He wasn’t certain if he believed her, but there was a part of him that did--perhaps. Not that it mattered. Caring about what one creature thought about him required that he was invested in them in some for or fashion. And he simply wasn’t invested in The Songbird any more than he was invested The Cat. At best, he enjoyed talking to her because, while she felt malevolent, there was a part of her that reminded him of his own kind. And while grigori rarely got on at all together in groups, or pairs, it was entertaining to collide once in a while.
He made an amused noise in the back of his throat as she talked about finding Jean boring. They disagreed in that regard; there was much about Jean that was interesting, but perhaps that was more a matter of preference. After all, eating for Elijah was a mere body function to stay alive. For all he knew, it made up her whole existence. Still, his brow rose as she told him she wasted energy on The Fox, eyeing her as she moved this way and that to peer at the bookstore’s newest occupant. He watched her still until she came to lean on him, and, he was disinclined to stiffen at the touch given his current mood. He was only reminded once again that she appeared to crave it.
“In that regard, Songbird, we have an accord,” he said of mystery even as she switched back to The Cat—as he felt her retire from this world wholly and back into whatever abyss she existed in.
At the same time he sighed through his nose, allowing everything about him to relax in a way. He contemplated, even as The Cat came back to herself, how he should react. He was no longer irritated or angry, to be sure. That helped quite a bit. But he also had a facade to maintain.
“I have,” he replied, tone soft and polite—cordial. He could sense her fear; not a shocking emotion, given her timidity. “Fascinating creature.” And then he lifted away from the bookshelf, his arm brushing hers as it had been pressed against it. He turned to look at her, magenta-electric hues focused on her as he tucked his hands into his slacks, the pockets there. “Are you alright?” he asked, not entirely concerned, but manners demanded he inquire all the same.
Besides, before her personality switch, there had been questions. And Jean was busy at present with another timid humanoid.
