Mika doesn't mind the break from talking, it lets him focus a bit more on watching where he's going. Even with keener senses than a human, navigating a swamp is tricky business, especially moving as quickly as he is now. That, and it lets him ignore the question of just why he decided to help this guy he only just met and isn't even sure yet whether he can trust him.
Or maybe that's just it in and of itself; as far as Mika can tell, Armin is just an ordinary human, with no access to the kinds of demonic weapons and devices the Imperial Demon Army uses. Certainly he'd looked plenty helpless when in that monster's grasp, not to mention terrified when he learned what Mika is. Which, as Mika's thoughts drift in that direction despite himself...
"... Normally, I only need a small amount of blood at a time," he says, answering an unspoken question from earlier. It doesn't mean he couldn't easily drink someone dry, of course, and many vampires routinely did just that, but Mika isn't inclined to just wantonly kill people.
Definitely. He's such a great character all-around really (not that I'm biased at all..... XD)
