Yes, he did mention there was a fight. What I don't understand is why his habits with regards to your shinki have anything to do with it.

[Hakkai recrosses his arms. What is Roxas trying to say, anyway? Wouldn't it make much more sense to stay away from a shinki who'd caused problems for you, instead of naming him and keeping him?

In fact, he's a little surprised that Roxas didn't simply let Hibari die. That would have been the sensible course.

He won't discuss which god is "first," not if they've both named Hibari. He's not sure at all that there is a priority for a stray.]
