[...oh. Oh, wait. He looks down at his necklace, and...welp. Sure enough, that weird charm he received a while back is looking pretty haggard, the once vibrant feather nearly as black as the Darkinium Z crystal hanging beside it.]
[And finally, it clicks.]
This was from you? [Makes sense. He was wondering who had left the damn thing on his doorstep...] ...and is the reason I don't feel so queasy around you this time, huh?
It is one of my feathers yes, it is capable of burning away corruption as I do.
[Which is to say it was also as capable at getting overwhelmed as he was, but in time the talisman should clear up again. Even now it remained holding strong. It would be fine so long as there were no more monsters for him to deal with.]
I told you before. I make humans ill the longer I am around them. It was better to just leave it and return to my duty.
[Also he’s bad at people and didn’t know how you go about giving these things.]
Kid, most people throw shit away when they don't know where or who it came from.
Next time at least leave a name or something.
[Part of him is wondering if he should be a little offended that Xiao even went through the trouble of leaving a gift that implies making it easier to meet again and then proceeded to...do the exact opposite of that, but. Then again, he already had the impression the kid is absolutely terrible at dealing with people.]
[This just confirms that.]
That said—
[Don't mind him, he's just using the brief distraction to grab Xiao's arm now, so he can start wrapping that up to stop the...misting......]

Why the secrecy, though?
