[Maybe Steve's problem is that he doesn't ever plan to win. He rather help people who deserve to win and get out of this situation do so. He can take this, dying doesn't bother him, leaving people behind does. It would be torture to be out of the arena and watch.]

I met him last arena, during that first hot spell, he asked if I'd look for you. Seems I found you in the wrong arena. [His tone is wry, he can't help but find some amusement from that.]
