The radiation was getting to him, apparently - he could've sworn... nevermind. Hat or no hat, he was still intrigued by the incredibly small crow, which he was at least 70% sure wasn't a child. Would it be rude to ask if it had some form of dwarfism...?
The spider let out a low grunt, clearing his mind of such thoughts, followed by him sidling sideways in a very crab-like manner to keep Bink pinned down in his sights. What a strangely befitting name for such a miniscule crow, he thought to himself, two eyes fixated on the nasty looking scar on the top of his head. "Hiding unnecessary," he said, in an attempt to make peace; though he was lacking in empathy, he didn't like the idea of people avoiding him simply because of what he was, especially interesting people, like the tiny little baby crow hiding under a lion. "Will not harm subject Bink." A true enough statement, although it was missing a little "intentionally," and maybe a little "as long as you don't enrage me" - though both applied to all people, so the exclusion was less out of a lawyer-esque malice and more out of thinking it was pretty obvious.
His focus was broken by the presence of Lemy, though, who was... well, the first thing that popped into Abathur's head was "nuisance," which wasn't quite accurate. The excitement the male portrayed was certainly interesting, and made Abathur wonder if the radiation got to him, too, but primarily he was torn between dismissing him as simply another annoying person with little use to his research, and being glad that he met someone who didn't seem even mildly uncomfortable at his presence. "Greetings," he said, reserving judgment.
Conclusions drawn from insufficient sample sizes were like to be incorrect, after all.
