[He picks up on what Minato says without his words but with his actions. This isn't the first time he's tried to help him in subtle ways like this after all...

It would be unwise to mention the rest of the group, especially in front of Atropos. He's sure they can guess that he actually isn't alone anyways. But it would be best to not give Atropos any early confirmation of this.]

It's just me.

[Literally, and in the sense that he ran off without anyone following him. As far as he knows to the best of his knowledge, nobody else knows where he's at.

If Minato was on their side he could already feel the talk he'd get from him about this. Especially for doing something so dangerous. But it has been difficult to not succumb to his raw emotions over Geryon having killed his parents. Spanner desperately wants to avenge them. Especially with the new power they had given him.

Despite differing sides, he trusts Minato enough to read between the lines.

He wouldn't say no to his help if he can do so safely.]
