[Ghouls Hide can handle. They don't scare him anymore than a person would fear anything they feel potentially threatened by. They're easy to predict, easy to read, because when it comes right down to it they aren't so very different from humans. They share things like family and hobbies and beliefs. Hide can understand them and so they're aren't something he fears.
But the things here, the random acts of violence done by robots and monsters and plants leave Hide cold in a way he's never been because he can't predict them. He doesn't understand them, or their driving force. So he's probably standing there like an idiot as the vine shoots towards him, watching numbly as Arima slices through it.
It takes the sound of Arima's voice to startle him out of his daze. He swallows, nods, and begins stumbling back a few steps in an attempt to get out of the way.] Uh, y-yeah. Right. I'll just...go.
[Arima's question, however, stops him in his tracks before he can get far. His mind races, searching for an answer. He could easily lie and say they've never met which, isn't a complete lie. But the risk of that backfiring upon Arima realizing who he is doesn't seem worth it.]
Not exactly. I'm Nagachika Hideyoshi. I worked as a part timer for the CCG and later as an Investigator Assistant to Investigator Amon-san and Investigator Mado-san. It's an honor to meet you, Investigator Arima-san. [He'll even offer a quick bow despite the...interesting circumstances.]
