Hube was crouched in place. It was something he excelled at doing. He could blend into the surrounding just by standing perfectly still and watching.  It might be a disconcerting thing for someone who might be used to seeing nothing there. He was feeling a little something in the air that morning but with Nyssa offline he couldn’t do a scan

He watched and a feeling of reassurance came over him as the man known as Gwendal demonstrated his power. He was not wrong to allow the man to give him orders. When the deed was complete, Hube nodded and did exactly as requested. He appreciated direct control. This man was worthy to possess the power of Earth. The wall crumbled slightly as he pulled away from it, but he managed to pull away in such a precise manner that it caused the bits of the wall to fill in gaps underneath which kept it from falling further. He seemed no worse for wear.

“I am a Hunter.” He noted. He saw that someone was coming to help the woman and ... Hube’s eye twitched.... her kitten.

He turned his eye so that he could pinpoint the location of the man under the rubble. “His leg is broken and he’s nearly unconscious.” He said after a moment of survey with his mechanical eye. He could see the heat signatures under the loose stone and they returned the data to his brain. “That is why you cannot hear him. He will need the attention of a healer immediately.”
His head turned and a gear shifted audibly. “There is one more under the rubble. You cannot help him. He is dead. He was dead instantly when the wall collapsed and crushed his skull.”

The words were spoken with no emotion, it seemed as though he might be reading a report of the weather.

The blood around that particular section he was looking at was a good indication that Hube was speaking the truth.
