He snorts humorlessly. From his experience, intelligence did nothing to offset foolishness. One of the smartest people he knew was also consistently the most idiotic.
Although this was the first time he heard of him being a doctor. That explained some things. He seemed to have a disposition for running into those. It also explained his earlier curiosity, to some extent. It made Flamebringer like him even less for his nosiness. He wanted nothing to do with being a toy for a medical researcher.
He follows Bigby's comment with a growl, "I am no one's henchman. And this isn't some leisurely stroll. It's a bounty. A mission." And a threat to eliminate. He wasn't interested in bringing along liabilities.
But all the same- his look is still one of disdain as he thinks, but he considers Bigby's argument. Whatever this fool was, he was large. Larger than both of them at the moment. And their foe was likely even larger than he was. The size advantage couldn't be understated. And if he was a researcher to boot, that might prove to their advantage on the field. He didn't like him. He would rather leave him out. But beggars couldn't be choosers. There was no promising they would find a better option amongst the throng. He could leave the social niceties to Bigby since the musbeast already seemed buddy enough with him. As long as he was left be, he could put up with it.
"Can you hold your own in a fight?" He asks Akira. "If you prove to be a problem, I won't be covering for you." His eyes narrow, "Our lack of information is a disadvantage already. If you can't help, we will be sending you back home and handling it ourselves." It wouldn't be ideal. But it would be safer than keeping a third eye out.
