[ While he should be focusing on disposing of the rat coming after him, he can't help but try to get a peek at the other man's ability. What is that? Something strange, that's for certain, with the way the rat is suddenly stuck between the floor, squirming around wildly. He'd like it if he could get a closer look when he's—
Right. Not evading an attack. Distracted for the second that he was, the rat jumps in close to him, which he responds to by delivering a swift kick to the center of it's chest, the sound of several bones breaking cracking through the air. His heel comes down on the beast, pinning it to the ground on it's back to stay away from the tentacles, before lodging a pin in one side of it's brain, unblinking.
The rat screams from whatever it is that Illumi is doing to it, just as the first had. With that out of the way, he finds himself... with plenty of time to help! He's gotten the gist of the way this animal's brain works, now, and he twists his body to throw a pin right into the side of the head of the rat Bruno had trapped in Sticky Fingers's zipper pitfall, with deadly accuracy. It's only then that Bruno will get a closer look at what's happening to them as Illumi pins them; a brief inspection shows that the bones in it's face are morphing this way and that, quite cartoonishly, and causing what can only be horrific pain. That's what elicits the screams, and the non-immediate death. What'd he'd surmised from the first and second is that he can't kill them instantly with a single pin, with the way their head is bisected— transfiguring their face seems to do the trick with incapacitating them, though.
Unfortunately, all the rat screams are drawing a lot of attention, which becomes obvious not just aurally, but visually... with the way the rest of the rats in the area are scurrying into view towards them. Not surprising, but still troublesome. Illumi moves to stand between the deeper part of the cave and the scientist, only looking at him briefly to gauge how bad his injury is (very bad). ]
You should hurry, [ He says, calmly, pulling more pins from his body. Is Bruno struggling?? Illumi is busy looking at the oncoming Rat Respawns™, and coming up with an idea that won't end in all of them getting eaten, so he doesn't even think to check on him. ] If you want to take him, pick him up now.
[ By that, he means before these rats get here. He'll play nice and cover for the poor guy for these hot few seconds, despite leaving him out to dry not 10 minutes earlier. ]
