Rider was utterly bemused at the man's words. Nothing he was saying made the slighest sense to her.
The right to what? she thought.
Rider considered asking him what he was talking about, but Satoshi beat her to it.
"Not my world? Just what exactly do you think my world is vampire? You supposedly tried to eat my sister, no matter what you think it's my business. So get to the explanations and if you lie I'll know", he snapped.
Rider could see that Satoshi was getting irritated, and she could understand why. And, behind her, she could also see Kiyoshi was looking at the vampire rather angrily. She really didn't want this to turn into a fight, not with Kiyoshi around.
Jack spoke once more.
"Seriously. You don't even get the concept of vampire things being sorta well, only for vampires? Certain things aren't your business, and as I said, this isn't your world. The night isn't your world kid, it's my world. So shut up and leave me and Rider to our business."
Oh, I see, thought Rider.
Apparently, the guy thought she was a vampire. And, honestly, that was not a particularly unreasonable conclusion to come to, given the information that he had. She did drink blood on occasion, after all, and she knew that she did also smell of blood, too.
Rider pondered her options for a moment. She could admit the truth, but if she did she suspected that the guy would clam up, and right now she needed more information. Whilst she had no fundamental issue with vampires, if the guy was anything like the Dead Apostles from her own universe, she wouldn't want him within ten miles of Kiyoshi. On the other hand, he could be like Forest, a nice, friendly vampire who she would happily trust to babysit her master's son. Or, more likely, he could be something in between. Without talking to him, she couldn't discover the truth.
So, she decided it was best if she let him keep assuming for now. He might be a little upset later, but without knowing the truth she couldn't allow him to remain anywhere close to Kiyoshi anyway. Plus, in a sense she was a vampire. After all, she did live off the energy of others, even if it was magical energy and not blood, and even if it was usually freely given by her beloved master. So, assuming the guy even cared about her omission, she did have an argument to justify herself, albeit a completely fabricated one.
"Toshi, I think it's best if I talk to him privately", she said, smiling.
Then, she turned to Jack. She hadn't completely discounted the possibility of a trap, but nothing in this guy's movements or words had made him seem like he was powerful enough to prevent her even calling for help or escaping, and she very much doubted he'd have been able to set up any equipment to trap her in Forest's house.
"OK, we can talk. If you try to attack me, though, I will make sure you regret it".
