Mc Donalds. There's this allure about the fast food joint that Kyubey can't help but be drawn to. The golden arches were heavenly, a beacon amongst the hustle and bustle of everyday, mundane human life, and the greasy fries were, out of most things he'd tasted before, godly in texture and satisfaction. Yes, Kyubey had found himself at Mc Donalds, having stolen a large order of fries from some unlucky customer. He'd dragged the container outside of the building and had begun to help himself off to the side, munching on fries as his beady red eyes glanced about.

Delicious, really.

And that's when he noticed Gabriel, half a fry hanging from his mouth as he stared. Well, he seemed rather irate, didn't he?

Irate? Oh no, no, no. This was second verse of "Delilah" levels of irrational and it was only the fact that he happened to be on a street in front of the happiest place on Earth after Disneyland that kept him from drawing his blade, stabbing Kyubey in the face, and then walking away.

He stopped in front of the... You know what? This couldn't even be called a cat. It was like the prize pet of some alien James Bond villain. This was really what had eluded him? ReallySomehow all irrational emotional deflated in that moment. Not because he was suddenly less pissed or stricken by how adorable Kyubey was in the fur- far from it. It was mostly because.... It was kinda pathetic, honestly. And if you believed that made Gabriel all the more wary and cautious... You definitely didn't know jack shit about Gabriel's attitude. If anything, it just made him all the more relaxed about his dominance in the situation

With the fry disappearing into his mouth, Kyubey turned to face the angel, blinking up at him curiously, front paws pressed onto the ground. "I don't eat souls." Was the reply he gave, which was, well, half the truth. He devoured Grief Seeds - the corrupted souls of Puella Magi that had turned into Witches, not human souls themselves.

By that time, they couldn't be called human anymore.

"Balance is what I receive through a contract - not for myself, but for the Universe."

Well, at least that was something- although Gabriel wasn't sure he believed it and the fact that he couldn't tell if it was a direct lie or a lie by omission was grating. Stupid alien lifeform.

"Good for you," Gabriel retorted, crossing his arms over his chest. He looked like an idiot staring down a thing that most people would likely write off as a mutated cat, but it was not, by a long shot, the weirdest conversation he'd had in public. People either learned to glance away from him or deal. "Except you're not in the your universe. Last I checked, this one wasn't built on blood and souls. Nice try with the humanitarian work- A + for effort, but, uh... It's not gonna do you any good. This universe is way outta balance and nothing is gonna fix that."
