This whole thing is so definitely not cute, at all, but... this guy also seems alarmingly genuine. He makes a special note of the hand on the sword; he's so ready to throw down if he needs to.

What's REALLY throwing him is that he's not getting an empathic read off this guy. It's like he's not even really there. That alone is reason enough to be nervous. He should probably try to get more info.

Neku sighs loudly before appearing to concede: "Alright, fine... what did you need to ask?"
