He knew that 'akuma' was a regional word for Hollow. There were a lot of different terms. Hollow, Fiend, Akuma, Daemon... undoubtedly there would be others. But ... the newcomer sounded like he'd bitten one. Or did so regularly enough to have an opinion on the taste.
More than that, he ... preferred live prey. Was that animals? Or people? Lumi wasn't about to judge either way, he was a contract killer. He killed people for money, what did he care if somebody else killed them for ... what, food? It was strange to hear somebody describe people as 'prey', if that's what he was describing, but it gave an indication of the potential for aggression.
Lumi doubted it was enough to worry about.
In the distance, he felt the reiatsu of somebody moving about. He gave a silent sigh. He wanted to lurk about, taking in information without putting himself in there, but the time had to come to go into the room. He did rather want that coffee as well.
Fortunately, they wouldn't know that he could understand Jyllandi. If they were ignorant enough, and he didn't mind at all if that was the case, they could speak around him. At least then nobody would see him listening at doorways.

He put a hand on the door and pushed it open.
