It was strange in a way to Hikari that Airi kept answering his questions. Then again he wasn't one to understand a demon's intentions. The same was true for her advice. Surely he did mean to make the demons happy, and following her advice sounds like it would insure that. It could as well kill him, but he didn't have much knowledge or power in this place either way. Her last 'offer' especially put him on an edge of sorts.

Any other thoughts were quickly dispersed at the abrupt entrance and voice of the other person. Him knowingly being outnumbered, even as he knew he was out powered in this realm, sent another chill down his spine forcing him to sit up straighter. Facing the table within his cell allowed him to steal a sideways glance towards the new demon. Quite momentary, as their manner of dress quickly was revealed to the man as he had been scanning from their face down to the markings below her collarbone. Suddenly the few idle distractions he could manage seemed all the more important than giving any immediate attention, though the site of a more otherworldly demon unsettled him as well.

Mental contemplation was evident on his face as he restrained himself from any immediate reply, again thankful to the poorly lit room to hide his expression. His hands would run as they had before across the lengthy red ribbon to seek some sort of answer from it. After some moments, a word would finally find itself escaping his lips. A frustration and concern hidden within.
