It was somewhat of an awkward conversation, and it only served to remind him that he didn't know the Dullahan well at all. Mikado found himself glad that she was looking away. Her eyes were a bit disturbing when focused on him, a sharper way of watching than she had before.

And then, of course, she looked back at him when he questioned, and he blinked, looking down. Only to glance up a beat later in curiosity. For the first time? "You, ah... You didn't have to eat before, Celty-san?" Something he hadn't even considered actually, and had only assumed. As an 'inhuman' existence, he should have considered that. How would she have ate, for starters? Unless she could absorb it, or.... Did her body just continue on, without nutrients and changeless? He was curious suddenly, irrevocably so, but questioning like that seemed far too much of an overstep. He wasn't willing to tread there so casually.
