Um... no.
[and he shakes his head]
I know that you can't really believe me because that's probably the easier thing to think about someone who hasn't talked to you before...
But I was asking because it's better to know if anyone gets trapped somewhere in the future. To be careful with what they find, and to get it to you as soon as possible before they.... [might die]
Do you expect me to be as stupid as everybody else who buys the hapless do-gooder act?
You return this, something - important. You can't fathom how important. [there's a glint of fangs from inside the hood.] And then can't wait more than two seconds to ask after what you're getting for it.
[ . . . . noooooooooo he will just continue to shift a little awkwardly.]
... Pride-san....
[ . . . . ]
I really am sorry.
Is there something I can do to make it up to you...? I don't think there's anything you could really need from me... [he's not the Avatar here] but I want you to know I'm serious.
[so maybe to prove that he doesn't want anything from pride, maybe he can try to do something to make up for it???? he's at least stubborn]
[it's a snarl - and with it comes a debilitating headache, which will last for five minutes before letting up. when mineo can see straight again, pride is gone.]

But... I guess I need to ask something then - I know that Takeru got something in exchange for returning an item last time.
Is the state of the rose why there's no exchange? Or is it because Ashiya-san wasn't the one to return it, and they went on the adventure?

Both. [there is a very soft, very... simmering sort of anger in their tone.] I'm impressed that you'd boldly lie like that.

That's what I wanted to check.

Leave me alone.

That's not...
I'm not acting, and I don't think you're stupid.. I didn't mean to offend you, Pride-san, and I'm sorry that I chose a bad question at a bad time.
[but he can't really say sorry for asking it, when it feels like something important to know]
But I don't want you to think that I just came here because I wanted something from you either.
