When he'd met Katniss here before, it had been clear that she knew him, to some extent. He's learned enough from her and Peeta and especially Johanna, to realize that what she remembers from Panem might not have happened before he found himself here, however that's supposed to work.

His green eyes study her. The blue-green version of the uniforms everyone's wearing when they arrive here. Still tidy enough that she clearly hasn't been out in the woods for days, like he and Annie had when they'd found themselves in that first version of this place. Not as much wariness as he'd expect from her, but still plenty. She's a victor, and she'd been skeptical enough as a tribute.

"If anybody knows, they're not saying," he says, his head tilting a little to one side in curiosity. The question suggests that she doesn't remember being here before, like Johanna had. Katniss has been gone a lot longer, though, and some people who disappear and return months later don't remember being here. There's still so much they don't know about this place.

"Some place we've been stuck, but nobody's trying to kill each other."

And Snow doesn't seem to be directly interfering in their lives, though he, of course, can't say that.
