[Douman doesn't manage to fully keep his smile out of his voice as he lifts his hands in mock surrender.]

My apologies. It's a bad habit that I just can't shake.

[He probably couldn't even if he did want to, which Douman frankly doesn't. It's always entertaining to him when he ends up making people jump or yelp stuff they didn't actually meant to say because his youkai powers tend to mask his presence until he willingly makes it known.]

It was probably during one of those glitches, then. Please just forget that ever happened.

[It's already bad enough that he has Mr. Giggles-and-Doom gleefully call him by his real name thanks to it. Douman really doesn't need or want another one doing the same.

He spends a moment to look Scott up and down and lightly shrugs his shoulders while he's dropping his hands.]

I'm Nurarihyon. I know that it might seem paradoxical for a youkai to offer to help humans, but I figured that we're all in the same boat right now. Especially since I have never been much of a predator anyways.

[That's both the truth and a boldfaced lie. But as far as his personal youkai lore goes he is indeed more of a nuisance than any real danger to those he happens to.]
