IT'S GOOD TO MEET YOU, MY CRIME AND PUNISHMENT !

Akuma lifts his head as an feminine voice reaches his ears. They twist forward in response, golden rings pierced there clanking together pleasantly whilst he turns his attention warily onto Atbash. The Hailcaller seemed amiable at best, at least from what he was getting from his impression of her, but with Akuma as he was now - he could not allow himself to trust this person just because they seemed nice. Although already plenty close to his daughter, the servacal finds himself placing a paw over her as if protecting her from an potential threat. "Not at all." He replies, his smile tight as he fixes Atbash with his brilliant yellow eyes. The other goes on to introduce herself: Atbash, leader. Perfect. He thought sardonically to himself, subconsciously pressing his ears against his head as he contemplated his next move. So far, nothing screamed at him that this place wasn't like what it seemed. He supposed why not give this place a chance? If he didn't like it, he'd take Riku and they would be on their way.

Regaining his composure, he sits up straight and he forces himself to appear relaxed and easygoing. "I was hoping me and my daughter could, ah, stay here?" He inquires before going to introduce both himself and Riku, pressing a paw to his chest first. "I'm Akuma, and this is Riku." He looks down at the child, the softest smiles curling upon his lips. It was odd to Akuma, the way he was acting. He would usually be far more confident - far less anxious - but when a good reason presents itself, he would quickly find himself restless. Truthfully, he really just wanted to rest for a while, seeing as he and Riku had been on the move for quite a while now and he knows that her tiny paws must be aching something awful from traveling so much.
