[ He listens to what Mephisto is saying without interjecting (surprisingly), growing more and more skeptical as time goes on. Even if what he is saying is true, it's hard to take it to heart with their past - and the fact that he can never really be sure if he can glean any real truth out of him. Rin is a gullible person, sure, but he's also stubborn when it comes to his perception of others. It isn't going to change based on one interaction.
But his features do soften just at the mention of his father, against his better control. ]
And now is the time ya wanna make good on that promise? 'Cuz ya can't just use me as ya want anymore? Tch...
[ Where was all this sentimentality when he sent Amaimon to beat the shit out of him (twice)???
It annoys him that Mephisto and his father were presumably so close. And that Yukio isn't here to help him navigate this confusing expression from Mephisto he's been presented with, since all Rin wants to do is react in anger rather than analyze. ]
Ya never cared about any of that stuff before. Brothers? Looking after me? [ He scoffs, pushing up against the dumpster from his crouch so he could stand to his full height. He might've shown more vulnerability in the face of anyone else while talking about his dad, but in front of Mephisto that just seems wrong. ] Just makes me think my shitty old man didn't know what he was thinking when he asked ya all that.
