[ He knows he's probably right, but being told what should probably be obvious has made Dimitri petulant and stubborn and so he does not relent and instead focuses on prying his charred cookies off the sheet pan so they can cool. ]
But I intend to see this through to the end.
[ Is he talking about this weird sex game or the cookies? Who knows. ]
Are you here to get better acquainted with me then?
Yeah. [This seems to summarize literally all of that, because he can admire a healthy dose of stubbornness since he runs on pure spite some days. He lets Dimitri work and goes back to his coffee mission he originally came to the kitchen for.] Seems to me we have some contacts in common so it made sense.
Higekiri, Hizamaru...Tamamo...people like them. [Hm. One of these things is not like the other.]
[Oh. Maybe this is why Tamamo said not to fucking provoke him. But he just holds up his hands carefully in an appeasing sort of motion. There, there, young beast....]
Tamamo kind of told me a little of what happened and I wanted to see if you were okay. [Which is surprisingly true. He was pretty livid at first when he initially learned, but sometimes trauma makes you do crazy shit and he's had some insight since then.] And if you still think my intentions aren't real, I'll go as soon as the coffee's done.
[ Dimitri looks over his shoulder at Junpei– he doesn't look mad, perhaps just tired if the withering frown he offers is any indication. ]
I have already made plans in the case that such an... ordeal occurs again. You need not worry, I don't intend to allow myself to be a danger to anyone here. Not without reason, at least.
Not really what I asked you, but good to know. [That's..also a look he recognizes, and he's wondering if maybe he should have just left it alone.] ...what would be within reason?
[Listen. It was worth a shot. But he's still not moving and allows Dimitri to face him head-on.]
Of course I would. Any reasonable person would. But that's exactly my point. What do you do when there are multiple people who have no intention of letting people be hurt, but their way of protecting them is hurting other people?
All the more reason I'm trying to understand the people here. [Knowing who may be a threat and who may help to stop them.]

He sighs, and grips the edge of the counter with his hands. ]
If there's something you wish to speak tome about it'd be best for both of our sakes that you be direct.

Dimitri turns fully so that he might face him. ]
I have no intention of letting any harm befall my allies, or to allow anyone to cause undue suffering. I don't think that is unreasonable, is it?
[ a look ]
Would you not do the same? To protect the things you value?
