if the thing was really 'dead', so you were keeping an eye out, just on the off chance it attempted to resurface, catch the two of you off-guard, and finish you both off. You knew the Capitol challenged its tributes, but usually it didn't seem like the mutts were this bad. Maybe that was just a trick of the television broadcast: making the tributes look weaker than they were.
You pick up your flower crown that had fallen to the bottom of the boat during the fight and place it back upon your head.
"I know you say you're able to take care of yourself, but let me know if... if you need anything." You say this and then start tending to your own wounds, glancing up every so often to make sure that Finn's okay, and that there's not another shadow creature lurking nearby.
