"Ninjas," he confirmed for her, but was suspicious of her flippancy on the subject. The nine clans went out of their ways to make sure no one knew who they were and what they were connected in, but this woman spoke about them like it was unimportant. She either knew more than she let on, or she really just was strange. Considering her prior questions, the second may be the more likely of the options. "I didn't mean to grab you," he offered as a half-apology without actually saying the words, "I was alarmed and reacting on instinct alone." Dark gaze falling on the object offered his way, he looked between her and it before finally asking her, "What is it?"

Not that their health was always their top priority, but you can't breed beasts without at least feeding them. Then they wouldn't know to rely on you and swallow everything you offered them. Free thinking wasn't considered a favorable trait amongst his kind.
