Hibiki listened to the words of the other as he came out. He tilted his head a bit, curious as to what brought up all these words and feelings the other spoke about. He watched him rush off once more however, leaving him to his thoughts. Bastien was scanning the brush. He had meant what he said. He did not care if people believed him, trusted him or even liked him.
Due to points in the past, Ryker and Alpha had labled him the 'black sheep' per say. Niether of them knew though, and at times it was a pain in the ass not to just be able to say it. Not that it should change everything. If they were so bent as hell on thinking he was out to slit their throats in the night, they could damn well keep believing that. His eyes moved to the other as he came up.
What, was he following him now like a lost puppy? He sighed, looking at his work as the other spoke about his intentions yet again. He then spoke of partnership. It almost made Bastien laugh, the man who had just threatened to kill him moments ago was now suggesting partnership. He had told the other that he needed to help or keep out of the way. He was not so low a man to push apart the good of the world for foolish personal feelings.
He did not take the hand, but nodded. "The fire will attract the attention of the..lesser intellegant minds flying above us" he said. It was true, most birds and such were attracted to the shiny and the colorful. The fire would pull their attention to an area apart from where the base was. "If you want to be of use, wait till the mass gets close enough...then raise the fire" he said, the other should get the hint. If he began moving around the fire, he could create a lift that would pull the fire up into the air like a vortex and fry all of them at once. That would only leave her then.
