Hector watched Nobel and Trago approach with a silent stare. He didn't seem curious or even remotely interested in either of them, but there was a flash of recognition in his eyes when he saw them.

"I remember this thing," Hector said, stepping forward so that he was staring directly at Tragoedia. "Last time I met him, he threw me off a cliff."

"Negative. It was you who attacked me," Tragoedia answered, the talons in his feet digging into the dirt ground as if preparing for a fight. But Hector merely grunted a response, turning instead to Nobel. His gaze hovered over him for several seconds, before he stopped and returned to sitting on a shipping crate that acted as a makeshift seat.

"No need to look so nervous. All of us here have worked for Diaboli at some point." He waved his hand at his friends, who nodded their confirmation. "Everybody's so worried about the Grimm, nobody's going to be looking out for a..." A slight pause. "...man like yourself," he finished vaguely.

After dismissing his men to provide a bit of privacy, Hector allowed for Blanc to explain the details of their situation. He didn't speak while listening to her explaination, only nodding once or twice as she spoke. When she had finished, he sighed and began scratching the worn metal of his mask in thought.

"I figured as much. It would explain while Smiler's suddenly running wild with his little group of psychos." He leaned forward, addressing Blanc directly. "Tell you what. I'll help you find him, just this once. I owe him after letting me go after that whole incident with the Nine Dragons of Vale. I know some people who might give you a lead. I'll take you to them."

Blanc was glad to have recieved some useful help so soon after arriving in Vale, but glanced at her companions. "What about my friends? What will they do?"

Hector dismissed the thought with a wave of his hand. "They can go search somewhere else. You must have some idea about what you were planning on doing once you arrived, right Doc?" he asked Nobel.
