He brightens up visibly; team-up offer? Awesome. "Yeah, totally! I'll-"
At that moment, he's interrupted by a very familiar and very unwelcome beeping. "Aw, man-" He tosses the frisbee back one more time before talking a couple steps back. "I, uh, gotta go! Right now. Later!!"
He bounds off, aiming for an area with more cover - and landing out of sight just before the brief flashes of red from the symbol on his chest give way to one big flash, leaving a considerably less massive, less alien eleven-year-old boy crouched on the ground as it recedes.
Ben stands up straight and glares at the now-red face of his watch for a moment. "Nice timing there," he mutters. But he did get out without being exposed; now he's just gotta wait another ten minutes.
