[He's had some time to calm down, debrief with some others and just take a few moments to himself. Hearing the familiar voice through the door, he's getting up though and opening said-door to look at her.
He looks like he's showered and he's...dressed for bed? Sort of. He's in pajama pants and a t-shirt and he blinks at her carefully before stepping aside to let her in.]
Hey. Come in. [He eyes the coffee curiously but he knows better than to take without asking.]
[...god he really. Hates to disappoint her. There's a sad little smile and he regretfully shakes his head.]
Not exactly that. I just wasn't planning on going anywhere else tonight. [That is to say, please caffeinate him. Also his clothes were kinda bloody from manhandling Zero's body before it disappeared so.] But I want you to stay anyway.
[Here's your coffee, Master, she GUESSES. She went out of her way to make sure his wasn't too sweet, but rest assured Tamamo's coffee is likely a mess of sugar.
It's also half-gone so countdown until she's buzzing into a new plane of existence]
And as you wish. I wanted to ... check in, after my behavior.
Sure. [He smirks a little and takes the coffee, leading her into the room to have a seat on the couch. Thank you for the coffee he'll be awake forever now.]
...I'm glad you came by, actually. I know you wanted space but I was starting to debate going to find you anyway.
[No, he deserves (?) this. But he watches her closely all the same.]
...but the thing about that is we never know who the demons are until it's too late. Not that I'm not glad you won't murder other people, but it's the same problem we've had for weeks.
About the ritual, you mean? [He frowns as he sips his coffee.] I wondered as well, but we don't have any proof of that either. Didn't she know about what you guys found in that dungeon down there?
I'd believe all three, too. There's something...seriously wrong with this ship. And it's like I've been saying since the beginning, we're being watched by someone even if we don't know who yet. If they can really hear us and see us, why wouldn't they tempt her away?
[She cards a hand through her hair, visibly frustrated.]
Master -- just. Please be careful. Zero-chan could be headstrong, I'll admit that, but she wasn't particularly stupid, either. I do not want you or the rest being lured away from the group. We have safety in numbers, and little else.
After what just happened, I think a lot of us are more suspicious now. I would hope that people don't start exploring alone. Now is really not the time to get distracted and separated. [He's worried because they're a bunch of really stubborn fools, but still.]
The same goes for you, y'know. I don't want you to be alone more than you have to right now.

[What the heck her eyes light up immediately with pride, look at her Master, actually perhaps taking care of his health. Her tails wag?]
In that case, no caffeine for you. I don't want to keep you up -- why, I should march right back out the door and leave you be.

And ... hm. Her gaze slides elsewhere, unreadable, while she taps her coffee against her hip in thought]
You needn't be worried, Master. My threats aside, it does me little good to kill anyone here outside of a demon.

[Naturally they have no proof, given the method of Zero's death, but...]
I have to wonder if Zero-chan was just unlucky, or if she found an answer to her question.

[Her voice coils with a growl. There are many reasons that Zero's death displeases her]
But either she was lured away, chased, or she's simply that impatient. I would believe all three.
