"You can stay," Alex ground out, his jaw clenched tight against the pain. "Just don't get yourself killed on my account."
Truthfully, he did rather want someone there when he died. He wasn't too keen on dying all alone, like he had in his second arena (well, technically not alone, but he might as well have been). But it someone came up and offed this guy while he was watching Alex die, he'd feel a little bad.
In the back of his mind, he cursed the Capitol scientist who came up with this poison. SCORPIA's cyanide nanoshells would have killed him by now, probably with less pain. It was like the pain from every concussion, every broken bone, every fight he'd ever been in was rushing back. As the back of his shoulders started to scream from the burns in Kenya, he looked up at the other guy. "What's your name?"
