Henry blinked, ducking several bats as they swooped toward Dax. He didn't for a moment think it was random--while he knew relatively little about bats, he did know there was almost nothing that would mob a human like that. Someone had let them out--the same someone who had directed them here in the first place, no doubt.

Nebulon. Clearly, his nefarious nature knew no bounds.

A moment was all it took for him to see they weren't actually attacking Dax, so he didn't waste time trying to beat them away. "Are you all right?" he asked, eying the bats askance as he righted his glasses. They seemed perfectly peaceable, now that they were actually perched on her, but that didn't mean they wouldn't decide to freak out.

He knelt beside Chance, his eyebrows raising at the sight of the knife. "Creative, if ineffective," he said, dry, as he reached out and snapped the string that tied the knife to the bat. This worried him--while Nebulon (if it was indeed Nebulon) seemed to be inept, that didn't mean an attack couldn't work by pure accident. "This is...unfortunate," he murmured to Chance.
