To his relief, the new arrival went after his attacker. But Alex didn't drop his guard and quickly grabbed up the stone knife. With the state his head was in right now, he'd just get in the way if he tried to intervene, and he really didn't want to anyway. While he wasn't out for blood, he didn't have an issue with the other tributes offing each other, just as long as they didn't try to kill him.

He had no way of knowing if he was going to be next though, and he fought against the pain in his head as he climbed to his feet.
