[Nice slip Kida. Internal note: question Erika later. Picking a side other than Her Own doesn't fit her profile.]
Really? I think you'd appreciate each other quite well. The only difference I can think of is Erika doesn't bother hiding how much of a monster she is.
[that last part honestly surprises him, but he just laughs it off]
That person and I don't really like each other at all. We just tolerate each other for a mutual friend. [he stands up, stretching out] But thanks for the advice. I really appreciate your help. I'll take everything you said into consideration.
[Maybe the ghost of a smile at the laughter. Points for keeping face well.] Of course. Us monsters have to remain civil, after all.
Sorry that I won't join you. I won't pick sides unless I get a guarantee of Lion's safety. But if you need any more help, feel free to seek me for advice. [Kida's a smart enough kid to catch the real meaning behind the oddly-worded last sentence, or at least banking on him being smarter at catching things than Mikado. Whether he takes the offer or not is his own decision.]
It's a shame you won't be able to join, but I'll probably see you a lot. I need a lot of pointers for this kind of thing, and I can't think of anyone better to ask.
[he leaves all the literature he brought with him on the floor as he heads to the door to leave]
[Not calling him out on leaving his things lying around. Such an obvious move. Kid needs to work on subtlety, hopefully it'll come with age.] I'll try to be as helpful as possible. Good luck.
[And the conversation might have even ended on a nice note. But then Kida starts using gratuitous english and earns an immediate facepalm in reflex. Ughhh Battler. Even when he's in a different dimension he's still causing migraines.]
I only know one idiot who says that and he's worse than you. Don't sink that low.

[he's out the door and then he pokes his head back in]
'Bye bye.'
