"Vital." Food was pretty damn important, though he didn't think Batman would be particularly amused if he'd said he'd been bringing flowers. Same thing, really, at the time.
"The older one - that's Raito - already got killed for it, so I'm sure he knows better. Especially since the guy who caught him is here." Same with Mikami, given the way the guy had gone absolutely bugfuck during the last curse and spammed Near's post with his real name. It had been damn funny though, he had to say that, especially given the curse Near himself had been under at the time. "They had a notebook that killed anyone whose name was written in it. You might have noticed Raito's rather interested in people's real names... that's why."
He wasn't going to tell Batman about the ...eyes thing, though.
