[Felix watched as Harrington searched the woods nearby. He waited till the young man had wandered too far away from his peers, till he was out of sight and alone. Then he made some noise to lure the searcher just a little further.
It was probably an ill move to strike so soon without a plan, without knowing the full stakes, without having tested the waters. He had no way of knowing how Steve would react to him. The orb had been clear about how the deal worked but Felix had broken his and demanded an alternate route; it had left him with forewarned consequences and a slew of memories he had refused to relinquish as part of his new deal. Now he had to figure out whether Steve had been affected or not. Did Harrington remember anything or nothing at all of his time aboard the Ximilia with its crew. The mercenary should have proceeded with more caution. But that had never been Felix's strong point. Act first, think later or never at all. Besides this could be hella fun for him if done right.
And maybe a little part of him refused to think what it would be like to be forgotten by the one person in his new life who had grown to mean so much to him. How that would affect him.
Felix chuckled softly as he saw the spiked bat lifted and held in Steve's grip as the young man moved cautiously forward. The ex-marine knew it would give him away but he couldn't help himself. The sight was just too funny for some reason. As Steve reacted to his laughter, Felix slipped back into hiding and carefully sneaked round the man while his attention was drawn to Felix's previous position. He came up close to Steve from behind and whispered.]
What are you going to do with that, huh?
[His voice was soft, and what's more it was muffled due to the black balaclava pulled over his head and covering his mouth. It was part of the reason behind the rumors--spotting him even briefly left much to the imagination. His face covered and his lithe body encased in the undersuit of his armor like a second skin of black and gray scales, it was no wonder the rumors described him as a demon of the forest.]
