[ He doesn't need telepathy to see that Hiro is trying very hard to stay calm. But he'd be lying if he said he wasn't concerned. Attacking a swarm of insects is like trying to punch a wave: they'll flow around and into any openings, like water. Even getting bitten by just one might be a problem: most likely there's poison on those pincers. A complete telekinetic shield would protect them, but that takes energy, which he doesn't have right now. His chest was tight and heavy even before their little friends showed up.
He looks up, at the demon tiger. The bug zapper idea isn't perfect, but it will have to do. He's not sure what Hiro has in mind regarding a distraction (how do you distract a bug swarm?) but he's too tired to argue, and besides they don't have time. ]
Yes, fine.
[ At that instant, he can sense the bugs in the air, falling. They've leapt off the branch above, and he only just has time to throw up a partial telekinetic shield, just strong enough to deflect and bounce the bugs away. Unfortunately this attracts the attention of the main swarm. ]
