He takes the jar gratefully, though his eagerness is distracted by the vessel itself. He takes a moment to inspect it, turning it curiously around in his hands before he opens it. Huh... he can't remember the last time he'd seen anything like this. It makes him even more curious about whatever lies out there beyond this cave.

Speaking of which... Huaisang only rests for a few moments before the demon pauses in his drinking to consider him as he sits there. Hmm.

He hadn't been given an order, but he's feeling uncommonly generous. This little Nie has been agreeable enough, even going to far as to ask about his needs. That doesn't happen often. It doesn't take him long to decide that doing something nice in return seems worthwhile.

Besides, if he helps, it will get them out of these boring caves sooner rather than later.

After setting the jar beside Huaisang again, he moves a polite step backward before shrugging off his physical form once more. Hellfire flares out and the air warps, before quickly snapping back into place a second later. A big, black hound now stands in his place again.

Stepping close to Huaisang, he lowers his head and dips his shoulders down. Climb on, new friend.
