Eager as Rikive was to remain undetected, Parry was doubly concerned with his current predicament. Whoever this Celestial was, he/she/it had a purpose for being here. On the surface, probably hunting this demon down and eradicating it from the city. But underneath that it was entirely possible she was here to find Parry and bring him back to the Nether. 

Where he could potentially face consequences for going AWOL. So... to help or not to help? That was the question.

So while Parry reached into his bag and offered Rikive Winterthorn by the hilt, he withdrew his Dawn Blade and held it at the ready, letting Rikive take the lead on this one.
