Can you really blame them for that? Who expects a contestant in a sports competition to take a hostage outside of the arena.

Neither Flare's intent, her ability to burrow hair through solid walls (in the arena it was only packed sand) or the ability to extend it so far are things you can realistically expect Bisca and Alzack to anticipate.

But their child being hurt or killed in the middle of a freakin' warzone is very easy to anticipate.
