This is far from the first time Demeisen has fielded overly friendly humans intent on spending time with him, but usually it’s people who at least know who he is—amusingly misguided though that makes their desire to know him better.

[Like, he would if he agreed to go outside with him, but that’s why he’s not keen on committing himself to bringing him along.]
