[Is he very brave, very stupid, or does he have a death wish? Some combination of all three? Knives approaches, intent to point the dagger at his throat to see if his resolve cracks.]
You've proven your usefulness already. There is no need to stop now.
[Definitely a bit of all three. The knife comes right up to his throat and there's still no reaction.]
You realize other people know I live here too, and a strong wind could knock you over right now, yeah?
[He is just. Saying.]
Plus there's this girl who likes to break into my place and I guarantee she'll be more trouble than she's worth if you try to kill her, too. Spare yourself the headache.
[Maybe he has no basis for this impression of her but he would literally eat his hat if he's wrong, so.]
Let's get one thing straight, by the way. I helped you out 'cause I felt like it, but I ain't anyone's lackey.
[The daggerpoint applies a pinprick of pressure enough to break skin, but otherwise, his hand remains steady, assessing his options. Unfortunately he has to concede that Shinjiro helped him before, so killing him now would seem wasteful. It's also true that drawing the attention of more humans hunting him down would be his worst nightmare, when he hasn't gotten stronger yet.
He lowers the dagger and sheathes it.]
I'll spare your life, as you spared mine. Nothing else.
[He cleans the blood off his dagger point, and brushes past him to investigate his options.]
