Firo'll do his best to cooperate and keep his confused outbursts in private. He'd pitch the idea of comparing some stuff to his Family's rackets like protection (just like people back home pay the Camorra for protection, the Districts pay up to the Capitol). While that might have a negative connotation for the average joe where he's from, it's actually not something all that bad in his mind and he'd do his best to pitch it that way. He's not going to be wild about this, but he's up for faking it and that kind of view is what would make it easier to swallow.
