"Sure." Maybe Miketsukami would mind, but Ryusei didn't really care. In any case, if Miketsukami was going to have Ryusei along, he didn't think he'd mind one more, and anyway if that were the case, Miketsukami wouldn't have bothered to introduce himself.

Probably.

"What kind of defense are you not bad at?" Maybe not a good question to ask to calm Gabe down, but Ryusei was genuinely curious. And maybe talking would distract the guy. And actually, it would be useful to know, if Gabe snapped somewhere down the line.

Not that Ryusei would do anything.
