The small male found himself moving to investigate as well. Well, actually that hadn't been the original plan at all. He had already considered heading outside of Salsola in order to have a spot of fun. But the smell of someone hanging out near the borders certainly trumped anything that the boy might possibly have ever had in mind to do. Since he was already going to go out he had on his panties that served to cover up the mark of the pack. He had considered going out and making sure his own personal space hadn't been invaded. But why do that when there was entertainment to be found right at the borders of Salsola. The boy had been present the last time someone had thought to encroach upon the hidden borders. One of those trespassers remained within the confines of Salsola while the other's remains had been left to rot out in the bay, after the precious meat had been removed from it of course.

Bastion gave a nod to the blonde coated male as he passed him by. The small male was one to let curiosity dictate his actions. And well, he wanted to know more about this loiterer. The only way that seemed to be possible is if he were the one to actually make the trip out and see what was going on. No other members had made the approach yet so he put himself up for the task. He wasn't worried about it because he was so used to being underestimated. After all who would assume the worse about someone as small as he was? Especially hearing him talk in broken phrases just like a child. Because of that he tended to never have to worry about a fight or any sort of trouble.

The young male moved over to the outsider. He didn't bother to do anything to hide his approach. Why should he? His mark was already hidden and his scent was laced with that of flowers to cover up the pack's scent. Why should anyone think him anything more than a lost, feminine appearing child? Bastion took his lack of concern for harmful repercussions a step further by actually trying to seat himself upon the older male's lap. "Hi. You live?" The boy made to bring his face close to the other's in order to try and peer closely at it in order to determine if he was dealing with the living or the dead. Of course he didn't stop there but actually thought to attempt to lick at the other canine's nose. The boy was an odd one, there was no doubt about that. Still he had earned his place even if the first appearance and impression made many question why he was of such a high rank. But it wasn't like he had to prove himself to any but the leadership and he had more than done that already. They, like everyone else, just took his quirks in stride.

The boy was startled as a voice rose out of what he had been figuring was a carcass. He took a few steps back and away from the resting male. He wasn't exactly scared but had been surprised and once he had gotten over the initial shock he was once again staring curiously at him. "I no dead." Bastion interjected the words with a giggle and a happy wag of his tail. "You looks dead, no moving." The explanation was broken and clipped out in an incomplete way. Still Bastion had felt to at least to have said enough to get his point across. And if not, they oh well. Not everyone was used to his pattern of speech, but then again how could they be if they were just meeting him for the first time.

The small male stared in the direction of the older male and watched him but his gaze ended up slipping past him to notice that the blonde had moved and contained with a different portion of foliage. Bastion wasn't exactly a mind reader either but he was perceptive. He didn't know the other family enough to know if he could pick up on nonverbal clues or not. It wasn't like with his puppy where he only had to make the barest of hints to get his point across and to have his puppy doing exactly what he wanted. Bastion knew his own weaknesses and played them up. If he was to be left alone with the elder outsider then there was no way he could take him on in a fair fight. Instead he sought to stare past the one that had been stumbled upon to seek out the gaze of the other high ranked male, and of course he tried not to be obvious about it since he didn't want to be obvious about it but just to let the other know that he knew he was there and hoped he was paying attention.

The boy dipped his gaze to the ground to stare at his feet as if he were shy and rubbed one ankle against the other. He then glanced a peek up as he crossed his arms just enough to have his hands rubbing at the forearm of the opposite arm a few time before one hand finally managed to run its way up one arm to caress his throat as the other hand had taken hold of the elbow of the arm that was playing at the youth's throat. After all the fidgeting about the boy seemed to finally able to find his voice once again. "Play with me?" The question was directed towards both men at the same time. The fidgeting had been entirely to indicate to Itachi that this aged gentleman should be restrained. And well, slavery was a game for him. Actually this whole ordeal was a game for him. Would the other Salsolan pick up upon the charades? Would the near trespasser agree to Bastion's whims? He couldn't predict any of it and that is what made it a game.

Slowly the boy ceased all of his fidgeting in order to ease closer to Cass once more. "Please?" The single word was spoken softly as the young male tilted his head back to angle a pleading look up to the armed male and reached out to try to grab the other's hand to hold between both of his own small ones. Bastion portrayed a look that would make it seem as if he would be completely heartbroken should his plea be denied just as would be found upon any child's face when they desperately wanted something.

Those that met him hardly ever recognized his calculating mind past the childlike persona that he put on. Hardly any ever realized just how sharp his mind was and that he analyzed each situation and possible outcomes in order to react accordingly. He allowed for others to think him dense simply because it was the easiest way to end up enforcing his will. All of their misconceptions about him left them with their guard down. That most certainly worked to Bastion's advantage. The small male knew his own weaknesses and how he would never win anything on an even playing field. It was why he played up the helpless child card so often. To do so just turned things in his favor more often than not.

He was uncertain if his silent instructions had been easy enough to pick up on. He didn't wish to do anything outright that couldn't be played off as a case of nerves. And well, this was the first time that the two Salsolans had worked together so signals would be easy to misread. Bastion was used to just dealing with Janos and having him seem to very nearly read his mind. Even so Itachi had continued to move and Basti had done what he could to get the point across that the blonde male should be the one to instate the capture.

The small male tilted his head to the side as he listened to the older gentleman's accented way of speaking. "Be fun." He assured the other in clipped tones. "I take toy." The boy pointed towards Cassius's weapon to indicate what he was referring to. He had no clue about what it was or its intended use. To him it just looked like a fun trinket to play with. Bastion held out both of his hands in clear anticipation that it would be passed off to him without any sort of struggle. After all what had he done to give the other a reason to distrust him? As far as he knew he had played his part carefully. And well, he really wanted to get the weapon away from the other before Itatchi made his move in order to make it one less factor.
