Basil sighed as he heard commotion outside, followed by the usual games of morality the humans and White Fang usually engaged in. After Odell allowed several minutes to socialise, he looked around at the ragtag team. Instead of engaging in conversation his hand twitched back to his scroll to send several more messages to his associates in the underworld. Generally they were the same threats he had issued in person, but left as a reminder in their inboxes.
After Odell moved to the staging area, he decided to follow suit. He wasn't exactly having a riveting discussion with anyone. Moving through the fort, he received several odd looks from many of the personnel. Perhaps they recognized him him from the streets of Vale? Or perhaps they suspected he was one of the faunus they so despised. The thought made him chuckle slightly as he followed the signs pointing to the hangar.
When the crow faunus reached the hangar, he followed the duo ahead of him to wherever they were to meet up with some difficulty. The mechanics and mech pilots were moving in a frenzy of activity as though the Grimm could attack at any moment. Well, he supposed they could. As Basil navigated through the crowds, the rather impressive swan wings came to the forefront of his mind. Surely they weren't the same wings he'd been hired to...extract a few months ago? The wings belonged to some upper-class heiress, she wouldn't climb down from her glass tower to save Vale. Some odd fellow had came to Basil and his associates asking for them, a strange request but it payed well, unfortunately the the security around the castle was far too advanced for Basil to deem the operation reasonable although the fellow who made the request seemed happy to begin purchasing Basil's other products.
Eventually catching up to the duo, the bird faunus could not help but ask the lady
"It seems a bit strange for someone of your stature to be here, you are the lady who lives in the castle on the outskirts of Vale yes?" Dolor seemed to recognize the swan faunus as he gave a hearty caw after Basil reached Mikoto. Quickly silencing the crow with a sharp tap on the beak,he waited curiously for the swan faunus' response
