It was difficult to decide what to look at - Neffa couldn't follow that many gazes at once, and when the second pair of hands began to move he lurched back against the wall, setting the cans to rattling against each other. This wasn't-- they'd told him there would be monsters in the Arena, creations of the Capitol, but then why did it speak? (And unarmed, was that supposed to be some kind of joke, was something with enough limbs to hold you down, strangle you, and beat you senseless at the same time really allowed to qualify itself as unarmed?)
"Let me pass," he said, and he tried his damnedest to make it sound like a threat and not a plea and did not succeed. "Let me out of here unharmed or-- or I swear--"
Like hell was he turning his back on it long enough to run, whatever it claimed its intentions to be.
