Nitou's dealt with weird monsters before...mostly through fighting them and then magically eating them. But he doesn't have Chimera inside him demanding food, and the other guy isn't exactly jumping out as being some kind of threat there. He's cool with the horns and fangs for now.

He is, however, thoroughly confused by that weird buglike trill, because that is not at all what he expected. "Uh..."

But he takes the furry ball and listens to it as instructed. "Weird." He's flipping the ball this way and that, trying to figure out what's going on here. "You got any idea what it is?"
