Bruce just makes a noise that's probably akin to Yeah sure, but also a bit like There is no time to argue with me, so deal - the truth of it is, his logic here is that whatever has need of an alarm system expects the dragon to be in the field. If they only see the dragon, there's going to be less need for making a big show of things and searching. When the house-sized animal stops walking in the center of the clearing, resigned to its predicament, Bruce half-turns and looks at Seoraj - not for long. He ushers him (as ungently as he needs to) underneath the dragon itself and then follows, crouched, so that the both of them are as obscured by both the grass and the monster as they're going to be.

While being underneath a giant, old, warm and breathing animal is not the most pleasant experience (at least the grass smells nice?), it soon becomes apparent that it's preferable to dealing with whatever is coming to investigate the alarm. Oddly-shaped and unnatural limbs begin to appear through the grass, carrying bodies that can't be fully seen from their hiding place. The dragon shifts and moves every so often, and Bruce keeps moving with it, turning, dead silent and clearly aware in a keen way of exactly where everything around them is; every so often he wordlessly nudges Seoraj a bit, and if the younger man can catch what he's doing, it's adjusting their positions so that they fall at all times into the slimmest of angles where they can't be seen.

The things looking around don't seem terribly adept at tracking, and none of them appear confined to one form, so Bruce can't begin to guess what they even are, but the sounds they make at each other have the harsh tone of hostility. One of them, spider-like, marches around the dragon, then further away, circling.
