He saw it almost immediately after he'd finished opening the door all the way, out of the corner of his eye: the tip of a bright orange horn slipping into the shadows down the dingier end of the alley. There was an infinitesimal catch in his movements, but then Bruno carried on walking the bike out the door like he had just been about to do, still casual and seemingly not having noticed a thing. Cassandra would have picked up on it in a heartbeat; he hoped that Trolls weren't as good at reading body language as Cass was.

Bruno didn't really know a lot about the Trolls, except that there were a bunch of them and they seemed to complain about humans a lot (and... that they all typed weirdly.) But he did know generally what they looked like, and, in particular, he new about Gamzee. He couldn't not; he'd promised Daniel that he would protect him. And even though he didn't consider himself a 'hero' in the same way that Cassandra and her friends were, he also tried never to ignore or avoid a possible threat to others when appeared right in front of him. He didn't know yet if it was Gamzee, but he intended to find out

He propped the bike up on its kickstand just a short way out the door and crouched down to go through the motions of double-checking the break pads and the visible engine parts. Inwardly, though, he was tapping into the not insignificant reserve of brute-force computing power his mechanical mind had at its disposal, focusing intently on any minuscule sound of movement he could detect from the unknown Troll's direction.
