Eliot staggered slightly as he moved toward the knife. He hadn't thought much of the knife wound Howard had given him at first but it had only been a few minutes and he was already feeling the blood loss. The harpoon was growing heavier than it should be. He let it go. He just couldn't carry it anymore. If he could get to the knife, he'd take that and find somewhere to patch up his side. Hopefully Lindsey had been able to get a bag and another weapon.

The scientist looks up sharply at the out of place sound and then back at Katurian, where his eyes catch the movement at the Cornucopia behind the man. They're the movements of a wounded animal.

"Good." He says with a grin, as if Katurian were a dog to be praised. He doesn't recognize Eliot yet, between the distance and the parka obscuring the man's face. But a kill's a kill for him. Revenge is just icing on the cake.

Harpoon in a solid grip, he moves past Katurian and back towards the Cornucopia, like a shark that's been attracted to the scent of blood.

Katurian turned as Grey passed him, and then-- and then he followed, his legs taking him where his mind could not. He told himself he was doing this to get home again. He told himself he was doing this to save his brother.

The sound of footsteps in the snow likely alerts Eliot to their approach, but then Grey isn't really aiming for stealth. Not now, not this time. There's simply no need.

"You seem to be having a bit of trouble." He notes, once he's close enough to be heard. The grin beneath those dark, black glasses they've been afforded would imply that he isn't here to be Eliot's savior.

Eliot looks up at the two men. Oh, damn it. This is the last thing he needs right now. He straightens, ignoring the pull at the wound and the way his head spins. "What do ya want, Grey?"

[downbeat]

Grey. Like a raining sky. Like dirty ice.

Katurian files away the name of his new partner, standing behind him like a spector or a shadow. He tries to find it comical, how Eliot asked what they wanted when it's so obvious what's going to happen next, but he can only feel nausea pulling at his stomach. Doubt.

[greymatter]

Oh. Oh it's you. What a wonderful happenstance.

The scientist snickers, stopping a couple of feet from the injured man. "What ever could I want here within the confines of a death match?"

[retrieverchef]

Eliot rolls his eyes slightly. "So we're doin' this again. Let me know if you're ever interested in a fair fight."

Yeah, he knows he's probably not making it out of this fight without help. And even then, it'll take a lot of luck. Doesn't mean he's just going to roll over.

[greymatter]

He laughs coldly. "Yes, I'll be sure to."

Without warning, he's flipped the harpoon in hand around so that the blunt end is facing out and swung it sharply for the wound in Eliot's side.

Chris ran towards them, he remembered one of the trio. The guy wasn't that bad and deserved at least a fighting chance.

He tried tackling Grey to hopefully give Eliot a few seconds.

Eliot tried to dodge the harpoon but couldn't move fast enough. He grunted as it not only hit the wound but drove the breath from his lungs, stumbling into the approaching Tribute.
