[Well, yeah, it makes sense. He wasn't exactly about to go around asking for somewhere to stay because asking for help isn't how he operates, but now that it's been offered he may as well make use of shelter.
He doesn't nod, though, or even do anything in response to the offer rather than outright approach her to enter. It's the only affirmation she'll get but at least it's an obvious one from this otherwise unemotive stranger.]
[that'll work. and luckily, there's no one else in the waiting room at present. now that the stranger is inside, she can ask a few more questions, and try to subtly guide him towards a room.]
Are you in any kind of danger? Is that why you're hiding from someone?
[come on...say something...at least enough that she can make her second offer.]
[Given his unemotive manner of speech it might be hard to pick up on him wording that way specifically cause he's an arrogant robot hedgehog, but it's because he's an arrogant robot hedgehog. He can't - and won't - entertain the idea.
But hey, confirmation is confirmation.]
I just find them annoying. But I believe in the name of "peace" the Enma would frown upon random acts of violence.
[DON'T TELL HIM HE'S WRONG ABOUT THIS UNLESS SHE WANTS TURTLE BLOOD ON HER HANDS HE'S NEW THERE'S STILL TIME]
[please do NOT slaughter turtles in your first and only month in hell.]
I see. Well, random acts of violence are frowned upon in this place as well, as that's not to the benefit of patients getting to heal. Peace is an enforced rule.
[let's see, where's that box in the closet...aha. she'd had these as emergency items should someone come in with clothes too damaged to go home with, since you can't really decline a free box when you're already at the thrift store. it's a reasonable assumption given some of these guys.]
It is the Enma's authority that matters to me, nobody else.
[He's a good 6 inches shorter than she is but he sure is a stern little guy. Still, there's no hint of threat in his voice - he states it matter of factly, not in the tone of someone about to start trouble.
...then again, maybe the general stoicism makes it hard to make that kind of reading of him.
But really, he won't.
All that aside, he doesn't even make an effort to peek past her or see what she's doing. He really is stood stone statue still the whole time, except for the fact his mouth occasionally opens to speak.]
I'm not sure what happened to your clothes, but anything in here that you like, you can have. I'm quite sure there are some garments close enough to your size - I promise they're not simply cheap rags.
[the offer is because she simply doesn't know his style - what he would prefer for himself. if she was to choose, the response would be far different, but since he's not a patient...]
[He stares at the box and it sort of hits him like an epiphany.]
Oh. [Even if his response is very tame. His gaze goes from her to the box to her again.] I see. I forgot humans found clothing to be a necesscity.
[And he is disguised as a human, not a yokai, so that's important.
That being said given literally everyone else wasn't naked, you'd think the highly advanced AI would've picked that up quicker than this. But he's always naked, see.
Not gonna lie though, he picks out a few mismatched pieces of clothing just for the sake of it. He was built to terrorize, not accessorize.]
