[Noé probably still will be stubborn about it. Trying to at least delay how often he might need to feed. But given he hasn't met or talked to the other yet, he isn't sure what sort of impression Tantai might have of him. What Vanitas might have said.]
Eh? I mean. I don't like this. And I know I can be stubborn sometimes.
[But he knows Vanitas is just worried. Trying to help. And so was Aether. And he doesn't like them fretting, either. As much as he hates this. The idea of needing this.]
I don't know, but every curse generally has a remedy. {It just might not be pleasant or desirable.} I'm different if you want to see what my power can do.
I guess it can't hurt to check. There might be something we missed? But ah, different? How do you mean?
[He isn't as sure on what the cure or remedy might be. It sounds like others have been here a while and have not yet figured it out, if there is. Or whether they might be willing to pay whatever the cost might be. The consequences.]
Deepest self? Oh....no, I wouldn't want you to do something if you weren't comfortable. I don't expect you to do anything like that. You're already offering to help me plenty.
[He can't expect anything more. Let alone the potential price or consequence involved.]
It's an option. {If the Devil God awakens, Tantai Jin will fight for dominance and probably lose.} I can control his powers for a little while. Should he awaken.
[He is guessing. Based on what the other says. Not that he has any particular experience with something like this. Still. If possible, of course, his instinct is to try and help somehow.]
I'm not sure if that's something Vanitas might be able to help with.
It would be. {World ending bad. Tantai Jin is trying to take all of the precautions he can, but if the Devil God awakens, no preparation will be enough.}
He is going to try. I will speak to others and see what they are capable of doing, too.
Alright. I'm not sure if I can help, but. I would want to do something. Since you're offering to help me. So if you need a hand with anything, let me know, okay?
[Because. Well, if Tantai Jin is offering to help him. Then he should do the same. Should be able to help somehow at least. He doesn't expect this assistance for nothing in return.]
{He wonders where this kindness comes from and if everyone possesses it. He thinks some lack it entirely - those who used to beat him and betray him surely have no hearts. But the people in this world...do. Interesting.}
I didn't ask for repayment. Why do you offer it so freely?
Huh? Well. I mean. You're doing something to help me out, so....?
[Yeah. He doesn't consider it that big a deal? Just returning the favor of the other offering to help him out somehow. However, that might be. Whatever the other might need. Though, should Tantai get to know him better, he'd realize that this kindness is in spite of all that the vampire has been through.]
I am. I'm just not accustomed to anyone offering me anything in return. {Ever. For someone like Tantai Jin, born into a cold world, deprived of simple humanity, it means a great deal. How else is a Devil God supposed to be properly born?}
I... {What does he say? Trust is difficult for him to grasp and yet... Li Susu would want him to try.} Likewise. If you're hungry. It's alright. You don't have to hide.
[Even if he might still be stubborn about it and try to last for longer between being able to feed. And that he can alternate given he has three people offering so far to help him.]
[At least if the other gets suspicious as to how long he goes without feeding, he can reassure him that he's having help from others as well. That and if he really were being that stubborn about it, Vanitas would surely do something to help.]
