"Honey, I think we're all past the point of 'basic needs'."

Henry smiled, another easy smile as the attractive blonde spoke, he moved closer into the bar, away from the exit, although while doing so, didn't responded further to the number of bodies around him, placing himself on the first bar stool he reached, Henry momentarily faced only the girl behind the bar, she'd just spoken Japanese, but that was evidently not her origin. As the smoke entered her lungs, 'Leech' could feel its affects taking root. He could have stopped himself, but he didn't, his own powers 'stealing' some of the affect, but also the curse. Maybe one day he'd tell people of the damage it could do them, but then, who'd ever believe him really?

"Hola, ojos fríos." His Spanish was awful, learned from decoding messages from Facist Spain, but he liked to think he could get his meaning across. As he momentarily dabbled in what he assumed, as an educated guess, was her primary tongue, he smirked, although this one was dangerous. A trickster, not a clown, and a joker could be any card.

"Hey, sweet cheeks, if you think you're above basic needs, well, someone's been letting you down." The near-laughing smirk was back as he turned on the stool to face the majority of the room once more, particularly the girl who's single line had stuck in his mind so. She was pretty, very much so, but if this was a room full of people like him, well, she could be highly dangerous as well. He bemoaned his own brain when that did little to kill any form of attraction. In fact, it probably made it worse. It had taken him a long time to get over a crushing fear of rejection in regards to women, and now his simple 'don't care how it goes' attitude practically required the wink he gave her, before focusing on Eric.

"Hmmm, you've shown me yours, does that mean I have to show you mine? That might get a little unpleasant for you all." Less light hearted, but still a jest. The idea still terrified Henry that at any moment a bullet could be put in his brain, and give a few minutes and he'd be right up again. That had been his limit so far, but he wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have one. The worst part was he felt it all, no reprieve for the Leech. Shaking his mind of such a serious thought, he continued to address the speaker. "Awfully convenient of the girl with her needs fulfilled, however badly, to think that they're not important. You want me to sell some medals? I'm sure then we can keep everyone dry for a while. That said, I'm sure we could sort something else out, that keeps us all fed, dry and watered."

After he finished speaking for the latest occasion, the smirk from his face dropped, his voice sounding far more business-like as he continued, "A very wise man once told me to never trust anyone who offers something for nothing. What I think we should be asking, is how are we going to help you? It's clear we're all willing, to some degree, to accept your help, we wouldn't be here, if someone's come all this way just to turn you down, they're both an idiot and lying to themselves. Xavier clearly has something we all want, be that fellow....'company' or whatever it is he's sold this to all of us." A very broad arm motion, motioning towards the whole bar, followed his statement, although it was clear he was including all those present, not just the surroundings, in the definition.

"You have us, now what do you want from us?"
