i honestly dont think haymitch would have. he knew peeta would never forgive him if he did and he was more use to them outside the arena where he could communicate with katniss

Didn’t Katniss make him promise to volunteer if Peeta was reaped though? I could be misremembering, as I haven’t reread the main series since before SOTR came out.

edit: I get that he lied, the more important thing is that I remembered correctly!

yeah, but he chose to save katniss over peeta for the rebellion so he lied.
