While that irritating little half-thought continues to circle in the back of his mind, he starts with the easiest thing to comment on and works backwards.
"Sometimes I'm called to lay waste to an advancing army; sometimes I'm called to get revenge on a cheating boyfriend." He's seen the full spectrum.
After eating another little piece of meat from his chopsticks, he keeps them there so he can gnaw on them thoughtfully. At first, he looks like he's going to speak up again, but he only watches Huaisang carefully in a silence that hangs. Chewing on that mental irritation like he's chewing on his chopstick.
Finally, something clicks. Wondering over how strange this summoning has been compared to the many, many others he has endured, he thinks back to the room he manifested in. He thinks about how clueless this summoner seems to be--compared to the complicated, powerful sigil that had been drawn in the cave. Almost as if he hadn't been the one to arrange the ritual.
All at once, the demon's eyes widen a little, and the chopsticks drop from his hand as he suddenly leans fully forward over the table, climbing, looming over the other man in a rush. Huaisang's lunch is interrupted by an ancient creature crawling over the table and lunging directly at him.
