Loki saw the angel crawling through the bushes. He wondered why he'd suddenly turned so obvious. Was he tiring?

Ah, but maybe... maybe he was offering himself as bait, with the other angel hiding somewhere, staying still and intending to take him down before he could change his position after firing!

He had no idea where his own team mate was, so he stayed quite still for a while, scanning anything that might provide some cover for hints that there was a second person around.
