[It is strange! Because Ryunosuke kind of still sees himself as... Just a guy. It's still rather hard to include 'Aion' as a part of his self-image.
...Maybe he is on the verge of seeing himself as something more, though, because when M wheels in front of him... He looks startled, for the briefest of moments. Alarmed, even... That nervous wide-eyed stare that is sort of his trademark makes a brief appearance.
But it's short lived, and though he's clearly tense, he doesn't cower. No, he stands his ground; even tries to match M's energy, picking up on the subtle body language of... Hm. 'intimidation' isn't exactly the right word for what M is doing, but Ryunosuke isn't sure what other name to give it. It's just a gut feeling he has, that the demon is doing something to increase the pressure of the situation, without actually making any visible moves... So Ryunosuke responds by refusing to back down, with his stiff backed posture befitting a soldier, chest puffed out a bit, his brows furrowing as he fixes the other man with a hard stare. Not quite a challenge, but not a surrender either.
...And then the Kenoma abruptly turns to leave.]
Ah--
[He's gone before Ryunosuke can string together the words for an appropriate goodbye, leaving him with nothing but a vaguely ominous feeling for company.
Disquieted, he walks on, making sure to take extra care this time to watch for additional Kenoma.]
Sounds good to me!
