You're new here. How's anyone going to know any of that?
[Ryuk at least looked strange, Lucius looked human! But humans seemed to know when something didn't belong in their midsts, and they were treating ALL the new arrivals as if they were something dangerous, not just the ones who looked different, like himself.
Ryuk was no genius. Not like Light. But he could notice things too. Usually when humans had an inflated view of themselves there was a reason for it. Was this guy a mayor? Some hotshot in some position of power? A president maybe!
That idea is dashed pretty quick; he didn't think Britain had presidents. Or anyone who claimed to be wizards, at least not since before electricity. He weighed Lucius' behavior and manner of dress against what he dimly recalled of that era, and after a moment gives up. It's probably not important.]
Huh. You got a young family. [Again that chin-rub, it's an artificial gesture but if he had to be human now he might as well try to act like one!] That might not be as frightening to the humans here as being a twenty foot tall rock monster, unless you got the fancy sort of magic. It's been a long time since any human I ever spoke to said they could do that kind of thing.

[Magic. Humans with magic. Now that was funny!]
