( he doesn't expect a walking, talking bird-like creature (demon???) approaching, but he's not in a state to do anything about it--- and he doesn't want to. though tanjiro doesn't want to live in a world of false and bad assumptions, those who seem to be their seniors here... if either miyako or hawkmon were trouble, they wouldn't be here. that's what he has to believe. it's better than letting paranoia win.

and also? hawkmon's clearly friendly. tanjiro's more than happy to make sure he gets the drink in hand (wing???) before bowing to both separately. )

My name is Tanjiro. It's nice to meet you, Hawkmon and Miyako. And yes, please! If there's someone we can help, then we should do it.

( because that's the Right Thing to do. anyway. they can head to that person-in-need together, and he does have to ask--- it's genuine curiosity that drives him right now. )

I'm sorry if this is rude, but what is your friend?

( to miyako, obviously. hawkmon is the most not-bird he's ever seen in his life. )
