[He blinks at the initial suggestion that he be the distraction, his expression turned dubious. Again—normally he'd have no problem with it! He's great at grabbing people's interest, and thus he makes for a good decoy. But there are monsters roaming around down there, and if he tries to distract those, he might die! (... and then come back to life in the clinic afterwards, according to Esikko, but still.) It'd be one thing if Fuuta was just asking him to distract the staff, but—
... wait.]
You want me to distract the staff?
[That's not what he expected, judging from the confused look on his face. But Fuuta is more than happy to elaborate, explaining that the staff are the ones getting in the way of him leaving. Apparently they don't want monsters roaming the halls. Which is a surprise, considering they're agents of an evil entity! But he guesses he can see where the monster infestation would interfere with normal operations.
He can ignore the "Are you stupid?" comment given the circumstances. He does, however, interject when Fuuta makes the comment about him rubbing his higher rank in his face. He arches and eyebrow and asks,]
When did I do that? Do you mean when I called myself "head servant"? That was just me trying to take responsibility!
[However poorly that worked out. But he does listen to the rest of what Fuuta's saying, pulling a bit of a face when Fuuta addresses him as "Dumbass" at the end. Still, he has no real objections to Fuuta's plan.]
My rank isn't that high, you know. But that all sounds fine by me. Whatever my rank might be, I'm good at getting people's eyes on me. You saw for yourself during that lawn game! ♪
[He reminds Fuuta with a smile.]
I just don't want to become monster chow, so I will need help getting past the monsters. My birds might be able to distract some of them, but they're delicate little things. Unlike you, who's big, strong, and tough! So, you protect me from the monsters, and I'll distract the guards! ♪ That sounds like a fair exchange, doesn't it?
[Both of the magpies start to chirp again, likely assuring him that they'll be OK and they're not that delicate. But he doesn't know what they're saying, so for now he just strokes their little heads.]
