Koumyou beams, and bumps him right back.

"She's very different from the youkai in Shangri-La," Koumyou adds, "the rest of the world's demons are more like Lady Wiggles, and they usually don't get along with humans. But she just wants to be a kitty, so it's fine. She probably won't even eat anyone!"

Th..that's a joke, right?

"Though I didn't think about food, either. Uh. I'm very bad at this, aren't I?"

Koumyou is only half-joking, there, and then he turns back to the cat, "Um... I saw a bunch of fish in stores this month! And bacon!"

That, at least, gets a softly-trilling meow, like an audible question mark.
