"Huh?" This time, it was Ryuk's turn to raise an eyebrow.
He had not expected such a reason.
"You see me as an equal, do you not? You don't fear me at all. You seem to have realized I am at the Eternal stage, yet you never really rose up from your seat in shock, like most I have come across in more than hundreds of years would."
"That's only because you don't think I can get rid of you in an instant. Your act of probing, your claim that you own your beast and that she can only be taken away from you, was something any beast tamer with a shred of pride in their heart would do for their beast. But the way you did it was borderline disrespectful."
"And what I found nauseating is knowing that your disrespect didn't come from the fact that you know I wouldn't kill you because I value your beasts. It came from the thought process that made you believe you would be able to survive a battle with me."
