[ Kai puts in his own order for black tea with the kind of distracted air that says he's not actually paying much attention to whatever it is he's asking for. Food's never been much of a concern, much as he appreciates it from time to time.
Besides, anything else he might have had in mind is very quickly overtaken as Matoba starts talking about curses. Kai's gaze immediately narrows in unblinkingly on Matoba's covered eye, though there's something thoughtful in his expression. Is that what the weird feeling he gets from Matoba comes from? He'd thought it was just an exorcist thing, but what does he know.
It probably says something about his own self-preservation instincts that he's not on the other side of the room with the rest of them, but maybe that's his own misfortune aspect at work. He's been called a curse himself before, hasn't he? And, well. He's already here, and he does owe Matoba something, doesn't he.
With a sigh of his own, he allows his human form to dissolve into smoke, vanishing under the table for a second before his black cat shape pops back up next to Matoba's seat, primly settling within petting range. ]
Thank you. I think. [ Not that he'd exactly chosen this form, but he'll take what compliments he can get. ] Why come here if you know they're going to avoid you?
