[... Okay, that's slightly better than expected. Atsushi looks at the cub. Fierce(-ish), white...]

It's not a yaksha, though.

[Whereas clearly it's a sweet.

That's it. That's all he got.]

It's no daifuku either, but that didn't stop you.

[Akutagawa points out.]

There was a point to this before this juvenile argument started.

[Conveniently ignoring that he's the one who started it. He walks towards Atsushi, ready to tell him what he's sure he's probably thinking about. No, actually, Akutagawa is sure that it's exactly what Atsushi is thinking about.]

If you must know, I have not killed anyone since getting here. [Not that it's been that long, but it still matters. Probably!] As far as I know, threatening isn't part of the deal.

[Ugh, busted. It's extra embarrassing because Atsushi said he wouldn't name the cub after food - and then he did. But thankfully Akutagawa doesn't know that.

It's more of a relief than it should be to hear that Akutagawa hasn't killed anyone, but there are reasons why Atsushi can't help but take the guy's threats seriously - and having seen him in action is only, like, half of them.]

I can't say I take you as the type for empty threats.

[What if threatening is your gateway drug, Aku? What then?]
