Glancing to the side however, he noted Damon pointing a arrow at him. Giving what could only be a flirtatious wink, the Adder whistled low as a second woman walked up along with the 'traitorous' Speedster. [color=Olive]"Seems I'm out numbered, here."[/color] Moving from his position he stood slowly. Keeping his hands from his sides and obvious potential weapons. Casting a charming smile at Nina, he already determined Pietro wasn't about to bat for the same team. Not to mention the wild woman was not about to fall for infatuation. He smoothed the business suit that had become ruffled in their scuffle. Slowly though, and it was as much to assure them he was not reaching for a weapon as to flaunt himself. [color=Olive]"Now if we could perhaps come to an agreement? I need information- and not on your little alliance or what not. I'm looking for a girl- a child."[/color] Richard ran a hand through his short black hair, looking amiable. Though he could not hide the sorrowful flicker in his snake colored eyes. [color=Olive]"Family."[/color] He knew enough about the X-men that they loved second chances- heck Pietro proved that. But they also loved bonds with other people, not that the Brotherhood discouraged that. The goal was merely more important than the people some times. But his goal was a person. If the Brotherhood got in the way... He gave a charming smile to his not-so-enemies. The shifter slowly took a step back, standing herself as the man did. Well dressed, she had not noticed this before. Running a hand along the panther's head, she felt her legs tense to spring forward. If this man made the wrong move, he'd have two large cats upon him. Beasts of the jungle. He was smiling a lot, something she was not sure of. There was no malice not that she sensed from him. Oh, she understood malice- the desire to hunt and hurt. Hunters who had hunted her held that in their eyes. The people who had turned away when she seldom walked among the humans. Though the teen noted that this Brotherhood man took several steps back and away from them. A retreat? That did not match his cocky attitude. But it did match someone trying to not anger a predator further. Wise she noted, he was outnumbered. As for what he wanted. He was looking for someone? Wasn't everyone looking for something. For herself it was solitude, for Allison it was people. Or as so far as she understood the girl. Though if he was merely looking for a person... What harm could come from giving him that tidbit of information? One person verses the thousands that this plague would effect? It was fair enough from her point of view. Richard paused in fixing a cuff link. Each of his movements slow and articulated. He was enjoying the show he was putting on. Though to be fair, it was only partly so. He didn't want to have a arrow stuck someone place painful. While his healing factor was good, he was not keen on adding more pain than necessary. Though he doubted it would be worse than loosing and regrowing his arm. That had been invigorating. [color=Olive]"Oh, and where are my manners! My apologies Ladies, Handsome Archer, Pietro-. Good luck with that human you've been so set on seeing, by the way."[/color] He gave the speedster a conspiratorial smile between men. Honestly he wouldn't fault the man for going for the human, if he found something he liked enough to do so then it must be something. Everyone had something. [color=Olive]"Richard Laine at your service. You can check your data bases, I'm probably on there."[/color] The Adder chuckled lightly. It wouldn't do him any good to lie. When his healing factor came in he basically went off the grid. So his name- while under military- would most likely be mentioned as MIA. He had pretty much shot out of the hospital and not completely with a 'by your leave' leave.
