It's a stimulant, so yes, typically. Some humans react differently, though.
[A little handwave. Humans and their biology do whatever the hell. The way he just assumes this is phrased in such a way because Kate herself seems obviously nonhuman to him so he guesses she's never had it before, but i aki know the truth of the fucked up coffee.]
[He doesn't dislike kids especially compared to headass adults, so he will not make this very simple question the whole entire headache he's been making it for other people.]
Shouki no Kami is fine, or Shouki. Any work well enough, though. I've been called many names through the years and have no attachment to any. Yours is simply "Kate", yes?
A cult summoned us there, to be sacrificed for their dark god...
We did what we could to undermine their ritual, so that it would be incomplete, and we would be able to deal with their god before it could become an even greater danger.
Yes. The god and cult were defeated. And we were able to use some of the magic and technology from that place to ensure our safe returns to the places we came from.
That one would call it all "unearned" is... honestly, infuriating.
I've found that it's true across worlds that things with too much time and power often tend to be infuriating.
[THEIR GOLDEN ENDS... He does not care about golden ends or even about maintaining them but he hates gods and god-like beings with too much power over him specifically.]
Doubt it'll happen, but it would be nice if they could slip up enough for us to kill them.
[Both of these things are true... He also approves of the fact that she doesn't immediately balk at the idea of killing. Good work, strange small child.]
Precisely so. If you take, be ready to be taken from. [It's the circle of life! Or something.] If they can't manage to defend their own lives, they deserve to lose them.

Just in case one isn't enough to wire everyone's nerves into the next dimension with all the stress drinking people are doing, I guess.

... Are you different from humans, yourself?

[A nod! He is so old and he does not try to hide that he's separate from humanity, especially after dying the first time.]
Neither human nor mortal, as someone else so eloquently put it.

What should I call you? I believe your "passport" had a number of names...

Yes, just Kate.

[A nod at the confirmation, though.]
Where was it that you came from again? The town with the cult, right?

What was your aim there?

It sounds far removed from the gods I've known, but every world is different. You managed to deal with it then, I take it?

[ power corrupts. or maybe assholes seek power more than non-assholes. ]
Killing wouldn't be my first choice, but I suppose they can hardly complain, when they threatened our lives first.
