Lost? He tilts his head, blinking owlishly up at the human that, surprisingly, isn’t running away and screaming. He’s yet to meet a human that’s been anything other than angry or frightened, so Rui has been thrown for a bit of a loop.

“….Maybe?” He answers quietly and takes another bite of his meal. “I don’t know where I am.” But does that mean that he’s lost? Rui wanders from place to place like all demons who don’t have an established hunting ground, he hasn’t bothered to learn the names of the villages he’s hunted in. They never seemed very important.

 He can’t invite him. 

 “...Do you need some water? Its hard to walk around when your really thirsty? Isn’t it?” 

He’s doing his best to remain calm, but having such a strange child near his own children would be impossible to stay calm in. This is a situation where life is on the line if he talks the wrong thing. 

There’s a rustling from the bushes that goes on for a few minutes, as if whoever is hiding can’t make their mind to come out or not. However, they do and while the figure might seem like a human child at first glance, he is decidedly not.

From his lilac hair to his odd eyes and teal nails, he can only be called superficially human at best…not to mention the fact that the demon is clutching a severed human arm in his hands that is riddled with bites of flesh taken out and blood around his mouth.

Be calm. He doesn’t sense any killing intent at all from this one, but that doesn’t mean he should be easy going. The arm...he might need to rid of that one, but still, everything is under his watchful eye. There is nothing to be feared right now. 

 “...Hey there. Are you lost?”

It was only when he was cleaning up the backyard of his dojo, that he felt something approaching. It was small and possibly a child, His senses keen for someone who was just a normal human. 

The hour was growing late and Giyu rarely travel at night. After a moment, he nods in agreement. “Thank you, We’d be honored.” Midori coos as he slowly gets to his talons. He trotted along after Giyu. Which made the water pillar slightly nervous. “I’m Tomioka Giyu and this is Midori.” The old shaky crow again coos.

 “How smart. It must take a long time for crows to understand human speech. Your really lucky.” the spare bedroom hasn’t been used since the other person had...well it doesn’t matter! Its being used now. 

 “Do you need anything? a bath? food? We don’t have much but its something.”

 “Sunflower seeds maybe?”

Uncomfortable. That was the only word that came to mind, as he sat there formally. His hand on his lap, barely making eye contact. “It’s… fine.” He does however indulge himself with the tea. After he takes a sip from the tea, he looks over at the man. “Ah. I’ve come with gifts.” That was acceptable right? He slides over a box that was next to him, full of dango. It was one of the post popular treats. The water pillar liked them on rare occasion. 

   “—— honestly anyone over 5′4″ is not valid by default.”

“Nope. Heard there was some strong guy here and I came to beat him up.”

 “I’m sorry, theres no one here that fits your description.” calm, but putting the tea down. He makes a move to stand.
